I love ALL these pics and stories... hehehe. I, too, cannot wait until ktspktsp and I get to adopt our own furry kids... they will be well-loved, I can tell you that.
Will... I am in love with your little beagle. Is he still a puppy? Sooo cute. I have always wanted a beagle, but I'm wary of getting a dog unless I live in the country again (I grew up on some acreage, so the dogs were always outside where they belonged). Is yours a good indoor dog? I would love to have one like that!!
