So I’m sat in our office trying to concentrate on work, and Susan sticks her head in the bedroom to check on our two sleepy pups. “Paul, you have got to see this” she says. Well, I’m used to being called through to view Beagle cuteness, and I really need to make some progress on work, so I resist. “No, honestly you’ve never seen this one before!” OK, I give in and head for the bedroom, camera in hand.
At first I didn’t see anything unusual; just Beanie wrapped up in her old quilt with her head in a sun spot. Then I looked closer and realized she was actually wearing the quilt like a poncho.
Yep, she’d actually nibbled a big hole in the thing, poked her head through and managed to get stuck. I clicked away on the camera while Susan extracted Beanie from her self-made straitjacket. The damage to the quilt was quite impressive!
That’s not the only destruction our two have notched up recently. Earlier in the week they disembowelled our duvet in a moment of boredom. We found the two of them on the bed, looking all innocent and waggy tailed with Father Christmas beards and handfuls (or should I say mouthfuls) of white duvet innards strewn all over the room. Beagles! Can’t have a moment’s peace with ’em, can’t wait to get back home when you’re out without ’em.
Beagle Racing – A Reminder!
On a side note, don’t forget that Beagle Racing starts up again on Sunday – click here for full details. All Beagle entrants should aim to be at Inch Farm by 2.15, and don’t forget that early on Sunday morning the clocks go forward one hour for British Summer Time, so that’s actually 1.15 if you forget to adjust your watch, as I probably will.
He, He, He.
Amber says Mum’s just putting the finishing touches to her Beagle suit.
Why not tell Amber to come to the racing tomorrow? She won’t even need her Beagle suit – all dogs are welcome to have a go at chasing the lure. Follow the link on the sidebar for full details. I was hoping to bump into Mia and her dad as I just know Mia would love it!
Hi all, Bella wont be at racing tomorrow but will definetely try to be there next week! Also need a wee swim again soon, Bella developed an ear infection after the session so thats why we’ve not been in touch! See you soon
Do you think it was the water getting in her ears that caused the infection?
Jen says she has one dog come for swimming that is prone to ear infections and has cotton wool stuffed in his ears and a big bandage around his head to keep the water out!
Did you know that Bella & Beanie’s sister Zoe is famous? Her young owner Morven won Junior Handler at Crufts with her. There’s a piccy of Zoe on the Newlin website news page.
Can’t wait to see what Biggles does tomorrow at his first day of racing. You’ll probably here’s his aaarrrrooohhh’s in Glasgow!
We’re not sure, we just noticed after she’d been in the water her ears smelled rotten and we could see an infection when we looked, so she might have had it before and the water just made us notice it more because they didn’t smell before the swimming.
Thats weird you mentioned Zoe, i met her and one of their other beagles when i was out walking Bella the other night, they only live like 5 minutes from us! She’s a lovely dog, i think Bella is the giant of the litter though even Zoe was smaller than her!
Aw good luck Biggles
Go get em Big Les!
