Beagle Love

Yesterday when I was walking in Georgetown I saw a woman walking a beagle puppy. It was so adorable!

I never knew a beagle before Sally, and didn’t really think I’d particularly want another one. Nothing against beagles, but I am getting used to not having to secure the trash and keep anything remotely edible out of reach, and it would be nice to have a dog that doesn’t shed.

My husband has had many different types of dogs–large and small–as have his parents. I’ve had two other different breeds, and my mom has had different breeds. So, we just aren’t a family that always has a specific breed of dog. I also thought it might be wierd to get the same breed, because memories would be so strong and comparisons would be inevitable.

But, gosh, is there anything cuter than a beagle? And what can compare to beagle’s howl?

I’m not saying I’m ready for another dog yet (can I take a leave of absence for puppy training?) or that I will want a beagle when I am, but I guess I will always have a soft spot in my heart for beagle love.
