Beatrix Gearhart

Beatrix the Rottweiler, I mean Poodle (age 13 1/2). This is the kind of lady you want to have your back. A fierce and devoted protector. She never failed to keep us safe from the dogs and dancing M & M’s on the television (watching TV was one of her favorite past times). Unfortunately she was terrified of lawn ornaments and loud noises, so there is a trade off on who needs to protect who, a true prizefighter. About 2 ½ years ago she was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and given 6 months to live. The disease was aggressive and complicated and we lost her last week. She had a true will to live and looked at her people with a longing that every person + animal deserves. She just wanted to be loved and give love. That was Beatrix and her big (hard working) heart. I am grateful for every extra day of her life and stubborn will to live. She was the inspiration for us to launch GreenDog Botanics natural wellness products (greendogbotanics.com) to help us and other dog moms and dads comfort and care for their furry kiddos. #lovemybeep #heartbroken
