Having grown up with poodles and never knowing any beagles, for some reason when it was time for me to get a dog, I knew I wanted a beagle. Maybe it was my love of Snoopy, who by the way doesn’t even look like a beagle!

Midwest BREW brought Twiggy into my life on March 28, 2009. Twiggy was sweet and sassy and loved just about every person and dog she met. She was a character who brought so much joy and laughter to me and everyone around her. She loved to hide rawhide bones in the couch, roll on her back and was obsessed with all food and treats, especially greenies. She was the unofficial “greeter” in my condo building and loved getting attention from friends and neighbors.

Twiggy had heart issues, which unfortunately took her life on April 14, 2021.

Her passing has left a hole in my heart but I’m grateful to have had 12 years with her. She was a special little girl who touched so many and I will miss her every day.
