Benji, I am so very glad that you are off the streets, as I am sure you are in such loving hands of your Mom. She saved you from the streets and in return you will be her loyal dog forever. You are a pretty dog, sorry about your ears but in a way they look very "perky" so try not to dwell on how you lost your beagle ears. Dogs are so forgiving, that is one of the many redeeming qualities you have! Rest well on your orthodpedic bed, you surely deserve it! Robin from Kansas, USA
