7.00 am : Beanie & Biggles are let out of their crates to join us in bed for a cuddle
8.00 am : Beagle & human breakfast time
8.30 am : The two pups are let back onto our bed while we get showered, dressed, and check our email
9.00 am : Email replies are interrupted by suspicious noises coming from the bedroom
And this is what we found when we investigated those suspicious noises:
That’s the second duvet they’ve gutted this year. Puppy passes to the bedroom have now been withdrawn for the foreseeable future!
After the clean up operation we finally made it to the park, where our two vandals had a brilliant time with Tess, Tara, Clara and Kirby. Just as the session came to an end we bumped into another Beagle called Tess – a sweet little 10 month old who loves to run. Maybe we’ll see her at Beagle Racing tomorrow – if the weather holds up it should be another brilliant day!
Here are a few shots from today’s play session:
Biggles has become very good at the “please feed me” look. Beanie is impressed, and perhaps a little jealous!
But our little boy doesn’t get a look in when we’re playing fetch with Beanie. He still doesn’t understand that the ball contains treats :(
Beanie delivers the ball straight to Susan’s hand. It doesn’t get better than that.
Enough of the ball! It’s time for chases!
Kirby’s more than twice their size, but two Beagles are handful even for her!
Another attempted theft of Kirby’s frisbee goes awry. Scarper!
It’s treat-time again. Again.
A quiet moment with a good stick..
..is interrupted by a barking Bigglet. Brothers! Who’d have ’em!
Feed two Beagles, and suddenly you’ve got two more (Tess & Tara)…
Make that three. Call the cops – mugging in progress!
Our beagle likes to sleep under the duvet, but gets too hot after a bit and gets out. Then she goes back. I told my husband that someone should market a dog-owner duvet that has a hole in the center for canine ventilation/entry+exits. Beanie and Biggles are just working out the best design!
I can’t seem to find the post about their harnesses – I remember you said that the x-back ones are bad for beagles. The ones you have on them in these pics look fantastic – can you tell me where to get one? Thanks in advance.
Hmm.. ventilation research you say.. The problem is this Beagle R&D seems to consume a lot of our budget, and even more of our duvet!
As for the harnesses, we got ours from snugglepets.co.uk (brilliant name). We got size 3 fleece harnesses, and I reckon they would accommodate all but the largest Beagles. Here’s a direct link:

Thanks for the Snugglepets link – I ordered one for Dolly just now. She’s going to love it, and I will, too. I’m so glad they deliver to the US!
Our bedroom was off limits until Dolly hit three years old, when she started to value comfort over trouble-making. Hang in there with the two B’s!
