I spend quite a bit of time in my squirrel infested
back yard.
My official job is to keep squirrels out.
You can see that this one (foreground) is so scared,
he can't move!
My People are so funny.
Lots of Dogs say People are stubborn, but they do
okay with some training.
For example,
you wouldn't believe what I can get with this look.
(And I used to have to sit on the floor while they ate!)
Mostly, I think my humans understand what is necessary
for the well-being of a Beagle,
but once in a while, they get some hare-brained ideas.
A good example of that is when they decide I need
a BATH.
Naturally, I keep my ears alert for key words, and
when I hear that four-letter word, I make myself scarce.
One time, I became invisible in the closet:
I have no idea how they finally found me...

HOLD IT!
There's
a
FROG!

Sorry, guys. I'm on duty. My yard is also frog infested.
Never a moment of rest... Gotta go for now.
Before you leave, take a look at my niece,
I think she must be a tall, gray Beagle, but frankly,
her "arooooooo" isn't quite right.
Still, she can play a heck of a game of chase.
It's obvious that they expect me to teach her a thing
or two. Boy, do I have my work cut out!
Update:
There's something going on with Riley.
She used to be shorter than I am, but now she's huge!
The problem is who is going to be the boss around
here when she comes to visit.
We still have some negotiating to do.
This is my nephew, Jack. Sometimes he's a human; sometimes
he's a Beagle.
I guess this year he's a Beagle:
Whatever he is, I try to be near him while he's eating.
If you're a Beagle, you know what I mean.
Here's my friend,
I know for certain she's not a Beagle but I have to
admire the way she can jump.
Say good night, Gracie!
