This is the cutest face ever! She is such a sweet, loving little dog. I am so happy to have her. She makes me smile just by walking into the room.

I had always wanted a Beagle but we didn't find one when we first moved down here. I wanted to rescue a pound puppy and that is how we met Fred. (but that's another story for another page.....)

I loved Fred bunches, but my desire to have a second dog finally took over and I started the campaign to win Mike over to the second dog idea. He finally relented and the search began.

I contacted lots of very nice Beagle breeders, but none of them had any girls available. I found Mr. Sasnett online and emailed his daughter. They didn't have any puppies at that time, but a litter was due very soon. When we returned from our vacation, I had an email from Becky saying that puppies had arrived and they had some girls!

We drove down there when the puppies were only 2 weeks old to put down a deposit. They were so cute and little, it was hard to decide.

We picked Phoebe up when she was 6 weeks old and she's been a ton of fun ever since. She instantly fell in love with Fred, but I'm afraid the feelings were not returned. He tolerated her and stayed close to us as much as possible.

Here's Phoebe when she was around six months old.....

Here is Phoebe on July 15th, when she is 11 1/2 months old. She is such a happy little girl. If you would like to see her birthday pix, click here. She turned 1 on August 3rd!

Here is Phoebe during one of our training sessions where she is learning to stay on her place. She looks up and smiles at me when we are doing this exercise as if I'm a giant piece of Pupperoni! But at least she seems to enjoy her training sessions.
