Holly has been and will continue to be my constant companion. 
She is the most well behaved girl i've ever seen.

name: Rose
age: 10
Gender: Female
Here is a photo of my senior beagle Rose (on the left)and my younger beagle Murphy (on the right).   Although I have only had my Rose for a couple months, she has really become a big part of our family.  She sleeps beside my bed and when I open my eyes in the morning she greets me with a wag of a tail and comes up in bed for a morning snuggle.  From the little I understand from her past, it was not an easy one.  So, I hope I can make the rest of her years as happy and full of love as she deserves.

 name: Bastian
age: 14
Gender: Male

I found  your website and had to share my senior beagle, Bastian with everyone.  He is my heart and soul, a best friend, great listener and loves to express himself...quite the barker!  Bastian has been with me for 14 years and brought so much love and joy into my life!  Although we are in Georgia, its good to know those Jersey beagles are loved just as much.  Thanks for allowing me to share a bit of Bastian with everyone!

Maggie the beagle 20 years old Here is a photo of our 20 year old beagle, Maggie.  As you can see she is a very sweet soul!  Also picturedis Scout our 11 1/2 year old Swiss Mt Dog.  (He looks better when he's awake)  2 weeks ago he had minor surgery and the vets were astonished at how healthy he is for his age. The other dog in this photo is Tessa.  She is a 10 year old English Shepherd.  We refer to her as the "World's Greatest Guard Dog."  As you can see she's also quite a beauty. Back to Maggie the beagle.  Her medical history is as follows.  At age 12 she suddenly started crying and we rushed off to the vet.  She was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease and referred to U of P for spinal surgery.  I was quite upset and kept saying an old dog like this could never undergo surgery.  The vet isisted that this was something that sometimes happens to little old dogs and we must.  The next day we took her to a chiropractor we know and truste and he fixed her in 3 seconds flat.  No more crying. She had a lways had a problem with her anal glands.  Finally at age 14 they had to come out.  I was devastated thining I would lose her in the surgery.  She just wanted to get rid of them!  The surgery was a success but that was when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given two months to live.  The vet said nothing could be done and to just make her as comfortable as possible. I was feeding her one of the best dog foods on the market - special ordering it in.  I made the switch to raw organtic meat.  1 1/2 years later I took Maggie to the vet for a bladder infection.  The vet kept insisting it was the cancer.  I kept insisting it was a bladder infection. (I had them myself)  I was right!  The vet asked me one question.  "What are you feeding this dog??" Several months ago Maggie started crying again.  She was having a lot of difficulty making it up a single step.  I found a great chiropractor and she stopped crying.  She has again resumed her every other day walks. I think there's several factors involved in her health and longevity.... Love, companionship, and spiriturality.  But that's just my opinion.  I hope you have a wonderful Holiday!  Judy Szela

name: Oreo
age: 11
Gender: Male

Oreo loves people, food, as you can see from his belly, afternoon naps, and the occasional taste of mom's meatloaf..  He is the "king" of our house.   In his younger days he would run around the yard sniffing for rabbits and digging up beatles.  He gets really excited at christmas and after he gets a bath.  We love Oreo very much and could not imagine a better dog.

Your beagles name: Queenie and Sweetie
Your beagles age: 10 and 12 respectively
Gender: Female

Both of my babies are shelter beagles.  Queenie is a tempermental beagle that loves to climb into you lab, but will snarrel when you try and pet her.  Sweetie on the other hand does not like to cuddle but would betray everyone and everything for a belly rub.  Sweetie is the escape artist and master criminal of the two.  There is almost no place that is safe from her.  She has moved objects to make steps to reach a tray that was out of her reach.

So sorry..... At age 13, Sweetie passed away

Your beagles name: Shiloh Ears
Your beagles age: 8 (bday July 15, 1997)

Shiloh is my best friend. She's the sweetest most loving beagle.  I showed her in 4-H dog obedience and two years she got Reserve Grand Champion. She's very smart and knows many tricks.  Just recently, I found out that Shiloh has dog cancer.  Although, she's doing okay right now, she does have bad days.  I love her very much and can't image not having her in my life.  She's my Best Friend!!

Your beagles name: Ozzie
Your beagles age: 14+
Gender: Male
Please tell us what you feed your beagle: Paul's petfood or Nutro senior
Ozzie is a very loving and sweet boy and we can't imagine why his other people dropped him off at animal control at age 14! Fortunately he was rescued and then adopted by us.  He has two beagle sisters (lucy and sally) also rescues who are 3 & 4. He's in great physical shape (although his eyes are getting cloudy)and loves to play beagle games with the girls.

 

 

The first photo is the one I saw on petfinders, complete with the sad poem.  The second is a happy boy at his foster mom's (we use a harness when our beagles are on a leash).  He's such a sweet boy, likes to cuddle up in his blanket when he goes to bed at night.  I need to get a picture of that.

 

Thanks for the great site.

At 15+ years old, sweet Ozzie peacefully passed away with his loved ones

Your beagles name: Homer
Your beagles age: 10
Gender: Male
Tell us what you feed your beagle: Beneful Healthy Weight Management

 

We adopted Homer when he was 7 years old from a local shelter. He'd been adopted and returned from that paricular shelter five times. His early days are a mystery, but its obvious that he had been abused and let outside for long periods of time. He was never housebroken, and that's the main reason he was returned to the shelter so many times. It took a little time, and still a few accidents happen, but he is the sweetest dog. He is very gentle and is still playful. He loves when we go on our family walks and sniffing around our backyard. Everytime I look at his sweet face I can't imagine how anyone could return him to a shelter just because he wasn't housebroken. He's been a wonderful addition to our family and I look forward to (hopefully) many more years with him.

Please tell us what you feed your beagle:  Science Diet Senior

 

Lucy has been my best friend for a long time now. With the exception of a little arthritis she is as healthy as an ox. I recently started giving her glucosamine/condritin and asprin, which helps the arthritis imensely. She's never lost that beagle high energy zest for life and still goes crazy when she sees a rabbit. I'm glad to see so many beagles on her that are still healthy in their latter years.

Duke is a very special beagle. We got Duke as a puppy in 1999, saving him from a cruel owner who threatened to shoot him if he didn't get rid of him. At 7 years young, Duke is still very playful and energetic. However, age is starting to catch up with the Dukester and he's gotten a little bit slower in his step in recent years. Duke enjoys: Back rubs, playtime, going outside, begging for people food, and last but not least, attention.

Your beagles age: 12
Gender: Female
What do you feed your beagle: Bentiful Weight Mngt



We have been blessed having Katie in our family since a puppy. She has been a joy for all 12 years !! Having 2 yrs ago losing our 1st beagle Dexter at 14, she has had to become the older sibling to another, Elton , who just turned 2. Her major health issue has been her knee joints - Synflex seems to have helped. When it gets bad she gets a shot. She also was born with no tear ducts- hence the tear stains.
Katie is full of love and tenderness. She has a pure and kind soul - we love her dearly.

Thank you for having this page to share our baby girl.
aka name "baby cakes katie"

p.s. as she has gotten older she has become very camera shy. I think it's the flash.

Jeppe is not a pure beagle, somewhere in the family line he has dachshund in his blood. He has been a wonderfull family member through his years. He has done many funny things in his life. I remember once he hunted heifers on a field, suddenly all 10 heifers turned around and chased him off the field. He was realy ashamed and afraid that time. :-) He has 3 cat friends who loves him like a "big brother". They love to play and cuddle with him. Now a days since he is a senior he lives a quiet and peacefull life. He sleeps more now than before but when he is a awake he plays and eats almost like a puppy. Love and hugs from Leena and Jeppe, Sweden!

Your beagles name: Roscoe Your beagles age: 15 Gender: Male What do you feed your beagle: science diet   My wonderful Beagle just turned 15, he is joy to our heart and is just a bundle of love to be around.  Unfortunatley he has been battling weight problems his whole life and as his health has started to go his spirit is large as ever.  He has developed a large growth in his bladder and the outcome doesnt look too good.  I love my buddy to death it just kills me to see him go but i am glad i got to spend 15 great years with him.

 

 

Beasley was adopted when he was 2. He has always been the canine Houdini. When I first got him, he somehow scratched or ate away the solder to remove a metal bar from the top of his locked crate, and he climbed out of the small space the missing bar left! He's old now, with an enlarged heart and collapsed trachea which causes a relentless cough, but he's still a tough little guy and the acknowledged alpha dog even though his brother is bigger, younger and stronger.

Barney is the best Beagle ever.  After we got him at the age of 11 weeks, four other Beagles entered our lives.  Two of those beloved Beagles have since passed on.  Barney is a miracle; we love him with all of our hearts.

 

Sadly, on June 10th, Barney passed away at 18 years and 2 months old.
