Brooke Beagle 9/18/89-6/4/04
Someone said that Brooke's heart, even though she was a beagle, was closest to a basset. Brooke might not agree with that, she always thought bassets were "special needs" beagles. She was a gracious hostess for numerous foster bassets who came to live in her home. She taught each one that there were rules, and some were her rules, and some were just life rules. She was intent on seeing that each basset learned them before they went along to a forever home. That was part of her legacy. One of her enduring ways of teaching her fosters was by tugging on their ears, especially around mealtime. I will always remember that about her, and miss her sweet kisses the most. You are my heart, Brooke. You have been, from the first moment I held you, and will be forever. I love you, Momma Wen
