Heaven gained another good boy on Sunday 💔
Beau and I worked together for 7 years but I’d say we were only friends for about 6 years 🙃 He was slow to bond to me and very difficult to impress but after a solid year of walking him, he opened up and let me get to know him better.
I’ve learned it’s a mortal sin to call an animal stubborn but… Beau was stubborn as hell. 😇
And it didn’t make me love him any less.
It’s like he had an itinerary in his head for our adventures and if I deviated from his plan, he would protest every step of the way. I eventually got better at reading his signals and he improved on meeting me in the middle.
When I first met Beau, he was a bruiser!
He started fights, he ended fights, he joined fights he had no reason to be involved with. As the years went on, I got to watch him soften into a confident leader who leaned into his goofy side and only channeled his bruiser energy when absolutely necessary.
Beau spent his 11 years being the center of his owners’ universe and he couldn’t have had better advocates as he navigated some pretty scary health changes over the last couple years.
Beau was so deeply loved by so many people and dogs. Louie was one of Beau’s biggest fans and I can’t help but smile thinking about all the trouble they’re getting into somewhere.
Rest easy, Bee-Beau ❤️🩹
