The Auburn Creed
I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn. Therefore, I believe in work, hard work.
I believe in education, which gives me the knowledge to work wisely and trains my mind and my hands to work skillfully.
I believe in honesty and truthfulness, without which I cannot win the respect and confidence of my fellow men.
I believe in a sound mind, in a sound body and a spirit that is not afraid, and in clean sports that develop these qualities.
I believe in obedience to law because it protects the rights of all.
I believe in the human touch, which cultivates sympathy with my fellow men and mutual helpfulness and brings happiness for all.
I believe in my Country, because it is a land of freedom and because it is my own home, and that I can best serve that country by "doing justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with my God."
And because Auburn men and women believe in these things, I believe in Auburn and love it.
-George Petrie (1945)
It's Not Just Me that Loves Beagles :)
My wonderful grandfather (Papaw), - the late Clarence Bailey - was an avid "Beagler". He hunted and raised the cute dogs for as long as I can remember... He had, like, a mini beagle farm. They were so very spunky and full of energy... I always loved the dogs. And when they are babies?? SOOOO precious...
I remember this one particular beagle, "Sissy". Sissy was blinded since birth because she was born in the middle of the night, in the middle of the winter. Because of the cold (I forget the details)?? Anyway, Sissy quickly became the family pet and was kept indoors. She was my Uncle David's best friend. Their bond was so sweet...
In the memory of Sissy and all the rest of the beagles that warmed my heart, let me introduce you to Uno, the beautiful boy that lived up to his name by becoming the first beagle to win best in show at the Westminster Kennel Club.
