A
Tribute to Beaucoup
Beaucoup was euthanized on 9/10, at age 10 years 5 months. Please help me celebrate her life. These are some of her contributions to the Bouvier community. ++ If you have ever been on a BouvWalk, thank Beaucoup. She started the very first one, with just one other dog and four people, here in Philadelphia. From there it grew, and grew and grew - to over 70 people. And then inspired Bouvwalks all over the United States and Canada. ++ If you have ever supported Rescue through the purchase of note cards or holiday cards, thank Beaucoup. Without her impressive dignity and her deep, expressive eyes - the eyes of an old soul - I never would have started painting and drawing dogs. Beaucoup has raised thousands of dollars to help Bouvs in need. ++ If you have ever cared for a loved one in a hospital or life care home or AIDS facility, thank Beaucoup, and think of her. She brought joy and healing to hundreds and hundreds of people in her visits over many years. If you take your Bouv on therapy visits, think of Beaucoup and invite her spirit to join you. ++ If you love good food, think of Beaucoup during your next great meal, and invite her to have a taste. She was a gourmand of the first order, savoring her food - morsel by morsel - with immense discrimination and thorough enjoyment. She would moan in anticipation of an exceptional culinary meal. ++ If you know dogs who are dogs, and dogs who are half human, add Beaucoup to your list of the latter. Thank them all for being in our lives. ++ If you count me as a friend, thank Beaucoup. Because of her I have met dozens of Bouvier lovers through dog events, dog shows, and the internet. When I think of how much all of you mean to me, I thank Beaucoup. Beaucoup was the ultimate Ambassadress of the breed - a Bouvier of great judgment, great beauty, extraordinary dignity, the ultimate minimalist, and trustworthy any time in any place with any people, if their intentions were honorable. She is the best friend I've ever had, other than my husband. Beaucoup, you walk in my heart. |

One hundred percent of the profits (minus expenses) from the sale of all items sold by the Beaucoup Bouvier Fund through this site or eBay go to help support not-for-profit organizations which benefit the health and welfare of the Bouvier. All artwork is donated by Carol Rauch; all time spent on production of art items is also donated. The only expenses associated with this endeavor are for art supplies and printing costs. The average cost of supplies and printing is currently 30 percent, meaning that 70 percent of the sales price goes directly to the fund. In the past we have contributed to small Bouvier Rescue organizations, small non-Bouvier Rescue organizations caring for Bouvier(s), ABRL, individual Bouvier in need of costly medical procedures and Bouvier health research. If there is a particular organization that you favor, please let me know and I will send the proceeds to them. While we favor supporting the smaller Bouvier Rescue groups, we will send the money as you direct. If you have no preference, the money will go to the fund and be used for the next individual Bouvier or Bouvier Rescue group in need.
Carol and I thank you for your purchase in support of this worthy cause.
