Over two years ago, our dog, Kasey, passed away. She was our "first chid" and it was so hard when we had to let her go, especially after spending more than 12 years with her.
Kasey was approximately five years old when we adopted her. She was well trained and very calm. She didn't play with toys. She just loved looking out the front door and window, following us around the house and sleeping!
I took her on walks around the neighborhood and like most beagles she LOVED to smell EVERYTHING!
She was an amazing sister when Courtney and Caroline came along. They loved dressing her up and hugging and snuggling with her.
After we said goodbye, we needed some time, while I needed some time before getting our next dog. The girls and Matt wanted a puppy a few weeks later, but I held them off because of our hectic schedules and the home improvement projects that needed to be completed first.
Matt and I wanted an updated master bathroom and I knew I could use getting a dog as a leverage. So I made a deal that once the bathroom was updated, we would get a fence and then we could find a dog.
It took almost a year before the bathroom was almost complete and then a few months after that to find someone to complete the fence.
Our neighbors on all sides already had fences so we just needed doors and corners to close in the back yard. With such a small job, it was actually harder to find someone to complete the job at the price we had in mind.
The fence was complete this summer and we started looking at PetSmart and having conversation about the type of dog was wanted next. Matt grew up with beagles and I always though we would get another one, but Caroline opened up us to considering other breeds.
Then when Matt's parents lost their dog and starting looking for a new one, we started considering a puppy from the same litter. They had interviewed the breeder and meet the three girls of the litter.
When they sent pictures, we all feel in love...especially with the blue collar dog!
Matt and I talked and decided to ask to meet the two that his parents didn't pick. The breeder drove over a hour to meet us at a local restaurant and we instantly feel in love and knew that "blue collar" would make us a Party of Five!!
