My fiance and I adopted a 9 week old beagle/terrier-basenji mix a little over a year ago. I'd been wanting a dog for so long, while my other half was a little nervous. That is, until he met her. He fell in love with her the moment he saw her. We watched her grow and learn so fast. She quickly became a part of the family and the center of attention.

Recently, he left us and broke up our little family. I felt so bad that our baby couldn't understand why her "dad" left and didn't come back. We were both so depressed. We stayed in bed for days, she didn't want to play. She just looked out the window all day. I thought we would be broken forever, but she brought me back up.

She was there through all the good and bad and it wasn't fair for her to keep having to suffer. So we leaned on each other and got back on our feet/paws.

Now, we go everywhere together. We sleep cuddled up together. We go through everything in life together.

She's always here for me and I am always here for her. My friends and family love her. She's my everything, and very spoiled, but so well behaved. I look forward to every new day waking up next to my dog, my daughter, my best friend, the love of my life.
