 " Dear Miss Christina & Christi, 
>To write this note to you is a hopefully the start of dreams coming true. Let me first say that I have been visiting your website for the past three months. Alone, I’ve spent hours reading and clicking on the pictures and also with my husband Tom. I am impressed with not only the thoroughness of your information, but the ease of realizing the strength of your convictions right off the pages. Kudos to you for knowing yourself and how you want your livelihood organized! 
>My name is Christy, and I am a stay at home mother of two children. Megan is 10, and Matthew, is 6. My husband Tom is my high school sweetheart that I have been happily married to for 20 years this June.  We are originally from Ormond Beach, Florida, but we’ve lived in Danville, Pennsylvania for the past 6 years after a quick year in Winston-Salem, NC. My husband is an Emergency Medicine Physician and the Director of The EM Residency Program here at Geisinger Medical Center. Our small town has a population of 5600. It’s quite a change from the heavily populated Florida that we grew up in! 
>My son Matthew started Kindergarten this year. He is a gentle & loving boy that still loves being a boy! His teacher passes out weekly behavior awards and the last one he received was for being a caring & kind friend. Another child in his class was having some behavior difficulties, and Matthew offered to sit with him at reading partner time. His teacher sent me a note thanking me for having such a considerate & thoughtful child! Not the story that you usually hear from toady’s educators. 

>My lovely daughter Megan will be 11 this summer. She is my creative animal lover. For her 7th birthday, without ANY prompting from us, she asked her birthday party guests to bring donations to our local no-kill shelter in lieu of presents for her. All she asked in return is a chance to play & visit the animals while the grownups unloaded the loot. She has participated in girl scouts for the last 5 years. This year the girls get to choose their own badge work. Her choice was to develop games to work at a dog rescue groups’ carnival. She has taken on the task of being our resident doggie expert. For the last 3 months, her library trips have included various how to & reference materials on everything dog!    
>And of course there is Tom & I. We had a wonderful dog, Zoey (a certified mutt) who died three months before Matthew was born. Just after we moved into our first home, Zoey came to us after being found by a neighbor in a tied garbage bag in a dumpster – thus the certification of being a dumpster mutt - J However, when she died, Tom was just getting started in his job, the hours were long, and I was alone a lot with two small kids. We were moving again in seven months and we just realized that adopting another dog right after Zoey passed wouldn’t be fair to anyone. And now its five years later…our kids are becoming more self sufficient and I have the time & energy to bring a new family member into our home. 

>Tom & I have always had a special fondness for Beagles. Not sure if it was their spunk, their eyes, or their sweetness, or maybe all three?  But every time we would talk about a beagle, or look up about the breed, the less desirable hunting traits would jump out at us. We had almost settled for a cocker spaniel or another house-loving breed when I stumbled onto your website. What a wonderful thing to find out – other people have the same thoughts & feelings as we do on the breed! We felt an immediate kindred sprit with the information that you presented." 

the three girls!

 " Ms. C & kids,
What a wonderful two days we have had with our new beagle baby! She is all you claimed she was and more! The first night in the hotel was tough for her and I will admit to a little extra comfort so that she wouldn't disturb any other guests. However, the next night at home we did just as you instructed and let her comfort herself. The second night, she only whimpered 10 minutes at 10pm before settling down. She did not make a peep until I came to get her at 6:30am. A couple of wee-wee spots on the puppy pad -not in her bed at all! Tonight, I'm sure she will improve yet again!

I just have to say again the difference between our pup's "hand raising" and the other new puppy stories out there. She wakes up, scampers to the pad, then sits and looks for you to pick her up for play time. We have taken her outside to our yard a few times (where no other dogs have ever been) and she loves it! Nose up, tail up, acting like such a big girl patrolling the yard.

I've attached a few homecoming pics for you to enjoy!

All our best to you, the kids & the other babies waiting for their forever home!
