We adopted Beau in June, 2018. My mom and dad also adopted one of his littermates, and named him Jangles. Beau & Jangles! Beau was a smart boy and easily trained (although he was very stubborn and required some professional training, which was worth every penny!). Beau quickly became a part of our family and easily adapted to our seemingly always-on-the-go lifestyle. He was not a huge fan of riding in the car, but loved being with us on vacations to the cottage in Canada. While he didn’t love swimming in the lake like his brother did, Beau did enjoy rolling around in the soft pine needles, having free roam of the property, and chasing squirrels and chipmunks with Jangles… Beau developed a limp in late spring 2024…Devastatingly, the results showed a large tumor…We agreed – since he only had so much time left with us, we would not put him through another major surgery with a difficult recovery. We were advised to give Beau lots of love, hugs, snuggles, and kisses. He was given about 3-6 months, but likely on the lower end due to the size of the tumor. We did our best to completely spoil Beau in his last 4+ months. He enjoyed his last trip to Canada in August. In late September, Beau eventually stopped eating. Our mobile vet helped Beau pass peacefully at home, outside in the yard on his favorite dog bed. It was a beautiful day, no clouds in the sky and a perfect temperature. The vet assured us it was the right call at the right time, and that it’s not often it aligns this way. Beau was the sweetest boy. Enjoy some of my favorite photos of him. We love you, Beau-Beau.
