But Not All Dogs Are Beagles

Little Jack succumbed to kidney failure in the early morning hours of December 23, 2006. We're not sure how old he was, just that he was maybe 17 or 18 and that he weighed all of four pounds. And that he was adorable and fierce. And that he could dance around the house on his hind legs.

Joey went to the Rainbow Bridge on Friday the 13th in August 2004, joining Casey, his puppyhood companion. All of 10 pounds, Joey looked like a puppy till the day he died. In all his time with us, we can't recall ever hearing him growl. Happy journey, Joey!

Jenny T., the Tennessee mountain hound—

Jenny went to the Rainbow Bridge on Friday, November 19, 2004, quite suddenly, with no outward sign of illness. She was our much-loved loping pony of a dog, and we'll miss her as long as we live.
