Puppy Love

Boogie Fever

"The Girls" were so fascinated with nostrils at one point that
we had to don protective gear.

Such gifted children

It was quite apparent at an early age that Beans & Boo were talented well beyond their years..

There's nothing like a good book to help you relax

A Heartbreaking Goodbye

With a profound sadness and a heavy, heavy heart, we had to say good bye to our beloved ol' beagle Snoop...Snoopy..a.k.a. noodle (I've no idea why...he was just..."my noodle") and sometimes I called him porkchop...Portly Porkchop.

He entered our lives when he was 5 years old and we enjoyed his company for the past 7 years. He was strong, healthy & quite content except for a bladder problem the past few months (which bothered me a lot more than it bothered him). He suffered what appeared to be a very sudden blood clot and was in some pain for a bit before rapidly loosing all feeling & mobility in his hind quarters. There was nothing more that could be done ( we tried against the odds with some injections). My husband & I sat with him, I held him in my lap & we fed him a bagful of k-bits. It was gut wrenching. I wish he had lost his senses but he knew us. We kissed him as he drifted off to sleep. We let him keep his dignity. He took a piece of our hearts.
