Happy Tails -- Hope




We recently celebrated the one year anniversary of Hope's adoption day.

We can still hardly believe how lucky we are to have such a wonderful pup. We're so happy that she chose us (at our initial meeting she charged over to say "hi" before it was even her turn to meet us)!

Thanks to some basic obedience lessons from Greg at Gateway Dog Training, she has matured a lot in the last year. During this time Hope has shown an affinity for swimming, but it wasn't until Greg told us that he taught her how to swim that we realized she didn't really know how.

Wherever she goes, people are always sad to see her leave and often ask to take her home with them! Our two cats have clearly established a pecking order and Hope is at the bottom! She is wonderful with our niece and two nephews, who she visits quite often. They roll on her, give her commands, pull, poke and all other things that kids do. Hope takes it all in stride and readily comes back for more!

We can't believe that it's already been a year since Hope joined our family and can't imagine our life without her. Thanks HOTLab for rescuing this wonderful dog so that she could become a member of our family!

Wasn't that a nice update? Remember Save a Life and your life will forever be saved. www.hotlabrescue.org

Happy Tails -- Maya



Ms. Maya has been with us for one whole year now.....and she is still a joy. When she first came to us, she thought that she was the "Diva" of the household - trying to get anything that she wanted (like my sweet potato) off the counter, or the pizza from Austin's Pizza, or the garlic bread. The list goes on and on with all those events lasting for about 2 weeks. Then came a lot of time outs. Looking back, we would not trade her in for anything. We are so grateful and blessed to have Maya aa a part of the Beechum Family.

The hubby and Maya share carrots/tricks (which he loves to see her do), plus, he makes sure that the kids are being very caring and loving with her. Earl hates when my youngest(Aliya)is playing with her way to rough. We take walks every single morning (just Angela/ Maya time) and when the weather is cool I run with her, but only once a week as she really doesn't like running that much. She will play in the backyard on the trampoline with the kids. The little old lady next door to us scared the heck out of Maya in the beginning, but they quickly formed a bond. Unfortunately, she moved away recently and Maya has been missing her. I have many, many stories about her every single day. She has really calmed down a lot and now lets me run the household; she's just there to make sure that everyone is doing what they need to be doing.
