My sweet beagle Betty died today. She’s been in my family for about 12 yrs and she was about 3 yrs old when we got her. She was well loved, even by those who usually don’t like dogs. I’m happy she’s no longer in pain but I miss her terribly. I hope she’s getting lots of treats in the dog afterlife.
Sorry to hear, my beagle Marker moved on last June after 12+ years with me, he was also about 3 when I got him. Our little hounds are free from the pain of this world but missed by so many.
