This is Benny the Frenchie.
Benny is a true hero as he is fighting liver cancer and he's doing brilliantly well. What he's done is written himself a bucket list of things he wants to do and one of them is this:
"On September 6, I want every buddy to post themselves getting hugs and/or kisses from their mom, pops or human so we could all have a virtual hug pawrty since we can't all hug in the person."
So we are coming together to show our solidarity and love and respect for him and I tried very hard to like being cuddled! Here's the pictorial evidence of
First of all The Staff prepared herself for the event
She's just kidding :)

hug - squeeze (someone) tightly in one's arms, typically to express affection. Seen as an act of abuse when inflicted by hairless biped onto reluctant furry quadruped

Awww Austin...you sure do like hugging your Mom. Such sweet photos.
ReplyDeleteAustin, good job letting the Mom hug you. We sure would not let that happen to us. We don't even allow the Person to pick us up. But that is such a nice idea for Benny. Take care.
ReplyDeleteAww Austin, what a lovely picture of you and your staff sharing a moment.

ReplyDeleteSo sweet Austin. Hugs to you all. Have a fabulous Friday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Austin, it's so nice of you to show your sensitive, sweet side. :)
ReplyDeleteWe're purring for Benny.
Aww, this is so sweet. Best wishes for Benny, what a cutie. <3
ReplyDeleteHello there Austin!
ReplyDeleteWe found your blog from the Blog Hop of the Hugs Party for Benny. You're so sweet with your human. Awwww
We do hope to get to know you more and read about your adventures!
Love,
Piappies Fudgie, Princess, Frappie, Mocha, Sugar, Wai-Max, Wai-Pai & Forgie
Austin we know you did this just for Benny. If you're like us we hate being held. Well all of us except Abby, Abby really didn't mind Mom carrying her around all over everywhere. So Mom is really missing that hug you're giving your Mom in these pictures. We're purring for Benny.

ReplyDeleteDip Bridge and Elliot x
Oh boy, this is a mom slobber day too! Thank you for your kind words and for joining in
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Hugs to dear Benny and to everyone from all of us!
ReplyDeleteCount eight extra hugs from us, even though Maxx and Tessa didn't really want ones. Purrs...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post, darling Austin=we love seeing you getting hugs from your Mom, sweet boy!...We will keep precious Benny in our purrs and prayers...Happy weekend, dear friend...kisses...Calle, Halle, Sukki, Mommy Cat, Daddy Cat
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet, and Austin, it seems you're enjoying yourself in spite of yourself. Great pictures!
ReplyDeleteI think Annie is more partial to the second part of the hug definition, the little bugger.
Awwww, Austin... those are the sweetest photos we've ever seen of you and the staff.
ReplyDelete*heart melting*

Aww what a sweet photo, Austin! Unfortunately I never got around to posting a hug photo but I am going to hug Sookie now since she's closest to me. :)
ReplyDeleteAw, love this pic of you and your mom!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh adorable xxx
ReplyDeleteAhhhh adorable xxx
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!
ReplyDeleteWell done Austin - a hug with your human without the presence of a bitey-bite moment! I think Benny had a banner hug day yesterday - at least I hope so....I think all that love MIGHT have helped him with his fight with "THE BIG C". I pray so. HAPPY SUNDAY!
ReplyDeleteKitty Hugs, Sammy
HA!! That was great!
ReplyDeleteawww so sweet xx
ReplyDeleteWow, Austin. You are so brave. But really, I'm not going to go there. Your definition is spot on. They is not Demonstrations of Affections, like evabuddy says, but horrid hairless arm traps. Ugh. I need a baff just finking about it.
ReplyDeletep.s. your little Buddy Frenchie do deserve a head bonk and an extra treat for all his troubles, but sorry. I can only withstand so much pains, so i won't be joining you in this noble, if not a wee bit masochistic campaign. Good luck.
Thank you for your kind words about Lucy - after the car ride, the dogs, the vet and the needle she's having a snooze and hopes it was all a bad dream!
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Aww that is so cute. Sorry about your friend Benny. Sending lots of purrs and hugs to him.
ReplyDeleteSue B
What a lovely idea Benny game up with for universal hugging. At our house, while lap naps are high on the list, hugging is not, so our hugging with the human pictures are few are far between! We sympathize with you, Austin!!
ReplyDeletePurrs from the Zee and Zoey gang
Wonderful pictures and wonderful hug for Benny!
ReplyDeleteSweet idea, Benny, I'm sending you a hug.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I'm glad Austin's Mom didn't need to get out the bandaids!
xxoo

So great to see the both of you! I have already hugged Barney to such an intolerable extent that he is collapsed comatose, all four feet length of him, by my side. A very very very happy day. Passed the bar exam; just found out yesterday. Hugs to you two too.
ReplyDeleteBenny darling, I am sending you loves and hugs and tryst me, I get hugged all of the time. But there is no one to take our photo and truth being spoken, many of those are in the morning before she is out of her pajamas and she looks really ROUGH!
ReplyDeleteYou and mommy look fabulous together. Mommy there knows too how nice and soft and warm you are. No fair swatting now. xxoo
ReplyDeleteAustin, you and the staff look wonderful, and how sweet to send a virtual hug for Benny!
ReplyDeleteOh that is a sweet hug with your Mom Austin!!! You know I should have put a picture of Tom and me huging I could have!!!
ReplyDeleteYes I have Tom and I have a lot of great Blog friends as an old lady... I love my life!!
Aww, I wasn't the only one getting sappy. Now I'm tearing up the place. Literally. HAH!
