Wilson was an "awesome" dog.  He had the longest ears for a beagle, and was often thought to be part basset.  We sometimes referred to him as a "bagel" part basset part beagle, although the papers say otherwise.  He was deffinitely "my" dog.  He told me when to go to bed, and at 50yrs. old, I went when I was told.  If I got up for any reason, it wouldn't be long before he came looking for me.  Nothing could get past him.  He is missed by his dog friends, Spencer, Casey and Specks.  And he is missed by me.  He had a favorite quilt, which he slept with every night, and he has taken it with him. He had a couple of nicknames....Willie, Wilbur, and Bonz......not sure how he got the name Bonz, he was not a skinny dog by any means.....Miss you "Willie"
