Oh, be still my Beagle loving heart! What a cutie patootie, beautiful Beagle boy you are, Craig! Something about you Beagles that I find utterly irresistible, including but not limited to...your long, soft ears, that ever present smile, your sweet and loving personality, your unwavering loyalty and devotion, and of course, your unbridled energy and zest for life!

I'm so sorry for you daddy's heartache, having lost a long time love. But thanks to you and your healing powers, he's smiling and laughing and loving life again! And speaking of smiling and laughing, how great is that GoPro video! Hah!!! Oh, that was great, seeing you playing and running on the beach, splashing in the water, no doubt bringing so much joy and lightness to your daddy's day! I have to admit, when I first watched it I thought..."Wait, the steering wheel's on the wrong side!" Then I saw you two hailed from GB! Well, no doubt your daddy took the "right turn" the day he opened up his heart to another, and I have no doubt that you, Craig, will never let him down, that your love for him is unconditional and will never fade! How lucky your daddy is, Craig, having a best friend for life, a furry soul mate, in you! You're the Beagley bestest!

Thanks to your proud papa for sharing your adorable, sweet self with us, Craig! Meeting you two has truly brightened my gray and gloomy Sunday! Have a blast, guys, celebrating Craig's much deserved day of honor, and here's to many, many more wonderful years of shared love and devoted companionship!
(Love all the photos, but this one cracks me up! I've had more than a few of my own who have, for some reason, preferred to park but a part of their bods on the bed! Silly pups!)
