Bedtime with Louis Pasteur

20100215_5031

Bedtime is storytime. The Beagles after a long day of sniffing-protecting-eating-playing, curl up to join in the tradition. Value Tales have become go-to books, especially ‘The Value of Believing in Yourself – the Tale of Louis Pasteur‘ It is the tale of rabies and the discovery of its vaccination by Louis Pasteur. Both Beagles and children request the story nightly. [...]

MacGyver Maddox

IMG_0160

MacGyver; the optimistic, laid-back, resourceful secret agent who has the ability to use everyday objects to perform extraordinary feats. This is who Maddox the Lemon becomes when delicious delights are aloft on the kitchen counter (and everyone has vacated the room).  Mooching vittles is his mission. He is very talented.    He detects some tasty food, it beckons to him. If [...]

I Love You So Much

Our baby loves dogs. Darcey’s passing is still something she shares with her Preschool teacher, daily. (Sigh – que Mommy tears). However, she is finding some happiness with these new dogs. Buddy the lover, Daphney the playful biting one, and Maddox the Grampa with a gentle bossy attitude. I enjoy watching it unfold. Maddox seems to tolerate it the best; [...]

NO and you cannot make me!

All dogs, regardless of size or breed, need to be taken on daily walks to get moving. It is an important ritual in keeping your dog mentally and physically stable. For our Beagles, Maddox and Buddy, when running shoes are in hand they begin singing like contestants trying out for American Idol, dancing included. Walks [...]

Not for everyone

20100202_4772-1

Beagles are not for everyone – but almost. Not only the personality, but the packaging of this little scent hound makes it an ideal breed as a house companion. The only thing better than one Beagle is two.  Seems the Lover Boys are entranced by the culinary delights for DH (Darling Husband) tonight.

Understanding Maddox the Lemon

20100126_4642

There was something a little different about Maddox. He did bay-bark-howl when someone came to the door, when he played with Buddy, and of course, outside when catching the scent of another animal. All of this is typical Beagle behavior. However there was something else there. It wasn’t just the behavior of adjusting to a [...]

Personalities Emerge

Dogs have definite unique personalities and if you listen they will tell you. Maddox thought he was the king, he told me his middle name was Elvis. Buddy was quite and responsive, shall we say the sweet sensitive type? The two made for the perfect pair, one looking after the other. They were pack brothers. [...]

The Lover Boy’s… two 15″ Beagles settle in

20100126_4681

Darcey was a 13″ Sporting Beagle.  A petite dainty Beagle compared to these two manly boys. Resembling small Labrador’s, these boys were both larger than Darcey by 20 lbs at least. Especially for Maddox, the Lemon, he had fat rolls - please forgive me Maddox. My two oldest and Darling Husband (DH) hit it off with these Lover Boys instantly. It was different for me [...]
