  The Stories that Shape Us
  We're BIG on beagles. No doubt about that. But we're also pretty darn BIG on people. The people who support us through
  thick and thin --- our Friends & Donors, our Veterinarians, our Foster Families, and our Adopters.
  As we all found ourselves navigating our way through the worldwide
  crisis of a Pandemic none of us will ever forget, our incredible supporters somehow stuck with us. We will always be thankful
  to you for that. And even now that the worst of it is behind us, we still get caught up in the rollercoaster that is life,
  don't we? Let's slow the rollercoaster ride down for a moment and reflect on what really matters. LOVE. In good times and
  bad, it sees us through. It shapes us.
  so important to us that we shine the light on folks that inspire us and remind us of just why we should keep doing what we
  do. Here's just one story of LOVE that has helped shape this little Beagle Repair Shop.
  We received this beautiful letter just before Christmas in that first mind-boggling
  year of the Pandemic from a Family that embraced a few of our precious BOB beagles over the years. If only every broken beagle could
  know a Family like this... Vincent and Teddy The Story of Vincent Priceless Vincent Priceless joined our family in the spring of 2008. We
  know very little of Vincent’s earliest days, except that he was born in Ohio, somehow ended up at Toronto Animal Services,
  adopted out, returned after one day (because he cried through the fence to meet the neighbouring dog), deemed as ‘unadoptable’
  for this, all by the age of one. Luckily for him, Big On Beagles (BOB) came to his rescue. He was lovingly fostered
  by BOB angels, Guy and Leanne, and their bevy of hounds. I remember
  his first visit to our home. He was small and reserved, but curious. He had big brown eyes, a bushy fox tail and
  fur as soft as angora. During a trial walk, he started braying at the ground. It was at that moment we knew he was the
  soulmate to our basset-beagle boy Ted (another BOB beagle formerly named Vincent). A few weeks later, Vincent moved in (complete with almond treats supplied by foster dad, Guy). He
  became the classic second half of ‘the heir and the spare’, often looking to his older beagle-basset brother to
  be told what to do and how to do it. The two continued to track scents together while honking loudly, oblivious to the amusement
  of passersby, earning the nicknames “donkey and chicken”. We waited patiently with hope to meet the ‘real’ Vincent. His pure ‘joie de vivre’ blossomed
  one day; ears flapping wildly up and down as he ran full speed chasing my daughter and her friends during a game of ultimate
  frisbee. There he was! Vincent thrived and bonded with us all, but mostly
  with Ted. Over the decade they were together, it was not unusual to find the two crammed into one little dog bed. You
  rarely ever found one without the other. In 2017, Vincent was diagnosed with
  megaesophagus. This condition disabled his ability to keep food down and enabled the regurgitated food to travel into
  his lungs, causing what is known as aspiration pneumonia. Left untreated, the pneumonia is fatal. With no known
  cure, the prognosis with daily feeding intervention was about one year. We prepared ourselves and set out to make the
  most of the next twelve months, fully aware that his next bout of pneumonia could very well be his last. Thank goodness
  Vincent loved food enough to get him into his feeding box three times a day and tolerate sitting in an upright position for
  gravity to help him out. During his mandatory 30 minutes, Vincent expected and demanded quality time with his humans.
  No cellphone use permitted. Less than full engagement was met with protesting howls. All was forgiven if singing, meaningful
  conversations and head rubs happened. Sadly, the box was no guarantee
  of a pneumonia-free existence. There was no telling how long he would go between episodes. Each time the pneumonia flattened
  him, and the first twenty-four hours were always a battle. To everyone’s amazement, he somehow managed to pull
  through and thrive. After countless recoveries, we started calling him the “Comeback Kid”. He
  even soldiered through a broken foot and the loss of his beloved Ted due to cancer in May 2018. In the end, it was kidney
  failure at the age of 14 and a half, that would be his “Waterloo”. He quietly stopped eating and let us
  know it was time for him to go on October 15, 2020. Vinnie Porkchop,
  we promised you we would say goodbye on your terms and be with you until your last breath. We will always love you dearly.
  Living years longer than your prognosis was truly a gift that we cherished every day. You were never a burden.
  You were a blessing. We will miss you dearly; your silly bark, your ability to love, your beautiful face, your soft
  ears. We hope you felt the love that your humans had for you. We pray that you are with Ted, ears flopping,
  noses snorting, honking away eating whatever you want. Your empty feeding
  box sits in the dining room, as we are not quite ready to let it go. It reminds us of your inspiring resilience, your
  never-failing determination and your strength. Your name is from the Latin word vincere, meaning to conquer.
  You were more than just ‘the spare’. You were the warrior, and despite your many battles, you conquered
  it all, Vincent. Until we meet again. Much love, Your furever family And when all hope had gone away On that rainy, rainy day We said goodbye; the hardest thing
  to do. But we could have told you, Vincent, This world was always meant
  For one as beautiful

  2020...it started out as the bright and hopeful beginning of a brand
  new decade for this little beagle repair shop. Over 20 years rescuing beagles and we're still here. And even though 2020 took
  a turn that nobody could have ever predicted, we are indeed still HERE. Because of YOU. Your continued faith and support in
  our work makes it possible for us to keep saving the lives of beagles in greatest need. Senior beagles, those with serious
  and chronic health issues, those in need of surgeries that are not within the budget of our animal shelters, and those suffering
  from physical and emotional trauma. You make it possible. You bring the wag back to their tails. Please help us keep our doors
  open as we set our sights on a future of endless possibilities! There are many options to your financial support for our beagles. You can make a gift to our beagles for
  yourself or in honour of a loved one for a special occasion. We'll send them a card on your behalf so they know the
  impact you've made in their name. You'll be making twice the difference for that special someone AND for a rescued beagle. Or, make a difference ALL year long. Join our family of Monthly BOBefactors
  by setting up a Monthly Gift for our Homeless Howlers. Your monthly gift of $10 or more really can
  make a difference for our beagles in need...one heartbeat at a time. But
  even if all you can do right now is cheer us on, we'll take it. You lift our spirits with every single kind word. On
  behalf of our beagle babies, THANK YOU. Wishing you good health and a positive spirit each and every day!
