Darn It Beau, CGC, TT, CD, NAJ, OA

"Beau"

January 1994 - October 9, 2005

We acquired Beau from the Willamette Valley Humane Society in July of 1994. He was a 6 month old stray full of energy and charm and typical Beagle stubbornness. While Doug has had dogs before, Beau was Ellen's first, and quite the challenge for a first time owner. However, he brought such love, joy and humor into our lives, Ellen finds it hard to imagine how she lived without dogs before him. 

Through basic obedience classes, both Beau and Ellen decided to that they liked obedience a lot, and began to train for competition obedience. They completed their CD (Companion Dog) on December 13, 1998 with a first place in the class.  Doug trained Beau in agility and he earned his Novice Agility Jumpers and Open Agility titles before he was retired.

We lost Beau October 9, 2005.  He is, and always will be, sorely missed and will always be in our hearts.

Date of Birth: Approximately January 1994

My Name Is Pippi Longstocking 

"Pippi"

March 1993 - October 1, 2007

Pippi joined our household in March of 1995. We had decided that one Beagle was certainly not enough, and put our names in at the Portland Humane Society in case any Beagles came in. A week later, we got a call and went to see her. The poor thing was in awful shape, she was very thin, and covered in fleas and hotspots, and extremely timid. Through a lot of hard work, and socialization, Pippi blossomed into a happy, outgoing, little dog.  While she was never be an obedience or agility star due to an injury, she will always be a star to us and queen of the couch. 

Pippi left us October 1, 2007. Her sweet face and quirky ways will always bring a smile to our faces and warmth to our hearts.  She will be sorely missed.

Date of Birth:  Approximately March 1993
