Note from LP: Wow, I got to
go on a vacation the week of Thanksgiving. I stayed at Aunt Brenda
and Uncle Jim’s. They have 2 dogs of their own, a little 15#
dog called a Rat Terror (or something like that), and a 45# Pit
Bull. For a bunch of guys hangin’ out together for the first
time, we did great. I’m used to playing with big dogs, so
I was a little rough on them. I like to tug on their legs, or smack
at ‘em with my big, fat feet. It’s all in good fun!
The little one, Tux pouted a couple times, but we didn’t get
in any knock down, drag out fights or anything. If I was too wild,
B or J just said my name in that “you know you’re in
trouble now” tone, and I backed off. I respected their rules
about sharing toys, I didn’t snarf down my cousins’
food, AND I didn’t take a hike on the furniture! The boys
and I would play for a couple hours then I would go to my kennel
for 45mins or so, to give everyone a break. Before they went to
work, Aunt B would fill my Kong with tasty treats to keep me occupied
for awhile. I also had my favorite Nylabone with me.
I liked to snuggle with Uncle Jim on the couch. I had a blast being
out in the back yard, even when those other two wusses wanted in
becuz it was freezing! I like to go on walks, but because I follow
my nose, that sometimes meant I walked right underneath Jim’s
size 12s!
There are a lot of different sounds in a house as opposed to at
the kennels. Some of them spooked me, especially that vacuum cleaner.
B&J were really amazed that I didn’t “bay like a
Beagle” all the time. They can’t believe that I haven’t
been adopted already. I’m just a happy, go lucky guy looking
for the right family to bring me into their hearts and homes.

My Story:
This little treasure was dumped in the backyard of a fellow animal
lover. She contacted animal control and put an ad in the paper,
but no one came to claim him. He is now in our care, socializing
with other dogs, and waiting for a loving family to take him home.
If you know beagles, you will know that they go where their noses
take them! A secure fenced-in yard is a must for our Little Prince.
He enjoys going for walks and rides wonderfully in the car. Someone
was probably heavy handed with him at some point as he will occasionally
lower his head and give sad eyes when you reach down to pet or pick
him up. He looks unsure of what someone might do, but he retains
a happy go lucky spirit and is sweet, loving, a clown, and can be
super playful. He already loves his stuffed animals and especially
his Nylabone. He is learning that toys are owned by people who choose
to share them with dogs. He gets the picture pretty quickly. He
is gentle and kind and quite playful with other dogs- not yet sure
about cats. He would do great in a household with older children
who will not tug at his tail, etc., since he is somewhat sensitive.
He just had his first vet visit and was great with the vet staff
and clients and dogs waiting in the lobby. He has been dewormed,
heartworm tested negative, and had all his vaccinations (he will
be neutered soon). We call him our Little Prince and Bugle Boy,
although he is pretty quiet unless he sees you are giving love to
another canine and he isn't involved. He weighed in at 29 pounds
and is a nice healthy dog- trim and fit. We think he is about a
year old- his teeth are nice and white and he has some puppy-like
youthful cuteness (although all beagles seem to retain that puppy
appeal). He enjoys and allows being picked up and carried but is
not needy.
If you would like more information, or would consider becoming
a foster or forever home for Little Prince, aka Bugle Boy :), please
send us an email with questions. He was a very unexpected rescue,
so donations are greatly appreciated (and tax deductible!!) since
one of our volunteers is paying all his bills (he is also currently
in boarding). We accept donations of heartworm and flea prevention,
dog beds, toys, etc. Please spread the word about this little charmer!
