We’ve both been plagued by a really pesky cold over the last few days. It’s the type that makes you feel worn out and shivery rather than the full-on mucus factory version, so we’ve clocked up a lot of sofa time by the fire. Our recovery is being helped by our two Beagles though – especially Biggles.
Biggles provides the bodily warmth, Beanie’s there for moral support
He snuggles up really close and when he’s sleeping he gives off heat like a furry hot water bottle. Admittedly this particular hot water Biggle also snores and farts occasionally, but he doesn’t need refilling every hour so the pros outweigh the cons. Beanie’s not so good at the snuggling but she’s so cute it makes you feel better just looking at her.
Not that the sleeping Biggly Boy isn’t cute too, of course.
Okay, so we’re jealous! Beagles have extended schnozzling noses that reach halfway across a couch. Small wonder you guys are such good caretakers of those ailing humans! Hope they get better soon–keep ’em warm!
Cheers,
Buster, Persephone & Bailey

I’ve had the lurgy, too, this week and although I’ve had an extremely hectic week, it was lovely to come home to a hot bath, a hot toddy and a hot Beagle bottle.
Beagles are the best companions when you’re under the weather, and I love how Truman will snuggle up to me. I call him my little personal space heater! Beanie and Biggles look so cute and peaceful all curled up. Feel better soon!
