3. When we first bought our second beagle

we could carry her in the palm of one hand. Now we have a hard time picking her up with both arms (she's pretty heavy for a beagle, our vet thinks she has adrenal gland problems.) The male went the other way - he was heavy when younger, but is getting far thinner, apart from a couple of tumors that have grown.

I wish breeders bred for long term health, rather than trying to breed to 'breed standards'.

7. Great pictures. As we change, grow and live our lives,

a long time relationship with a pet is so comforting, so stabilizing, so wonderful. These pictures capture that relationship.
