So far the Beagles haven't taken over.

Featuring:

I'm still enjoying Florida - having a blast and looking forward to the announcements tomorrow. I knew there were bad storms the day after I left and so I called to check on the pack. Cats/house - OK. Dogs at vet - OK. Beagletopia? voicemail. A little concerning. Hopefully Liz is busy and not fallen to some sort of beagle coup. Well, yesterday I did manage to talk with Liz. Everyone was safe and doing well. The beagle containment system was still up with no b… read more

Fun in the sun.

Beagle sleigh ride.

I had an errand to run that send me out to Beagletopia to deliver a bookcase and pick up some bales of straw. Once the bookcase was unloaded, Liz and I waded through the beagles to the back barn. She opened the man door and the beagles swarmed into the barn like a breech in a dam. We waded through them again to get to the straw. I grabbed a bale and Liz stopped me. She took out a dog leash and clipped it on the bale and then clipped another bale for herself. She drug the bale… read more
