Beauregard, Beau, my love muffin, buddy boy, Ray, Beau Buddy
July 6, 2013- November 28, 2021
My baby boy is gone. A once in a lifetime dog. Here is the last picture that was taken of him. He always loved walks. In fact when he came out of the lab so scared the only thing that gave him peace was going for a walk. So we called it walk therapy. And so we walked and walked and adventured together for years giving each other therapy. Mike and him became partners and best friends this way which is very impressive considering Beau was so scared of humans especially men. Beau was struggling to walk the last few days but he let us know that he wanted to go on one last walk, that the yard wasn't cutting it. So Karen and I took turns holding him on his normal daily route through the neighborhood. He enjoyed every second of sniffing the air reminding him of his freedom. His velvety ears flapped in the wind just like they did daily scooping up all the sniffs of the neighborhood. I have a huge beagle shaped hole in my heart now. I would love to share more of his story but it's just too sad to do now. He looked for me for comfort when he was dying just as he did when he was first freed from experiments. So I did just that. I held, hugged, kissed and loved on my baby boy with Mike and Aunt Karen until his last breath. I'll share more soon when I can.
