Brucey's New Life

Hi Guys!

It's me Bruce! Or "munchkin" or "little stinker" as my Mommy calls me; I have many lovable nicknames. Life has been great for me with my Mommy and Daddy.

Life has been great for me with my Mommy and Daddy. For starters, I'm in the best shape of my life! My Mommy loves to stay in shape too, so I get to walk, run and hike with her frequently. I have a big yard, tons of toys- I especially love my dinosaur and my teddy, but we all call her my "girlfriend." I have gourmet treats and my Daddy is really good at teaching me new tricks.

My Daddy works from home so I am never alone, it's the best! I also have wonderful aunts and uncles that love me lots too. It's so good to finally feel loved. My Mommy says she loves me at least 20 times a day!

Did I mention my new sleeping arrangements? My Mom and Dad have a king size bed and guess what? I sleep with them, head on pillows with my little beagle boy body under the covers. My Mommy always tells me I am handsome and that I take after Daddy, but I am a lemon beagle, a lighter haired beagle so I take after my Mommy in that department. Man oh man, I just feel so lucky to have been adopted by my Mom and Dad, even though they think they are the lucky ones...

They had some issues with me at first; I can be a little naughty with other dogs, but my parents are patient and are teaching me good manners and I get better every day. I am also a well traveled Beagle. My Mommy missed her family back east so my Daddy was nice enough to drive cross country with me, so I could come too!

Mommy hates to leave my side. I frolicked on the beaches of Cape Cod, and even visited my Auntie's brand new doggy day camp and spa! It was a great trip. I got to meet my grandpa in Massachusetts and he took me to golfing. Then I met my great grammy! She is the best too, she sent me toys and treats for Christmas before she even met me! I even got to hang out with my cousin Bruno! Another fellow beagle boy. Then, I went to Minnesota and met my Daddy's Mom, then off to Colorado to meet my other Grandpa. I basically met the entire extended family.

So, as you can see, I'm a happy boy! Mommy tells me that she is going to get me a sister soon and I told her she better rescue a real deserving beagle from your website, and she promised to do so. Well, that's it for now. It's time to watch a movie with my Mom and Dad.

Little Miss Mia

It has been about a year since we adopted Mia. Susan Bouclin out of Sacramento was her foster parent.  We have another Beagle named Trotter that we adopted when he was 8 weeks old and we with both of us working, we wanted Trotter to have a friend.  It started out a little rough! After going through potty training and a few chewed up base boards, Mia finally came around. She was so scared and skittish when we got her. Now, she initiates playtime and loves being chased around the house. Mia is definitely a people dog. She loves her people, especially kids!  As Susan knows, the first couple of months were tough! But, we are so happy that we stuck it out with her because she is just the sweetest pup that anyone could ask for! 

Mary, Gary, Trotter, and Mia!


Max's Story

Happy Tails - Max's StoryHi! I'm Max, and I was adopted by the Dhillon family in June of 2009. When I first got to my new home, I was scared and excited. You see, this was my fourth home, and I wasn't even one year old yet! I wasn't sure if I would be here for long, so I tried not to get too comfortable. My family provided me with all the love I could ever ask for and eventually, I realized that this was my permanent home.

I'm living the good life. I get to lounge poolside and have all the space a dog could ever want. Every morning, either my mommy or daddy takes me for nice long walk, and when I get back I get lots of love from my brother and two sisters (they're human). Then I get to take a nice long nap. As soon as that's done, I play tug-of war, fetch, or any other exciting activity with my family and then its time for bed, I used to sleep with my sister, then I slept with my mom and dad until I realized I was happier downstairs in the comfort of my very own crate.

My family found me a bit naughty. I would jump on the couch, steal shoes or laundry, and tear up my bed. So one day, my daddy took me to Petsmart and signed me up for puppy training classes. There I met lots of new friends. Some of them were a little rude, but I learned to get along with them and my behavior really improved. I learned to sit, stay, leave it, and so many other exciting tricks. My favorite one was when I gave my paw to someone, because my mommy thought it was adorable and always gave me extra treats when I did it. I do admit that I'm still a little naughty, but at least I'm not as bad as I was before. 

I love my life here at the Dhillon household. I get love, care, and best of all.... Bacon in my food!! (Only when I'm good of course!) My family spoils me a whole lot, though. Daddy lets me sit by him on the couch and we watch the baseball game together, and Mommy picks me up and cuddles with me. I love her so much, even though I get a little annoyed when she fusses over my soft ears. The kids, who I call my siblings, give me lots of treats even when my daddy says that  I will get fat. But I don't need to worry about that since everyday I go on a long walk. Anyways, I couldn't have asked for a better family and a better place to live. Even though I have had so  many owners in the past year, I know that this time, I am here to stay!!!
