"There is honor in being a
dog." -Aristotle-
When we first adopted Winston (formerly known
as Rutherford to the Houston Hound and Beagle Rescue group) he would not even
walk through the front door of my house.
He had never been on wood floors and was truly scared to cross the
threshold of W 10th Street.
Brian and I had only been married a few months
and he was out of town in Australia. I
remember talking to him on the phone and Brian was like, “just adopt him, it’s
fine.” But I knew I wanted him to meet
Winston, as I did not want to make such a decision without Brian’s presence.
Well, needless to say, when Brian returned he
was all about adopting Winston. I knew
he would be, but did not want to make that decision without him. The night we adopted him we took him to
Discovery Green to see a Beatles concert performed by the Houston
Symphony. He was a mere 16 pounds and so
skittish (now a hefty 28lbs…still a bit skittish).
The funniest part of it all is that HH&B
told us Winston did not bark/howl.
Having had a beloved beagle as my childhood dog, I seriously thought
that Winston was horribly abused, as the concept of a mute beagle was far off.
Trust your intuition. All beagles howl and Winston is no exception.
