  1. Beautiful little beagle! Good post, and may she find the best of homes. I was struck, however, by the sentence, “We are all lucky that our former family took us to the nearest animal shelter instead of just letting us go off ….” Wouldn’t “we” have been luckier if our former family had given “us” the basic treatment to prevent heartworms so that “our” body would not have been damaged by this potentially deadly disease or had to endure the painful treatment to cure it? Wouldn’t “we” have been luckier if our former family had, after finding “us” no good at hunting, given “us” a good indoor home with nutritious food and care, as well as regular vet visits? As someone who has gladly taken in a number of old beagles abandoned on the road or brought to my house by a third-party rescuer, I can truly say that all had experienced some kind of neglect, and all needed expensive vetting. I have nothing but contempt for the low-class former owners of this dog, who obviously used her up and then wanted only to get rid of her. There’s no need to gild this rather shabby lily.
