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

Featuring:

Reagan, the 10 month beagle in the house, has been going through her second puppyhood. She seems to want to chew on soft items and tear them up.

The cats have found a little nook to curl up in. The gentle sound of snoring rises and fall in chorus as they dream sweet dreams of sun spots and breezy walks in the yard interspersed with kibble and treats.

Worn out from the weekend

Featuring:

This past weekend was so busy - some of the dogs were boarded, some went to Beagletopia to stay and Pablo and Bailey went to Indy for the walk. Sunday some of them came home and the rest on Monday. Sunday night was a quiet night with the blissfull quiet of snoring beagles! Monday was the same thing. Yesterday, there was a little more evening activity and then crash! Everyone was down for th evening - even Reagan the puppy. There was so much snoring I had to turn … read more
