Cookie and Leo, the Wonder Beagles
With their hearty voices and clear intentions, beagles are truly the "communicators" of the canine world.
In 1994, the first, glorious little hound entered my life. Cookie the Beagle was an amazing soul, and was one of
my greatest role models for love and personal authenticity. You always knew what was on her mind, and what
she wanted, whether it was a walk, a nap, a treat, or a comfy blanket. After a valiant struggle against cancer
and kidney disease, Cookie passed in August 2007. She will never be forgotten. In honor of her memory and all
that she brought to my life, I adopted a new beagle puppy named Leo, who recently celebrated his first birthday.
As personalities go, Leo and Cookie are vastly different; Leo's a rescue, and his lessons for me have been
primarily about living life with pure exuberance and joy. Click here to see photos of Cookie and Leo.
