This is lil' bro. We got him when he was nearly 2 from the Humane Society. Sam picked him out. I probably would've over-looked him because he wasn't a real Beagle with three colors in his fur. I would've been an idiot. This guy is funny. We bust his chops once in awhile because his name when we picked him up was Mittens. We changed it because he was a little dog that we got to be buddies with our big dog named Java! He's going to be 11 this year and he's in pretty good shape. We have to watch his weight for him, which doesn't please him, but we hope its helping keep him healthy. He's pretty content and comfortable just being outside and being himself. He also loves sniffin'.Photograph by Richard Sayer
