A little over 5.5 years ago, this cute little 11-year-old beagle popped into the Texas animal shelter on the day I was volunteering. With kennel cough, heartworm, and a gimpy leg, she was not in good shape. I called my husband immediately and told him. ‘Bring her home,’ he said. That was the beginning of the most incredible five years with our sissy girl. Our Teeter, our Tate, our Squishy. She made us laugh until literally the very end. Though her body is no longer with us, her pure, beautiful soul lives on, watching over those she loved so deeply. Tessa, you are our angel. One last time: One, Two, Freeeee! We love you eternally.
