The greatest thing to ever happen

Twelve years ago today, November 18, 1992, the greatest thing that ever happened to me or my family to place when we officially became the owners of our beagle, Fenway. She was one at the time when my mom brought her home from the SPCA and wow has she grown. Actually, she's only really grown in weight since then but not enough for her to explode which our dad threatened was a problem with most beagles. For the last twelve years she's brought our family nothing but joy and happiness (and "accidents," unfortunately) and even though we all hate each other at times, we will never be able to do anything but love her as long as she continues to grace us with her presence. Wow, got real there for a second, but who cares. Happy birthday Fenway!

Now a celebration in pictures:


Squirming before take-off. 


Did you say something about food? 


Brother is able to hold her for more than 2 seconds for a photo-op. 


Artsy. 


Super Beagle! 


Queen of the bench-thingy. 


She likes to take a break from sleeping and begging every once in a while for some quality "me-time".
