Keeping up my tradition of taking portraits of our Beagles around birthdays, here’s the latest round to celebrate Poppy turning one year old:

I titled this post “Mugshots” and that’s particularly appropriate for Biggles who seems to be going through a second puppyhood; he is overall our naughtiest Beagle. He’s often so excited to go on his teatime walk that he woofs all the way down the street, he’s taught the youngsters to charge into the road after litter, and he’s pulled off no less than three kitchen raids over the last week. The raids happened because the latch on kitchen baby gate sticks open sometimes, and though we don’t hear its failure to close properly, Biggles does. In typical Biggles fashion he squandered most of his unsupervised kitchen access sessions, grabbing items of little consequence off the worktops while missing things with much more potential for mess-making and vet visits. He did however manage to rip open a bag of porridge oats and despite multiple vacuumings, those little flakes are still turning up on the floor so his efforts weren’t completely wasted.
