Leroy Brown’s Story of Success and Inspiration

July 21st, 2010

My daughter, Chelsea, adopted “Bacon” from the Humane Society of Indianapolis in July of 2007. He had a “yellow card” (meaning that he may not get along with other animals or may need some behavioral training) but she took the chance.

Leroy (as he’s now called) is a very funny dog. He is loved by Chelsea and her family. I refer to him as my Grandson. Chelsea moved to Nashville, TN more than a year ago and Leroy Brown is very happy there.

The second success about Leroy Brown is that he inspired me to paint again - I had not painted since about 1987. I painted his portrait and it inspired me to write a book (now in progress). I copyrighted Leroy Brown as I envisioned him in the public eye.

Recently, I uploaded my artwork online and Leroy Brown is included in the art.

Thanks for all you do. I have a cat from IndyHumane and I live in Florida now. My two dogs are from Princeton, IN and Frankfurt, IN from shelters. My daughters and I are all about the shelter animals and wish them a good home.

 

With love for the animals and much hope for them, Melanie Wadman

Beautiful picture of Leroy Brown.  We adopted our two beagles for exercise.  Our beagles love to walk and hike and they keep us on the move.
This beautiful beagle got you to paint again.  Having a pet is so good for us.

Hogan Beauregard Byrne here (formerly Goose)

January 3rd, 2012

Hello and Happy New Year!
Hogan Beauregard Byrne here (formerly Goose)!  They call me Hogey Bogey for short.  As far as my new name, Mom says I am named after one of the great golfers of all time – Ben Hogan --- and she chose Beauregard so she could shorten it to Bogey (which is 1 over par in golf).  I am not sure what golf is all about, but I learned my new name in less than a day.   Mom & Dad say I act like a goose, mostly because I am silly. However, when I wake up in the morning I roll over on my back, stretch my front paws over my head and my back legs straight out and then make a sort of honking sound.   
Enough about my new name, I wanted to drop you a line and let you know how things are going in my new life.   First off, I have been very busy exploring my new home.  We celebrated something called Christmas.  Based on my history, Mom & Dad think this was my first Christmas in a real home.

Sorry it took a while to get back with you. Tess and I are so busy with work and school, and of course Dexter (formally Blue Bear lol). Where to begin... Today marks three months of having Dexter and to be honest, it feels like we have had him forever. We couldn't imagine not having him around.
