Beth, sorry to hear about your cousin. I have had dogs all my life. I also had a Beagle. She was a terror...sweat though. My first dog was a small black poodle and I was around 2 yrs old. Had many many dogs after that. I loved them all.

I was just curious about the group, How many of you have had dogs through out your life, or are just newbies? I have had dogs since I was 5.Or that is my 1st memory of having one. Her name was Julie, and she was a Beagle.. She was so fat.. She would rome the neighborhood dumping trash cans.. We lived in a rual area, horse country. She was a good dog, and lived about 10 years.. Everybody knew her.. LOL My really 1st dog of my own was when I was 10, I had moved to Washington state to live with my cousin, she was much older then I. She bred and showed Collies. She gave me a pup to put through Obedience and show. I learned so much, and thats really where it all started from. I only lived with her for 2 years, and she let me take my Sancho home to California. I never stayed in contacted with her,after I left. She was very kind to me in the begining, but towards the end of my stay she was very mean. Never knew why, but my mom said that her mother, my mothers oldest sister was the same. I never got to tell her thank you for teaching me all she did and giving me Sancho. I learned she passed away yesterday of something called pix ? not even sure I got that spelled right. I have tried to contact her daughter, my second cousin through facebook, but no luck.. So this is for you cousin Kathy.. Thank you for all the love you showed me, and teaching me the world of dogs.. Beth
