Max (June 29,
2010)
On June
29, 2010 we lost our special
boy. Max was our "little old man" and the dearest dog we've
ever known. For six years he gave us his unconditional
love, made
us laugh, taught our children, and was a friend to everyone who
met
him. We miss him dearly and always will. Max was such
a
special dog who's kind and gentle nature made all who knew him,
love
him. There is a empty place in our family and in our hearts and
even
after all the tears have stopped we will never stop missing
him.
I love you Max.
You will
always be my Beagle Boy.
Always
in our hearts,
Your
Forever Family
Bentley
(Ben) October 17, 1996 - May 2, 2010
How does one encapsulate the essence of a
beagle and, in particular, our Bentley?
We want to share with you two of Ben’s favourite activities.
Ben loved to go for car rides, especially
long ones that ended up in a campground in the mountains
somewhere.
Camping and hiking were his “thing.” He had the stamina to do 24
km
hikes, come back to camp and gorge on dinner, chase a few squirrels,
and then
flop down in the tent with his nose sticking out just to make sure he
wasn't
missing anything. Ben was equally at home in expensive hotels
and,
believe it or not, understood the "no howling" rule and
obliged.
Ben also loved to open gifts – his or
anyone’s. He was always ready and
willing to lend a nose and a paw to the unwrapping of any gift within
his
reach. You would think he had opposable
thumbs given his talent for getting into all sorts of packages.
Bentley was an only dog, much loved and
pampered by his human mommy and daddy, and now very much missed.
Thank you, Beagle Paw, for permitting us to
post this memorial tribute.

Emma
(Mar.
2010)
Emma
left for her next big adventure while in foster care with Beagle Paws.She was only with us for a short while but
she certainly left an impression with her sweet, kind gentleness.Although she was of advanced years she still
managed to capture the heart of everyone she met.She
passed
away quietly in her sleep on
Easter Monday.
Creation
When God had made the earth and sky,
the flowers and the trees,
He then made all the animals
the fish, the birds, and bees
and when at last He'd finished
not one was quite the same.
He said I'll walk this world of mine
and give each one a name.
And so He traveled far and wide
and everywhere He went,
a little creature followed Him
until it's strength was spent.
When all were named upon the Earth
and in the Sky and Sea,
the little creature said, "Dear Lord,
there's no name left for me."
Kindly the Father said to him
"I've left you to the end.
I've turned my own name back to front
and called you DOG, my friend".
God
bless your dear little soul, Miss Emma.May
you find peace at Rainbow Bridge.

Poppy (Mar.
2010)
Ali (Nov. 2009) We
recently lost two of our beagles: Ali in November of 2009 and Poppy in
March
2010. Poppy came to us from Beagle Paws in February of 2006. They loved
each
other as much as we loved them. We don't really have
the words to describe our loss. We only know we gave
both Ali and Poppy all we could and everything they deserved (Ali loved
to
'borrow' shoes and Poppy liked her coffee in the morning)! They gave us
nothing
but unconditional love every second of everyday. They both had
Cushings
disease and God kindly let them pass quietly in their own beds at home. We will be forever
grateful that we knew these two beautiful, kind and loving
beagles who will always be in our hearts. We know they are together
again in
heaven. We miss them dearly. Alistair
and
Sonja
Cameron
(and Daisy, Nippy and George - the rest of our
beagle family).
Timmy &
Georgie (March
2010)
The fall of 2009 we were blessed to have 2
lovely beagles come into our care, Timmy & Georgie. The two
boys had never met before coming to Beagle Paws, but we lucky to find a
foster home together. Both dogs had serious health issues and we
knew there time with us would be short. Sadly Timmy passed away
in March and a week later Georgie left us as well. We were all
very upset with loosing both boys, but know in our hearts that we did
what we could for them and they had a great time together in their last
few months.
Rest in peace "Timmy & Georgie"

Princess "Yum Yum" (Jan.
15,
2010)
On January 15, 2010 our beloved girl Princess Yum Yum
peacefully went to heaven.
Princess graced our lives and the lives of all those who
knew and loved her since August of 2005. We were very lucky to
have
adopted our girl through BeaglePaws, and thank Sheila et al for their
great work
in saving dogs like Princess.
Her Highness fought a valiant battle against two types of
cancer, both of which were preventable had she been spayed at an early
age. Sadly, she did not reach the caring environment of
BeaglePaws until
later in life, and was spayed at approximately 8-10 years of age.
Princess will be missed forever by her Mum and Dad Melanie
and Mike, her BeaglePaws sister Bailey Jane, her cats Micha, Thai,
Lingling and
Suukki and her two rescue horses Fella and Queenie.
Thankyou Princess, you
saved my life literally,
and I am so sorry I could not do the same for you my darling
girl.........but
boy of boy do we love and miss you!
Melanie Harrell , Alberta Caesar (Jan.
1,
2010)
The
New Year did not start off very good for all who loved and had come to
know Caesar. Our little Beagle Paws boy developed a mass on his
lung and over the past few days his health took a turn for the
worst.
No
one wanted to see this darling boy suffer and we all knew it was his
time to rest. Caesar found peace as he crossed over the rainbow
bridge on New Years Day morning.
