I didn’t have a dog growing up so the first thing I did when I moved out was get a dog! Bandit was my first dog, I got him 2 months after I moved out of my parents house. October 22, 2016, I went to a local adoption event wanting a girl dog but when I met him, he picked me! He had the prettiest brown eyes. He was a 1 year old “white beagle mix”. I of course did a DNA test, he was 3/4 beagle, 1/8 parson russell terrier and 1/8 papillon. 100% perfection with a little sass – just like me! We went everywhere together, he came to the flower shop I worked at, loved going on car rides listening to music, loved to sit out front with me and loved to take naps with me, he hated the pool but would get in with me if I held him. I met my husband and he had 2 dogs, which meant Bandit got 2 new brothers!! We went through A LOT together. He had heartworms, and HGE. He was with me when my husband went through Stage 4 Hodgins Lymphoma and I was there for Bandit when we found out he had stage 5 lymphoma in March 2025, the vet told us we had maybe a month if we didn’t do treatment and just kept him comfortable (hes scared to death of needles just like me) and he made it 2 months!! I miss him every day
