Becoming reality TV's most eligible Bachelor came with perks for Ben Flajnik – like finding fiancée Courtney Robertson. One major downside? All the jet-setting has separated Flajnik from his dog, Scotch.
"Oh, God, yes, I miss him," Flajnik told PEOPLE at the Mark Zunino for Kleinfeld runway presentation in New York on Monday. "I don't even want to start talking about it. That's the hardest part about traveling."
"[Scotch] is the screen saver on [Ben's] computer," Robertson offered as a kind of confirmation.

Bachelor Ben Hits Vegas – Without Courtney
Originally posted 04/09/2012 06:00AM
Bachelor star Ben Flajnik took a business trip to Las Vegas sans fiancée Courtney Robertson – but that didn't stop him from going out on the town.
Early in his visit, the reality star dined at Joe's Stone Crab, where he shared a glass of wine with a colleague. Flajnik, who owns a vineyard, was friendly with bar staff and chatted about various wines. And when two female patrons noticed him, he was nice enough to play wingman as his friend chatted them up.
Two nights later, Flajnik, who was staying at the Luxor, took in Criss Angel Believe, a joint show between the magician and Cirque du Soleil. Joined by two business partners, Flajnik enjoyed popcorn and cocktails during the performance. Afterward, they headed backstage to chat up Angel.

Ben Flajnik Writes Final Blog as The Bachelor
Originally posted 03/14/2012 09:45AM
My final blog as The Bachelor. Aside from having hair that looked like a water buffalo, the day I proposed was an exciting day. This damn hair. Maybe it is time for a cut.
Boy, it has been a long time coming, and I am so happy it's all over. It has been a rough road, full of ups and downs, scrutiny and negativity.
What I will say is that I have found the positives to focus on amidst all the speculation and hate. People don't know what it's like to go through an experience like this, and until they have been a contestant – or the person in the driver's seat – I say, "Take it easy, because you aren't speaking from personal experience."
We have all decided to put ourselves out there in hopes of love, and we all know love can be messy.
