The Best Gift My Father Gave Me!
Here I am at age 7 with my first beagle, Thumper. While my mother and I were down in Georgia visiting my grandparents, my father made arrangements for me to have a beagle puppy. We flew back from Atlanta to Minneapolis, then Dad drove us out in the country where we picked up the cutest little thing. This picture was taken at the breeder's right when I got him. We had a four-hour drive back home, and I remember Thumper peeing, pooing, and puking all the way home. I treasure the memories!
