Our little lady died two winters ago of tick fever. We have had four Beagles in nearly 60 years.
We kept her cleaned and kept treatment on her all the time. She hunted day and night, she lived to hunt and kept the 40 acre hill hopping. You could hear her out at 2 o’clock in the morning but we tried to keep her up to give her some rest.
She could clear the window sill in my Dodge truck she got so excited when I drove in.
She captured the heart of everyone she met and our vet stayed with her for two full days to try to save her.
Every time I have lost one of these friends I say I’ll never have another.

Yep. My kids wanted a dog and I had already been an owner to two others that lived a long life and died. I did not want to go through it again, but they all wanted a dog. They got the dog.
Sooooooo.... we have had a beautiful black lab/golden retriever mix now for more than 3 years. She follows me everywhere.
They wanted a dog...and now it’s ‘my’ dog. :)
