Our wonderful beagle, Jello, was born on the Winter Solstice eleven years ago. She came to live with us when she was four. The young man who gave her to us had her papers from Maryland, so we know her birthday and that originally she was named Blue, likely due to her blue-tick coloring.

In our seven years together, Jello has been my constant companion on walks and adventures. She is as sweet and smart in equal portions as any dog I’ve known. Often in my blog posts, I’ve featured a photo of her, and today I’m choosing to give her the spotlight – center stage!

Among her favorite activities are running free and sniffing – always that nose is busy!


When riding in the truck, instead of settling in for a nap, Jello likes to watch the world go by out the window. She knows when we’re going to the beach, and savors big whiffs of the salty ocean air, as we pass through Astoria!

Taking me for a walk every day is her one job, and Jello is very conscientious about this duty!

Although fishing is “not her thing,” being with me wherever I go is a must.



After all the activity (and sometimes right in the middle of it!) another of Jello’s favorite things is snoozing – or as we call it – snooze cruising. 🙂

Good dog. Nice work.
She’s a sweetie for sure!
SUPERB post. Looks like a great, great dog and companion. Well done.
Thanks, John. She is very photogenic. At first she didn’t like me taking pictures of her, but over the years she’s learned to ignore it!
Awwww….what a sweetheart Jello is! There is nothing better than a faithful four-legged friend. Lucky you Lindy, and Lucky Jello!!!
Thank you, Tina. She is a charmer for sure!
Hello, Jello! What a nice life you have. 🙂 Greetings from your friend in Tuscany, Manja’s bestia 🙂 (I often feature my dog on my blog as well.)
Thanks Manja!
Oh, this is a treat to any dog lover – and Milo says woooff and sends his most velvety eyes…♥
Jello sends a woof to you and Milo too!
Our Junior is your Jello. They are such loving, wonderful companions and we are so blessed to have them.
