Happy 15th Birthday Belle!!!!

Our precious dog, Belle, is 15 today!! Can that be possible??? Let's see that is 105in doggie years. That ain't old is it?? We also need to give a shout out to, Gage, her sister who resides at the Connell household up Highway 49 in Clarksdale. Belle has lived a long good life I must say. She lived out our college and grad/law school years with us at Oak Grove in Oxford and then ventured WAYYYYYYYYY south to Miami for a year of tax school. She went too of course. I can still picture her peaking through the blinds of our apartment in Coral Gables just waiting for us to come home. She has been the best dog, both as a hunter and family member, we could have ever wished for. She has outlived many of her pups and siblings and suffered through severe hip dysplasia and pain but still musters on with a good wag of her tail. Which by the way is almost beaver like it's so thick. I hope she hangs in there a few more years but if it's her time to go soon she has surely lived beyond our wildest expectations. Here's to you Belle!! Cheers!! We love you and you will never be forgotten.
