Our Abbie
Sweet dog :)
The Burleigh family came to a very difficult decision this week. We decided that Abbie needed a new home. Brian and I have had Abbie, our beagle since she was 10 weeks old (now 3 1/2 years old) and although she was a loving dog and wonderful with kids, we decided she needed more than we were able to give her right now. First of all, since we moved back from Texas, we have not been living in an ideal situation for her and not having a fenced backyard has been difficult to give her the proper exercise she deserves. It would be different if it were spring or summer and not so cold out, but it is very hard to pack up the girls and take Abbie for a walk. Not to mention our upstairs neighbor complains if she makes a peep and well, we all know beagles howl!
We put an ad on Craiglist and found a couple who was looking for a beagle for their dad who recently lost his beagle mix. They live in the Olympic Peninsula in Washington on a farm and the couple has 2 dog for her to play with. Even though it was extremely hard for us to do, I believe it is the best decision and that she is going to a great home!

I know it was a really hard decision. Will they send you updates? Did they seem as nice as their email? We will all miss Abbie. :)
It sounds like you found someone perfect for Abbie. Take comfort in that.
Oh, I'm so sorry that you had to get rid of her. Nigel and I are in the same place right now with our dog. He's a big dog and he's not getting enough exercise or attention right now, and it's certainly not going to get better any time soon. You just have to remember that it is probably what was best for Abbie.
