Beagle Talent and Preference

Although to date my favorite toys are soft squeaky ones, my mom decided to encourage me to be more "main-line" dog, more like the millions of others who are part of the "Kong" establishment. She figured since I tear, mutilate and destroy my other toys, I must need more a more challenging chew. Well, she stuffed the thing with a COOKIE, and just to top it off, PEANUT BUTTER. What's not to like? I guess the smell was supposed to encourage me to chew the darn thing, but I showed her...I have the unbelievable talent of being able to make my tongue small enough to lick every delicious dab of PB out of that little-bitty hole! Being the encouraging, hovering, and obsessive mother that she is, she reapplied the PB, trying to get it in really, really deep...lol. Foolish woman...not even a challenge. I suppose she should've saved her money and just spread the PEANUT BUTTER directly onto the COOKIE. Then I could get back to the business of pretending that the squeaky furry thing in my basket is a SQUIRREL, and rip the silly thing apart.

Bling Blings

Last night was my lucky night. Mom bought me a new collar, brown with pastel colored hearts all around. It looks so gggrrr-eat with my tricolored coat! Meg bought me a pink leash to match...I am so stylin'!

One other thing was purchased that was a little baffling to me, however. Mom also bought a no-tug harness. What's with that? It was like I forgot how to walk. Even Reilly was looking at me funny. I started getting the hang of it, and pow! Squirrel scent! Mom said I looked like a dolphin leaping along the sidewalk. Nice analogy Mom. You sure know how to make a girl feel good about herself.

Until next time, my friends...aaaaooooo!

Pesty Brother

Boy can that Reilly be a pest. He's such a morning dog - so peppy and full of himself. Nothing like sleeping in under all the covers of a freshly made bed...just thinking of it makes me tired.

Have you ever read the Toddlers Rules for Sharing? They also apply to Beagles.
1. If I like it, it's mine.
2. If it's in my hand, it's mine.
3. If I can take it from you, it's mine.
4. If I had it a while ago, it's still mine.
5. If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
6. If I'm doing or building something, all the pieces are mine.
7. If if looks like mine, it is mine.
8. If I see it first, it's mine.
9. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it
automatically becomes mine.
10. If it's broken, it's yours.

And mom thought the kids were grown!

A Clean Start to the Day

My Mom brough me (and Reilly) to the groomers early this morning. It was pretty busy there...plenty of new friends to bark with! I guess I was my usual beagle self and got into some pretty lengthy conversations with the other dogs...oh well! Wore myself out and had a great nap on the ride home.

Hello!

I think being in Dogster will be great...I love friends, I love attention, and most of all I love treats...hope I get lots of BONES! Reilly is my new brother, cute and fuzzy, but real easy to steal treats from - a bit of a pushover. I really enjoy having him to romp with. Can't wait to get up in the morning to start! Don't think my human family really knew what was in store for them!
