Ringing in the New Year with Bob

As many of you know already, our beloved beagle Copper was diagnosed with cancer in November. He hasn't died... still hanging around, playing with his sister and his new little brother, and barking nightly at 7PM for his bone.  But, over this past weekend we stumbled upon the Utah Beagle Rescue website and found a beagle named Bob that was in need of a home. We sent an email to his family letting them know that we had room in our home, and in our hearts, for another beagle, and they responded the next afternoon with a phone call. We showed up to meet Bob and his family on Saturday night, bringing the pooches with us so they could all get to know each other. A few sniffs later and Bob was on his way home with us.

Bob is five years old and loves to sleep under the covers. He knows how to sit, lay, shake hands with both paws, and roll over. He mastered the doggie door in one day, but still has yet to give me a kiss. I guess we'll take the beagle kisses one day at a time.

Our home has been full of playing dogs, lots of beagle snuggles, and most importantly,  our home is full of love.
