" 911 "

In my lifetime I have owned several dogs such as an Airedale, Chinese Pug,
a Golden Retriever, a German Shepherd, a Cocker Spaniel, an English Bulldog,
a Bassett, a Labrador, a Dachshund, a Collie, a Schnauzer and three of a
mixed breed. Each one of the dogs have been lovable and loyal to me. I have
loved them all in spite of their different dispositions.

Beaudreaux was SPECIAL to me and we had him for about 18 years. He was
a Chow & Airedale mix and very easy to train. He looked forward to my daily
coffee run to Hardees in my ‘50 Studebaker and would actually blow the car
horn if he felt that I stayed too long.

I posted the following in memory of ole Beaudreaux


'BEAUDREAUX' {02/12/1987 - 05/27/2005}

He was an Apostolc Church Dog - When asked " Beaudreaux, Would you
rather be Trinity or Dead" ? He Would Promptly Fall Over, Play Dead and
not get up until You Said "In Jesus Name" . You could ask him to Run For
Jesus and he would run in a circle, wide open, until you said AMEN -

He was the first to actually get baptized in the new baptistery. We had
just installed it and filled it with water someone let him in the Sanctuary.
He came running thru the Sanctuary wide open as usual and thru the open
door leading to te Baptistery, up the steps Straight Into The Baptistery
Before Anyone Could Catch Him. - LOL, I Pulled Him Out Of The Water
In Jesus Name.

Ole Beaudreaux departed from this life on the evening of my Father-in-law's
Funeral. Events During and After His Passing Brought Smiles And LaughterTo
Me and My Wife That Night in the time of her Bereavement .

I Miss Ole BEAUDREAUX Especially While
Bending Over Retrieving the Newspaper {That was his job}
Looking For My Shoes {he brought them to me}
Trying to get my wife's attention {he would tug the hem of her skirt}
Opening The Door Of The Car {he was always the first one in}

Thanks For Thinking Of Beaudreaux Today
Because HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST DOGS EVER !

Our beloved Beaudreaux was just over the age of 18 when he left us for
Doggie Heaven in May of '05 and we have now decided it was time for us
to get another dog to take his place -

BUT
It Had slipped my mind
Just How Lively A Puppy Could Be -

At 5:00 this morning he discovered how to get out of his bed crate
and get on top of it, then jump on to the night stand and from there
it was an easy leap thus landing on my head while I was asleep -
After completely waking me, he then turned his attentions on Lavelle
by attacking her hair as if it was alive and a large prey - It was hard
to gently disengage his teeth from her hair and not laugh
but "I Knew Better" {Some Things Are Best Just Being Left Alone}

Oh Yes, " JEDIDIAH The VIII " Is A Full Blooded 'WELSH TERRIER' -
{ The offspring of "TUFFY TOO" & "MATILDA" } Was Born "9 11 2008"

HAVE A BLESSED AND HAPPY NEW YEAR {we hope to survive}

The Hollands
