Bebe joined our family via Jenn when she lived in Texas. Bebe was maybe two years old, had already had two litters of puppies, was underfed, skinny and skittish. Jenn found her at a shelter, took one look and knew this was the dog for her. Bebe took one look at Jenn and knew this was the love of her life. They were a perfect match.
A Pitbull mix. Dispel all the negative thoughts you might have about Pitbulls. Bebe was the antithesis of every one of those negative thoughts. She was gentle and happy and sensitive, playful and as cunning as a coyote. Bebe was good at the long con: look sad, turn your head away from the treat being offered and !!! More treats would appear! But a harsh word would make her put her tail between her legs and creep away, afraid she let you down.
Jenn and Bebe shared many homes, careers, friends, backyards, glasses of champagne and treats. Bebe was up for whatever was next. She was a protector of kittens, small puppies and very young children. She loved a party, she was the perfect hostess. If someone came knocking at the door, Bebe was quicker than a doorbell to alert you that someone had arrived. She loved walks, romps and most of all, just sitting on the couch, cuddling. Bebe was the Queen of Cuddles.
Take Bebe to the beach and she was ecstatic! So much room to run, so many smells, so much love in the air. At this moment, I am sure she is on a beach with her dog pals, digging holes in the sand and basking in the sun. Bebe knew how to make a day at the beach the best adventure ever, rain or shine.
There are so many who loved her, so many who will miss her and so many who have great stories to tell about her. Bebe made people happy, that was her greatest gift. She was ruthlessly charming: it was impossible to know her without having a crush on her. She knew how to get into your heart and she knew how to stay there.
We all miss you, Bebe. Carry on, my friend.
