Betsy Beagle

I couldn't handle it... the pain, the pressure, no pet. Although Dan would rather be petless for another year so that we have no home responsibilities, I can't handle it. I became a Petfinder.com addict shortly after Emma passed and I think I have found the dog for us. We decided that we would both get one shot at a dog and if it didn't happen, we would wait another year. Dan inquired about a Bluetick Coonhound and never heard back from the foster family and I wrote to a shelter in Pickerington about a beagle named Betsy. I received an email about Betsy the other day and we have a date for Thursday morning. Miss Betsy is 3, house-trained, crate-trained, and good with kids. She is due to come on Thursday for a visit and if all goes well... she will stay for a seven day trial run. If we like her, she stays... if we don't, no strings attached and she goes home. My only concern is the lack of a completely fenced in yard. I hope she can win Dan over. I have not fears about the kids and myself.... Keep you posted.
