Posts like this one that share the deep emotion of a beloved dog and its owner are rare...thank you for being so honest and allowing us in. <br /> <br />Yes, each and every day with our animals is precious - and it's good to live each one to the Max. You obviously share the same sentiment as me.<br /><br />I wish you both many, many years of fun and companionship. Congratulations of what you have done for Calhoun. That type of dedication is seldom found. I salute you!<br /><br />Sending lotsaluv<br />MAXMOM IN SOUTH AFRICAMaxmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03352085013260757004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010530863974422559.post-22467387466758631982011-01-25T09:13:24.884-05:002011-01-25T09:13:24.884-05:00This is such a sweet story.

It's wonderful for both of you that you appreciate him now, every day, without waiting until he is old or gets sick. This way, many fewer regrets and much more happiness for you both.

(Oh dear - a marathon comment here) Are you visiting with Calhoun now? I bet when people see him coming they just break into big smiles. I just love his face and that wedding pic of you and Calhoun is just priceless.<br /><br />As I read about his life and both of your accomplishments with him, I was reminded so much of me and Shiloh. I am physically disabled and my balance is far from the best altho I can walk decently. I got Shiloh as a small 10-pound puppy at 8 weeks - it wasn't long before he left that small size behind and grew into 16 and a half inch Beagle before he was 10 months - he is also very stocky - both of which is not the usual Beagle (he is purebred tho). Anyway, I even had a trainer - as well as my sis - tell me that maybe I should consider getting a different and smaller dog - that was after our first couple of obedience classes when he was just 4 months old - probably at least 14 inches and 30 pounds (not overweight just big-boned). But after transferring obedience training to Petsmart, plus my stubborness to "get it" plus his growing up and maturing, he too earned his CGC and is now beginning his 6th year as a therapy dog. Shiloh will be 8 this March yes, his muzzle is gray - in fact it has been for at least 3 - 4 years. My other Beagle - Shasta - just turned 4 this past October and already her muzzle has whitened and now spreading around her eyes and the rest of her face. Shasta is a momma's baby but Shiloh will always hold a special place in my heart - proud of him? That's an understatement. :) You have every reason to be proud of what you both have accomplished!The Ladies of Beaglebratz Manorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04638795495731707051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010530863974422559.post-67430979104223927512011-01-20T17:39:26.127-05:002011-01-20T17:39:26.127-05:00Calhoun is such a handsome boy!
