My little Sissy girl.  What can I say, everyone loves Sissy May!  She is a doll of a Beagle.  She has that 'puppy dog look' perfected, hands down.  Sissy has been with me through a lot in my life.  She's comforted me, loved me, put all of her trust in me, and made me feel that I would never be alone again.  Sissy came a long way from her early days, in which she lived outdoors in a rabbit hutch, having litter after litter, suffering from food and environmental allergies on top of everything else, until I rescued her.  She was almost two years old then, and had had no training, no attention, and no love.  If you've had a Beagle, you know what a challenge they are to train.  In Sissy's situation (given her history), it was a nightmare.  However, we got through it, and got through it well.  Now, at nearly 12 years old, Sissy is such a happy, healthy, spunky Beagle that most people think she's a much younger dog.
