We have selected here a baker’s dozen of photos (hover over a photo to see the caption, click to see full-size image) from the hundreds we have from her lifetime. She died October 4, 2007 after fourteen years of wonderful life with us.
Beta was the best dog we could have imagined. She was great with adults, kids, infants, and other animals. She would prefer to fetch a ball than be petted, but was wiling to put up with any attentions foisted upon her. She loved to travel in the car, always happy to be on another adventure. She loved to swim and to play in the snow – she always became a puppy again at each snowfall. She also liked to ride in boats. Generally, if we were doing something, she wanted to be included.
If you want more pictures than these, you can find them on picasaweb.
There are also three movies of Beta posted on google video and youtube:
- 2002 – Beta plays in the snow at Bowman School
- 2003 – Beta streaks like a puppy in the snow at 1 Moon Hill
- 2007 – Beta walks at Upper Buttermilk State Park with braces to help her knees.

We will miss Beta terribly.
