Cookiebaker,
Looks like you found yourself a keeper.:) Mr. Bigs is a real
cutie.:D Has he seen the Vet yet? Maybe he could get something for the itching. I love Beagles too & love his colors. :)

Welcome Mr. Biggs!!!!!!!
Can't wait till after grooming pics....Maybe they'll have a Non Allergenic shampoo that they can use!!!
Good Luck Tomorrow...
Thank Malone for His Patience....Things will quiet down Soon...After everybody gets used to each other!!!!!;) :) :D
Oh Anna how sweet! He is adorable. I am hoping that Malone, Marigold and Willow will enjoy him more in the days to come. What a double blessing that he seems to be housebroken! :) One of my neighbors found a white german shepherd hanging around her house one day. She put up signs, etc. but no one claimed him. She named him Drifter! :) Mr. Beagley sounds perfect. Welcome to Pet Talk Mr. Biggs! ;)
Couple more pictures....

For the FIRST time, he has settled down outside of his kennel. I think this is a BIG improvement!!! Last evening, he ran in a frenzy around in circles. Tonight he was walking, and hardly panting. But then, he curled up with a bone, and layed down.
Malone is being SO patient. What a good boy he is! I am so proud of him. He's giving Biggs his space and trying very hard not to provoke him.
Liz, I will be making a vet appointment on Monday. Mark thought it best if we wait a couple of days to make sure he isn't claimed.
AWW! Bigs is sooooo cuteeee! I can't believe i didn't come and see this! ACK!
What a cutie..
That was well worth the wait ;)
Aww, Biggs is so cute :)
He's really cute. I love the name Biggs. :)
What a cutie!!! I hope that you guys are able to keep him..it soundslike he is fitting in pretty well :)
Guess it wasn't meant to be, after all. We found out who the owners are. I'm glad for their sakes, and I'm happy for Biggs' sake; but disappointed that it wasn't meant to be. :(:(:(
I'm sorry....was Biggs happy to see the owners? Were they really happy? If not, you should give them your number and tell them that if they decide they don't want him that you'll take him. How long had he been gone?
Awww:(
I hope his owners take good care of him.
Yours will come along.
Anna - I'm so sorry :( Hopefully the owners will treat him well and he won't' get lost again.
I do think this experience was a sign that you guys are ready for another doggie though :)
So Mr. Biggs is back home now. His owner is an elderly farmer, and it is actually at the farm where we buy hay for Willow. They were very glad to see each other. His real name is Billy, which is probably explains why he responded to "Biggs" so quickly because they sound very much alike.
OK. Here's the exciting part. This is soo weird!! :eek: And it's so complicated, I hope I can explain how it has all come about.
Remember how I said that we had a grooming appointment for him today? Well I called up to cancel it, and in the conversation Evelyn (our trainer) told me about a chocolate labbie that they have for adoption. He was found two weeks ago, and nobody has claimed him. We went to check him out, but I really don't think it would work out. He is dog aggressive (spec. male dogs), huge, and totally not trained. He's about 135 pounds and out of control. So if he and Malone ever got into a fight or something, I'm afraid it would be disastrous. Both Mark & I agreed that it just wouldn't work. :(
Evelyn saw how disappointed we were, and told us about ANOTHER dog that she has. It's an 8 month old black labbie boy, who is very shy & submissive, and needs some socialization. She said that she was going to try and show him, but that wasn't going to work because he is too submissive. :mad: :mad: :mad: (DON'T GET ME STARTED!!!) The good news is that she said we could have him if we paid to have him neutered!
We are going to check him out in 45 minutes. I'm trying to not get too excited about it, but to think realistically about it. So please pray that we will make the right decision, and that everything will work out the way it is supposed to!!!
Oh, im sorry about biggs! :(
But im very happy for you about the choc. lab! *Crosses Fingers*
Just catching up to this thread and Biggs has been claimed! Sounds as if it is a happy ending for him and his owner though. :D
Good luck with the black labbie! Fingers crossed it works out.:)
Anna! I have a special feeling about the black labbie! I think this may be your dog. I am at the edge of my seat with anticipation! PLEASE tell us as soon as you know anything! You deserve to have a second dog who needs you as much as you need him. You guys are great parents and Malone will be a great big brother! I hope it works out for you guys!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! PUPPPPPPY!!!!
We went to see about this black labbie, and IMMEDIATELY we knew this was the right thing!! She gave him to us for FREE just so that he would have a good home. Her only request is that after we decide that this is going to work for us long term, that we have him neutered (which is an "of course!!") He is quite shy and timid. It takes him about 3 minutes to get used to a new concept (as in getting in the car, getting out, up the front stairs, up the back stairs, in a new room etc.)
He is soooo loveable!! He is calm and just wants to be petted.
AAACK! I'm in love!!
I will be posting pictures as soon as I take some.
We have named him Emerson.
Welcome home, Emmers, Black labbie boy.
CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!
WELCOME TO PET TALK, EMERSON!!!
YAAAAAAAY!
Thank you, Aly You have no idea how much this means to me. :o :) :smiley with happy tear in his eye: :DQuote:

I'm crying like a baby! I am so happy for you all!
I know your love will turn Emerson around and make him the socialized, happy boy that Malone is. Their names go so well together. I bet they look wonderful together too. Have they met yet? What about Marigold and Willow?
Get your hiney off the computer and take some pictures for us!
Bless sweet Billy for helping fate and uniting Anna and Mark with their perfect match, Emerson.
Congratulations! I can't wait to see pictures! :)
So did you ever find out how long mr. biggs was running around and how he got to the place he was in the 1st place? How far was he from home? You sound like you are ok with giving him back to the owner so I assume all was a freaky incident and mr. biggs will never get loose like that again?!
Looking forward to black lab photos- hope the dog-aggesive lab finds himself a home!
Wow, what a story this has turned out to be. I'm so happy for you!! I bet Emerson and Malone will be the best buds ever. I can't wait to see pictures. Hurry hurry!!
congrats on the new doggie! can't wait to see pics!!!:D :D :D
That's wonderful!! :) :) Congratulations!!!:) :)
I'm so happy for you!:)
I think it's funny that you found a lost beagle and ended up adopting a labbie brother for Malone.
I can't wait to see photos!
I hope Emerson gets along well with Malone, Marigold and Willow.
(Won't Sasvermont be surprised that you brought home a new pet today before she did!);)
W:eek:W, Anna! I just saw this thread! Welcome to Pet Talk, Emerson!:) I am glad to see another labbie in the family! Now you have have a black labbie, I have a black labbie, you have a yellow labbie, and I have a yellow labbie!:p
Congratulations! I am so happy for you! I can't wait to see the pictures!
*hugs to your whole family*
:)
OK, I got a couple of pictures that came out good. Because he is so dark I had to use the flash, so I will take some more in the daytime so I don't have to use the flash (I don't like to unless absolutely necessary).

OMG he is ADORABLE!!!!!!:D
This is a great story. I'm so happy this roller coaster ride has ended on a real high!!
Welcome to PT Emerson - you cutie!!
Mr. Biggs escaped the same morning that we found him. Also, the farm is about a mile from us, but on a very busy street - 50 miles per hour :eek: I cringe to think what might have happened.Quote:

So I just got home from work,I went straight to Pet Talk to See How Mr.Biggs was doing...I went straight to Last Page...think of my surprise when I saw this Beautiful Black Labby Photo!!! (Thats' Some Grooming Job,Mr.Biggs!!!)
So I had to go back and Reread the whole thing!!!!!!
Congratulations on Rescuing and Caring for Mr.Biggs...And Now Look at what The Big Dog Upstairs Rewarded you with....Emerson!!!!!!
He is Stunning...Look at that Coat!!!!!!
I am Glad that Alls' Well That Ends Well!!!!
Hugs & Treats!!!
What a great ending to your story! Although it is really just a beginning. Emerson is really cute! I am so jealous but just keep remembering five dogs is enough, five dogs is enough, five dogs with one person taking care of them is enough, five dogs with their daddy in Florida is enough.......
OMG!! how cute!?! Look at that face! Doesn`t it make you a little happy that biggs` owner came to get him? Emerson is so cute!
OMG!!!
Little Emmers is adorable!!!!!!
What a sweet face he has!!!!
I hope he and Malone get along well--I bet Malone will be such a great big brother!!!!!!!!!
