Our mascot, Artemis, the beagle who graciously posed in front of a computer (while my brother-in-law held peanut butter just out of camera range) died Friday after a long life.
In her later years, Artemis had grown senile and could barely function. My sister and brother-in-law cared for her long past the time others probably would have. Below is the altar they made for her:
Of course, Artie will live on both on our website, on our Facebook page and on Twitter. She was a sweetie. I will miss her.
Do you like this post?

RIP Artemis.
God’s angels never did have wings but four paws and a tail.
It imbued dogs with all life’s most important lessons for humans to strive for: endless love and loyalty, forgiveness for those that trespass against us, to not forget to stop and smell the roses (or fire hydrant); sleep and dream and enjoy the moment.
They guard over us while they live, are always a friend indeed and comfort us in memories when they’re gone.
Well done little dog. Well done.

Sometimes I wonder if Fox Spews watchers come by their natural lack of compassion from never having owned a dog.

Sorry to learn about Artemis. He was lucky to have such a loving home and they were lucky to have him. I’ll always look at your logo with new fondness.

I am very sorry to hear about Artemis’ passing. I am sure she was a lovely dog. I have always loved beagles, myself, and I am sure you folks do as well.

One of God’s cruellest jokes, in my humble. If he had half a heart, every child would be able to be issued with a puppy at birth and have it live with them right through a very long life.

Awww. Very sad, E. Non-dog people don’t understand how powerful the connection can be. Please pass my condolences on to Sis and Bro-in-law.
