RIP Hattie von und zu Hoelterhoff (2015-2022)

Celebrated beagle Hattie dies after a brief struggle with lymphoma.

As HH (Horrible Hattie) she was renowned for deflecting invading cats and men in uniform. We kept a drawer with twenty and fifty-dollar bills depending on the depth of the bite along with apologies she penned (oh ha) with her killer paws. 

Here’s one from the files:

 She fattened up and slowed down a bit this year which we blamed on her appetite for extras and boarding house reach. But she was plump because of a cancerous lump. Like all our beagles, Hattie was a shelter dog. She was also amusing, devoted and utterly lovable.
