By reading a German Forum I discovered that the two beagles that Snoopy was held with, have been set free and adopted by fantastic people. Feivel, Snoopies brother and Spike, were adopted last week and so ends an era of research beagles at a veterinary university in Munich.
For us, even more amazing, is that we have now the facts about poor Snoopy. We know where he was born, in a mass preduction kennels, churning out beagles for research, but alas the bad news is that we were told his wrong age. Yes, he was born in April but not on the 1st but the 27th, and not in 2001 but in 2000. This means Snoopy is a year older than we thought, and is now 8. Poor old lad.
Feivel and Spikes owners (veternary students) are coming to visit us soon, they want the 3 beagle boys to stay in contact. Both these women already have female rescue beagles, so the boys should be happy.
We were sad to find Snoopy older than we thought, but it doesnt really matter, we hope he still has many years to live.
All three have heart problems, but we have been assured that most dogs of their age have something similar. It shouldnt shorten their lives.
So this has been an exciting few days.
