Beagle

There she is, our little bundle of filth, digging up a planter on the patio. She's just so goddamn precious that I sing old spirituals while wiping up her muddy paw prints.
Miss Kitty and I were walking down to the hardware store the other day to buy a socket wrench set (we were installing a new stereo into MK's car) and we passed a young woman walking a beagle puppy. I asked if he was a puppy, and the YW said yes, and then MK asked how old he was. Suffice it to say that it's one big small world when two people living on the southside of Pgh bought puppies from the same breeder in Chewton. Bela's brother, Sebastian, is a sweetie and cute as a button, but not nearly as cute as Bela. She's nearly beagle perfection, except for the biting, the dirt, and eating dead baby birds she finds on the street.

You might want to follow our breeder´s recommendation: "Immer schön "Pfui" sagen". It works wonders, particularly when the little buggers (oh, see how her look says "oops, I was found out") stuff things into them that have a track record of not being good for them and thus cost incurring ("Hey, vet, this time it was ....").

She really is a cutie ;).

Oh, ygfa, you're going to have to translate "Immer schön "Pfui" sagen" for us 'Mericans. You know we're all monolingual.

;) Sorry, totally forgot.

It means "You always have to say "Pfui"", but as you can see, it loses in translation. (Perhaps I should make a little sound recording?)

My dog and mother also think that your puppy is a cutie and from the way Bela looks on the pic, mother guessed "They have more than a handful with that one."

Yes, we have a handful with this little terror. Actually, Cree calls her Hurricane Bela. But she'll calm down in a few years and then we'll have a wonderful dog ;)
