We adopted Lady Bird this week. We started fostering her back in November. In all of that time only two potential adopters have even asked about her. There’s just not a lot of demand for elderly, perennially terrified beagles with peanut-sized bladders. (The other night we caught her eying her own shadow warily.) With the alternative being to send her back to the SPCA, we’ve decided to serve as the old girl’s retirement home. She’s sweet, smart, and goofy, though, so I’m not complaining.

WALDO WALDO WALDO-
fat fingered that last one..
-sorry-
Congrats on the new family member!
Congrats! Next thing you know you’ll be adopting a CAT! ;)
seems like a sound decision to me:) good on, ol’ man. life smiles on beagle carers.
Waldo…You exemplify the compassion and heart of progressives….
I’m happy Lady Bird found you…..buzz…buzz…
Awww… she always looks so happy in the pictures that you have posted of her. Congratulations all around.
Good for you!
You can’t be too careful around beagle shadows, ya know. It’s a good thing you’ll have Lady Bird watching out for such potential threats on a permanent basis.
Lady Bird is many things, but smart may be pushing it. ;P
>>She’s sweet, smart, and goofy
. . . and so you recognized a kindred spirit? ;-)
Congratulations to a lucky dog.
Holding her is dangerous.
We’re saving a place for you among the ranks of compassionate conservatives. God bless both of you for your kindness to His creatures. They give back a great deal of love.
Scout, Chloe, Lucy and Tito
Oh yay! She’s such a sweet thing, and I’ve loved her pictures and story. I wish I could have dogs. But having a city apartment, living solo as a full-time worker + professional volunteer leaves no space, literally or figuratively, for a dog. Guess it’s all cats for me until the situation changes.
well done
our new beast is almost phobia-free, but she has been trying for three weeks to run off that bad dog she sees in the glass doors of the fireplace
I’d missed where y’all got a dog, Steve — that’s great. Don’t forget to post a picture at some point!
Yay and woof woof! I am sure that you will all be very happy.
I had an elderly dog who was able to control her bladder with drugs, and hopefully that is the case with Lady Bird as well.
