Hooray (Ah-Roo!) for Beagles!

There was a story on NPR this morning that summed up a lot of what I tell people about beagles.

We've been pretty lucky with our little bugger. He's stubborn as hell, like all beagles. Many people mistake this trait for stupidity, but beagles are a lot smarter than they let on! His baying is only occasional and tolerable.

The only maddening aspect is when he gets loose: all calls to come back are ignored as his nose takes over and off he goes! He's usually good for a two or three hour jaunt (we live in the country), and he comes home exhausted and smelling like hell - always finding something foul to roll in.

But we love him...!
