Hey, this peel is missing a banana!

Featuring:

Reagan

Avery

So, 'heathen child' also known as 10 month old beagle pup Reagan decides her beagle tummy is a bit rumbly. Now you may be concerned about my 'pet name' for her but once you read this I hope you'll come to agree.

Reagan, you see first off thinks she's a cat or that the cat is a beagle. Of this I am not certain. But what I am certain of is that she can get on the kitchen counters with ease just like her feline sister Avery does. They rub on eachother, I swear they both purr, and both check the cat food bowl for spare crumbs.

This particular day Reagan's tummy was extra rumbly and she quickly spied a brand new bunch of bananas sitting in the window above the sink. Looking around she found I was not watching her and with the stealth of a ninja set on to her task....a banana snack!

Later that evening I decided to reward the beagle bunch with a bit of a shared snack, of course, those ripening bananas. As I picked up the bunch I quickly noticed that attached to the main bunch were now only 6 full bananas and 1 empty banana peel!

Now, I could say the store or some banana grower in the world forgot to put my banana in the peel, looking down at
'heathen child' I quickly realized I had not been deceived.

Now this pup may not be the brightest on the block. She hasn't quite mastered the potty outside thing, she likes to chew on expensive furniture and wood molding around the house, she has chewed holes in every bed quilt I own, she destuffs toys to destruction in less than 15 minutes, she barks at the front window at the hint of anything moving outside, she likes to get up at 3 am for a potty break (this is the only time she does get it right!), she steals food, she annoys the other beagles to play when they clearly want to rest.

However, given all of this I can now proudly say that she CAN do something... she can quickly and quietly eat an entire banana right from the bunch and leave minimal damage to the peel that remains still attached!

My hope now springs eternal!
