Re: [pyrnet] Re: Beau the leaking puppy...
Yes, I as yet have not written anything personally for Meka and so found those poems and stories with credits....they are beautiful and reflect my feelings.
There was a miniature Dachshund puppy, I believe, at our first show a few years ago. This little dog was about the size (length, not width) of Rajah's head (she was almost three years) and they just bounced around like they were old buddies. I was a little afraid Raj would land on her but the little dog and her owners were fine. :-D
The original story of Belle and Sebastian, I believe, was a book....will have to look up the authors name again. It was then a live action series in France in the "50's" I'm pretty sure with the author's son, I believe playing Sebastian. In the early eighties, the cartoon series was made in Japan and about 1984 (give or take) was out on the station Nickelodeon where I watched it. I taped some of the episodes and have tried finding the whole series to purchase but saw something that it had never been released to the public.
I've considered trying to contact Nickelodeon and the place that created the series as I'm sure there are plenty of Pyr people who would be willing to buy it.
I've seen the live action series available on tape at the GPCA National but apparently it's in European format and cannot be played on our VCRs.
That's O.K. though, someday I'll go to France and hopefully get to see it. :-D Maybe we can get it in US form someday too.

Chrissy, thanks for your insight. I had visited your website for Meka weeks ago, shortly after I got Beau, and your tragic experience has stuck in my mind. I was particularly moved by the poem,
"FROM FRIEND TO FRIEND." What a wonderful tribute that is. That brought tears to my eyes. I have been pleasantly surprised in the month and a half we have had Beau by the many shapes, sizes and ages of dogs he has been exposed to in our attempts to socialize him. So far, the dogs themselves have seemed to adjust to one another's size and age. Beau takes it easy on the 4 month old Boston Terrier that lives a couple of doors down. My sister just got an 8 week old Chocolate Lab, and her and Beau seemed to do fine, too. The Terrier and the Lab probably weigh about 10 pounds, and Beau seems to take it easy on them. When Beau sees a bigger dog, he acts like he is over 100 pounds, but fortunately the bigger dogs seem to make allowances for him.
There was something else on your Pyr Info page that aroused my curiosity, and I have been meaning to ask you about it since I first saw it.
You wrote,
"I first fell in love with the breed at the age of five. That's when I began watching the animated version of Belle and Sebastian. Belle, being a beautiful Great Pyrenees with a noble and courageous heart, willing to do anything for the boy she loved....Sebastian, captured my imagination. Everyday I would come home from school, sit in front of the TV and eat supper while I watched Belle, Sebastian and Poochie (the little dog) in their dramatic adventures."
I had never heard of "Belle and Sebastian," but after reading your reference to it, became very curious. I searched on the Internet, but didn't find anything that seemed to relate to what you were describing. Was this a movie or a series? I would love to learn more about it, and possibly share it with my children if it is still available in some form. Any light you can shed on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Frank & the rest of Beau's family
