Missing some old Friends

This is BJ - short for Sweet BABY JANE (1989-2005) and Lucy (1996-2009)     I've had BJ since she was a Puppy and we bought Lucy in 2002 after she was retired by a Beagle breeder.  They both were great beagles in their own unique ways.  BJ was happy, and playful and Lucy was sweet, and gentle, a real Mama.  I remember when we brought my son home from the hospital, we put him down on the floor to let Lucy and BJ have a look.  Lucy's motherly instinct took over and she did not hesitate in trying, very gently, to pull Sam to her bed.  Once I explained that he was mine and not hers,  she never tried to take him away again but rather stayed by my side and would not let BJ anywhere near us, the only aggression she ever showed.    I miss my Beagles,  I'm welling up with tears right now...  BJ did not live long after my kids were born but Lucy quickly became their dog and they learned gentleness from her.

I miss my Beagles and one day we will get another dog and it will probably be a Beagle, in the meantime I will NOT watch Pick a Puppy  http://www.facebook.com/CMTPickAPuppy  and I will only visit http://www.beaglepaws.com/adoption.html once a every 3 months... there that should do it right?
We won't have a new family member this year will we?
