My wife brought home 2 beagle-bull mixes this summer a few months after our Lab-chow mix died. We had Josie for 15 years and she was a great family dog. We gave her to the kids for Christmas in 95 or 96 and kept her in the back yard at our Georgia home. We moved to Minnesota in 99 and Josie seemed to thrive in the colder weather. We made it back to GA in 2003 and moved into a home with a huge fenced in back yard. It was a wonderful place for Josie to live out her last years. We had got other dogs thru the years to give Josie some companionship but it never really worked out. She passed in May this year and it was very hard on all of us.
In late July the new puppies came into our lives and wow, they are the neatest dogs. They are the friendliest dogs you can imagine. I am going to figure out how to get thier pictures posted so you can see them but they just wont sit still long enough for the pose. They got out of the fence last weekend and we didnt realize until about lunch on Sunday. We totally freaked out. Fortunatley they came barreling thru the front door that afternoon. I was really surprised how much it hurt if we had lost them.
Lily looks more like a Pit and Blue is more of a beagle. They are both crashed out on the sofa tonight and they hang out with us inside every evening.
We are doing our best to not feed them from the table and it seems to be a good thing. They still hang at our feet when we eat but we are sticking to Puppy chow. Occasionally they get into the cat food if we dont put it up in time.
They are learning to get along with the cats. Its funny, the cats now want our attention as we spend alot of time playing with the new dogs.
Anyway, this is the first post. We'll see how long this lasts.

Okay so now there is a grand dog born either late April or early May 2011. She belongs to the youngest son but is in need of a temporary home. I don't like it. The old cat hates the idea of a puppy, she hated me when I first arrived. Now the cat and I have something in common we agree we don't need a puppy. I heard them discuss fostering this pup, not sure what that means. But once she arrived with her cute little beagle face and puppy ways I knew the cat and I would now be buddies. This is alot of work entertaining this puppy. Love it when she just falls out and is in need of a nap. I am exhausted and I need a nap. Well my master had to go to the hospital and I was left baby sitting this new puppy, thank goodness for the doggy door. She had drug out every toy of the toy basket and chewed up alot of them. Has clean laundry out of the laundry basket all thru the house. Found out what the kleenex box was for (to shred) I think she has no manners at all. When they get home boy someone is going to be in trouble. Well it has been a few weeks since her arrival and she eats up everything. Been to the vet and they think she is sooooo cute. Hey what about me? I like her alittle bit but she loves me and is like my shadow. What am I going to do with this puppy who I think is here to stay? Rocky T.
