BEAGLES ARE NUMERO UNO

WOO! WOO! As the owners of a super cute cuddly lovable Beagle, we have one question. What took so long! We sure are proud of Uno and his accomplisment, but we think our Barney is pretty fabulous too.

We got Barney last summer from the Humane Society in Detroit. One day Willie just decided he wanted a Beagle. To this day he's not sure why he picked that breed. The next thing we knew he'd found one on the Human Society website. Barney was the featured "Dog of the Day." It seemed like divine providence. We had to drive all the way up to New Baltimore to meet him. He was in foster care because his collar was ingrown into his neck. He was abandoned as a puppy in Detroit. (He still has a scar from where his collar was surgically removed.) Barney is a great joy. His little nose gets him in a lot of trouble but it's the "good" kind of mischief that you have to almost admire him for. When he first came home he was soooooo skinny. Now he's all plumped up. He's a keeper.
