Likes: play tug , eat human food , go rollerblading, steal our shoes and run off with them, playing with ice cubes, sleep on the bed, howl in the middle of the night, stick her nose out of the window of the car while driving, getting a belly rub, bury chewchips
Pet-Peeves: get her ears cleaned, putting her harness on- she hates it!! How could I forget: Spray bottles!!! :-)
Favorite Toy: The Hairy-Man... :-) a bear with ropes as arms and feet and rope as hair. There's a picture of him in my PhotoBook!! :-)
Favorite Food: anything that we have on our plates or on the kitchen counter, her favorite treats are Beggin' Strips
Favorite Walk: she loves to go out in the desert and get all the good sniffs there
Best Tricks: she shakes paws, she knows how to heel, sit , ly down and stay... but I guess those are not really tricks
Arrival Story: I got Sage, when my husband was still in the Army, stationed in Fort Lewis, WA. We looked for Beagles in the newspaper, and just wanted to go look at some puppies. Well when we got there and I saw her, I just couldn't leave without her.
Bio: Sage was the only female in her litter and she was the runt. She still is smaller than most Beagles and many people think she is still a puppy- but I don't think that bothers her much... the more attention the better!
Sage is a very easy-going dog, I've never met a dog she didn't get along with.
Food is the most important thing to Sage, especially human food. And if you don't give it to her, she just tries to snatch it. "Eye-witnesses" have seen her jump from the floor up onto the counter top , and she is not very tall! :-) She also has a way of figuring out how to get to your food. For example while we eat dinner she scratches at the door, so I will have to go over there to let her out. I get up from my chair and walk over to the door- as soon as I am at the door opening it, she hauls butt to the table, jumps on my chair and tries to steal as much as she can of my plate... --I figured that one out rather quick.... that doesn't keep her fom trying, though!!! :-) Her crazyness for food has only one big advantage: It's pretty easy to train her, since she will do anything for a treat!!! :-)

Well, my patronis postponed our hiking trip to Hilton Lakes AGAIN. Why?? I don't know. What could there possibly be better to do than hiking?? I was fed up all weekend long! (I got some consolation from my friends, of course). I guess I just have to keep my paws crossed, that we'll go next weekend!! I love hiking soooo much!
When I woke up this morning it was cold!!!!! I couldn't believe it! Nice and cold! It started raining a few hours ago and hasn't stopped yet!! Sooo nice... I love rain! I am totaly wet from walking around outside. My mom says I stink... how can she say something like that!?!?!? Anyway I'm enjoying the rain, it's probably not going to be cold for very long here-- it's mid-August.
I better get going-- got so much to do outside... it's a lot more fun to dig if the sand is wet!! :-)
Oh, it was sooo much fun!!! We left Saturday, early in the morning, so we would beat the heat, which was a very good idea :-) !!! I carried my own backpack with my food, my camping food and water bowls, my booties (in case I need them on a rocky stretch), my harness and another leash!
The trail went alongside a creek for most of the way, that was nice, cause I could get a drink anytime I wanted to!!! We had to cross the creek a few times, too. I jumped from rock to rock, or sometimes I waded through... the water was icecold snow melt, but very refreshing!
Half way up the trail I met another dog!!! She was a Bassett Hound mix and I really enjoyed having her company! We played a little and walked together for a while!
The lake was sooo pretty... of course the water was freezing cold, but the color... torquoise blue.... and so clear!! My Dad and my uncle were fishing most the time we were up there, they caught tons of fish! From the camping spot we could see the lake, so that was a plus! :-)
I was scouting out the area with my Mom, so many great sniffs for a little Beagle!! The wildflowers are still blooming up there, I enjoyed walking through tall, green grass and flowers... there is not too much of that here at the house! I love grass!
In the evening my patronis made a fire, that was the first time I've ever seen a camp fire. Hot!!! My Mom, Dad and uncle were roasting marshmellows in the fire... I snatched a big one of my Dad's stick, so fast he had no clue what was happening to him... yeah, I know, I'm good at that kinda stuff!!! :-)
I liked sleeping in the tent. I was soooooo tired! I slept through the whole night and didn't howl a single time, I don't think I even woke up. I slept like a rock! [I think my Mom was very happy about that :-) ]
The next day we left around noon to walk back to the truck. It was all downhill, so we were pretty fast! When we got to town my patronis had some burgers, they must have been really hungry!! Even I got one :-) Yes!! Soo yummy!!!
I'm still kinda tired from the hike... but I can't wait to go again... next weekend hopefully :-) !!! I'll sleep some more now and dream about that big, jucy burger I had!!! Mhhmmm, burgerszzzzzz.....
Man, I've been pretty busy lately!! Since Saturday an 8-week old Boston Terrier is visiting us. His name is Murphy. He can stress me out really fast! Then I just jump up on the bed or the sofa where he can't reach me! Not that I don't like him, I play with him-- but only when I want! He is sleeping rightnow. One other thing that bugs me is that everybody only seems to have eyes for the puppy now!! Nobody even noticed that for over three days I haven't stolen any socks or shoes, I haven't jumped up on the table and I haven't done anything else I usually do! What do I have to do to get their attention??
On Sunday my Dad, Mom and I (without Murphy!!) went on a nice hike up to a lake. My Dad was fishing for a while. My Mom and me just walked arround. It was very nice up there-- landscape wise, also the temperature was soo much cooler than by where I live!! BUT: There were tons of mosquitos!! They were chewing me up!!! My parents had bug repellent, but I don't think the mosquitos have never heard a word about bug repellent!!! So we didn't stay at the lake very long, and my Dad only caught one fish :-) The hike up and down was fun, though!!!
Yesterday evening we went fishing again. Just 10 minutes up the road from here. This time Murphy came... but he got tired really fast and was sleeping in the truck. So I just walked around by myself, my Mom wasn't very happy about all the trash people leave there... cause I was trying to get into everything :-) My Mom payed attention to me really good, but one time she just wasn't fast enough-- all she saw was my pink, glittery tongue :-) I don't know what I ate, but it tasted real good and I think the glitter looked good on my tongue, too!
I'm sure we'll be going to the lakes a lot now...let's see what I can find next time!!!
