Monica writes-I think about her often and at times, I find that I can't hold back the tears.  She was my "first child" and will always hold a very special place in my heart.  She was absolutely wonderful with my daughter and son.  Her passions were eating, going on family walks and just being part of the family.  We hope a cure for cancer will soon be discovered.  We love her and miss her.

Ms. Riley
November 6, 1991 - April 17, 2001

Ms. Riley, a truly appropriate name
For she lived the "life of Riley" in the home to which she came.

A bit late was she, to a life of abundant love
Elaine, Katie and Tess were her gifts from up above.

But the love she received, she doubled and then gave back
To her adoring mistress and the members of her pack.

While the ones she left, will grieve and not quite be the same
Ms. Riley's love will always be with her special Mom, Elaine

At the bridge now she waits in a place where it's always spring
And adds a special arooo to the canine choir as they sing

And when it's time for us to go, we'll need no special light
For we will see Ms. Riley like a star that's burning bright

Dedicated with love to my friend, Elaine

You were here such a short time yet you touched us in a special way and changed our lives forever.  Dear Murph, the tears will never dry yet, occasionally I look at your precious face and there is small place in my heart where the memory of your special puppy antics bring a tiny grin.   We will remember you always and love you in a very special way.

Thank you, my sweet Jo, for giving me seven wonderful years--you made me so happy. I miss our walks, chasing squirrels and rabbits, taking rides in the car, seeing your cute tail wag. I loved hearing your little snorts, your cries of joy when you saw the leash, and the sound of you baying. It was all music to my ears. I will think of you every October 23rd and all those parties with dog food cakes. You were my first experience with true, unconditional love. I love you, Jody...be a good pup in heaven.
P. S. Penny really misses you too.

Maggie June 20, 2003 - May 20, 2007

Maggie

 I still cannot believe
that you have been taken from us
Your lovely, happy face I constantly see
You touched all and everybody around you

 You were almost four years old but still looked like a puppy
You had the eternal youth but not the eternal life
Far too young but experienced a lot (good and bad)
we unexpectedly had to say goodby
that hurts, very much hurts

We have surrounded you with love
done everything for you but could not prevent this from happening
It will become lonely, very lonely without you
Your happy wag of the tail, your funny dancing steps they are no more

 Maggie, you were so special, so sweet, so happy, so innocent
Why did this happen to you. It is not fair
I miss you so terribly my little princess
You should have become old and happy with us but it was not to be

 I know that you are in heaven now
but do not want to accept it yet
No place is good enough for you,
therefore you are to sweet - to nice, than the only place with us
Although you are now gone, you will always be in my heart

written for Maggie by Dad, Fred

From her loving Mom, Mariel

for my little princess; pain in my hart & still missing you

dark are my day's
my sunshine is gone
the night is dark
but, every evening there is a candle
that' s burning for "my lovely princess of sunshine and happiness."

how am I supposed to live without you Maggie
how to carry on my dear Maggie

Beloved first beagle of Connie Kubica, he was rescued from the Anti-Cruelty League in Chicago in 1986.  Connie fell in love with the breed because of him.  Fred had a long wonderful life with Connie and was 16 years old when he went to the bridge.  His legacy lives on in Connie's other beagles and in her support of beagle rescue.

Ace
July 17, 1987 - Feb. 7, 2002
Loved and missed by Wayne Fiori

He joined my pack on Good Friday 1999 when he was almost twelve years old. Ace had a presence that demanded attention. Throughout his life he was force to be reckoned with. He simply wanted to be next to someone. He was a beautiful dog.   Ace's final months are chronicled http://www.fiori.cncdsl.com/Beagles/Ace/

much loved by Wayne Fiori and good buddy to Halsey and Ace

"I count myself in nothing else so happy

       As in a soul remembering my good     friends."

Halsey
beloved companion of Wayne Fiori

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free!
I follow the plan God laid for me.
I saw His face, I heard His call,
I took His hand and left it all...
I could not stay another day,
To love, to laugh, to eat or play;
Things left undone must stay that way.
And if my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss...
Ah yes, these things I, too, shall miss.
My life's been full, I've savoured much:
Good times, good friends, my masters touch
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief—
Don't shorten yours with undue grief.
Be not burdened with tears of sorrow,
Enjoy the sunshine of the morrow.
I'll be with Jack and my pal Ace
Until again I see your face.

Wayne is an example of what all doggie dads should be.  He has a depth of love, wisdom, fortitude and caring seldom seen these days. Wayne you have my admiration and respect.

Katie Wright
Who left us January 14, 2006
Rest in Peace Barking Angel.

So do not grieve for me, dear Mom, as I am with my kind...

My collar is a rainbow's hue
My leash a shooting star
My boundaries are the milky way
Where I sparkle from afar.

Like home,  no pens or kennels here
For I am not confined
But free to roam God's heavens
Among my special kind.

I nap the day on a snowy cloud
With gentle breezes rocking me
I dream the dreams of earthlings
And how it used to be.

The trees are full of liver treats
And tennis balls abound
And milk bones line the walking ways
Just waiting to be found.

There even is a ring set up
The grass all lush and green
And everyone who gaits around
Becomes the "Best Of Breed".

For we're all winners in this place
We have no faults you see
And God passes out the ribbons
To each one--even me.

At night I sleep in angels' arms
Their wings protecting me
And moonbeams dance about us
As stardust falls on thee.

Even is this special place things change
But not that much
I race to bark at heavens  squirrels
And angels say, Katie, won't you hush !

So when your life on earth is spent
And you reach heaven's gate
Have no fear of loneliness
For here, you know I wait.

Ms. Riley and I will lead you in
and greet with kisses galore
And you will know again dear Mom
How much you are adored.

It Was A Wonderful Life

What a wonderful life I had
Someone special who loved me
If I was good or if I was bad

What a wonderful life was mine
My human, a special man
So good and so kind

What a wonderful life he gave to me
Good food, good care, warm swims
In my pool and in the sea

What a wonderful life was mine to enjoy
Soft beds, sweet smells
And my favorite toy.

What a wonderful life I gave to him
My love, my devotion
And smiles and grins

What a wonderful life we had together
A great human, a great beagle
What could be better

What a wonderful life I had
Beagles round the world were my friends
So don't be sad

What a wonderful time I'll have as I wait
Seeing all my beagle buddies
As we play by the gate

What a wonderful life I'll have yet again
When I welcome my master
My very best friend

Snoopy and Ed have been special friends of rescue, the Beach Bum Beagles and myself.  We will always remember her and think of her with love.

Jake's "Grandmother" Jo writes that Jake was the beloved pet of her daughter.  She says "No one took better care of an aminal than my daughter and her husband."  The whole family is heartbroken at his passing as he was a special boy.

Ronnie Jones

? - 2007 (pictured with her special pal, Peaches)
Beloved beagle of Ken, Linda and Jennifer Jones.

Ken writes - To know Ronnie was to love her.  She was the only dog I have ever known that could light up an entire room by her very presence.
Last year when we were at the Humane Society near our homw for annual shots, the room was overflowing with dogs and cats.  In the hour + that I waited with her and Peaches, not a soul got past her without rubbing her belling and loving on her.  Indeed as the people were leaving with their pets they each gave a fond farewell to Ronnie and commented about never had they seen a dog that was loving and accepting of all strangers at all times.
Linda proudly called her our "love mop" one who was always wanting love and willing to give it back and shine in the radiance of warm acceptance.
The night of her untimely passing I heard her barking in the woods chasing a rabbit and while she did not return to my call her bellow of joy could be heard for miles.  I was deeply (and still am ) saddened by her passing and the cruelty of the child who turned her out to run, maybe thinking he was freeing her from a fenced prison while in fact sending her to beagle heaven.
As a pastor I know this - when I get to heaven I will find Ronnie and Blazier my childhood beagle waiting for me, wanting to sit by my chair and get bellys rubbed and go for a timely walk of exploration.

Ken and family have adopted 3 beagles from Bluebonnet.   They are a wonderful family and great friends of Beagle Rescue.
