A farewell post to a good dog.
Dec 4th, 2006 by jbloom
As is the way of all things, Baggins my Basset Hound has left this mortal coil. He lived many good years North of Boston in Marblehead and Danvers, MA.
He took many trips around the Northeast charming hearts wherever he went. Many times he went to sea and made the journey to Nantucket or Martha’s Vineyard. He took trips north and went up to Jackson, NH where he encountered a Bull in the pasture and I thought that might have been the end of him right there. During that same trip Baggins watched puzzled as I and some friends carried an old Golden Retriever off the mountain on a makeshift stretcher. Of course once we reached the bottom, the Golden got up and walked back to his car.
Baggins knew he was faking it.
He was a good dog.
I’ve posted this over at FluidImagination as well, since more readers there knew the Baggins.
Take a look at the comments for remembrances of the Baggins.
