Beaudreax died Oct. 1, 2009Beaudreaux was my very first rescue after losing my Lil Bit. Over the past 6 months his health has been going down hill. During the early morning hours of Oct 1st Beaudreaux had a stoke and had to be put to sleep that morning. My heart is broken. Beau was a special little boy who brought so much into my life. Although I have other rescues in my home Beau holds a special place that none can fill. Losing my Beau is like losing my Lil Bit all over again. Beau could have his little attitude but that was one of the things that was so special about him. He loved strutting his stuff when he was groomed but hated going to the groomer. He loved having his neck kissed but refused to give kisses. He didn't like toys much because he thought he was to good for that but loved sitting in your lap for hours and hours. On road trips he thought he was supposed to assist you in the driving and would he would his paws on the wheel like he was the driver. Beau and I were in constant competition to see who was leader of the pact and sometimes I would actually win. We lost a member of our pact that day and I will miss that little nub wagging at me. Beau was part of my shadow. It is a very sad day and will be for some time. Beau is buried beside our Glory girl and our Hope next to the beautiful Jasmine bush.Thank you Sharon for rescuing this special little boy all those years ago. He bought so much love, joy, happiness and yes sometimes frustration into my life and I loved him with all my heart and I wouldn't change a thing.Below is what the rescuer wrote when I adopted Beau from her 7 years ago.
Beaudreaux
Beaudreaux was a 9 year old male poodle who was surrendered by his owner because he "didn't get along with my 10 month old granddaughter." This poor little guy was traumatized by a move into a foster home with larger dogs. He turned out to have chronic allergies, resulting in a painful ear infection. And, it was becoming increasingly clear that at 9, although that is not very old for a poodle, it was going to be difficult to find him a new home. Beaudreaux was so unhappy about losing the only home he had ever known that he started developing behavior problems. And, then, POTL was contacted by an angel, Marilyn Broadaway.Marilyn had just lost her 8 year old poodle to leukemia and she was touched by Beaudreaux's picture and story on our website. Although she had other dogs, Marilyn just had to have another poodle. We wondered if Beaudreaux would act out during the home visit but he walked in the door, flew to Marilyn's lap and stayed there. Marilyn reports that Beau is doing beautifully. She has conquered his allergy problems and he loves his new home. For proof, here is a picture of Marilyn and Beaudreaux. Now that is one happy little camper! Thanks, Marilyn and Robert, for having room in your hearts and home for Beaudreaux.
