Six Legged Beagle

A six legged Beagle – surely not?

Nope. It’s Beanie and Biggles doing a bit of (poorly) synchronized agility in the garden!

Followed by a bickie hunt (in retrospect not the smartest thing to do around an agility course – remember the dreaded tunnel of plenty!!)…

Then some toys and a chill out.

The brightly coloured activity tunnel is a new acquisition. We’d spotted a kiddies ‘potting shed’ tent selling for half price in Home Base and both thought it suited the Biggly Boy right down to the ground. We got as far as the checkout before coming to our senses and realising that our boy can’t read the ‘potting shed’ sign and wouldn’t know the difference between his new toy and a cardboard box. However, we couldn’t go home empty handed so chose the brightly coloured tunnel/den instead. It was very well received and makes a handy addition to our ever-growing set of agility equipment!

The Fugitive

Picture this.. a peaceful afternoon.. Beanie & Biggles chilling out with us in our office.

In due course they both go out to the garden to answer nature’s call and (almost) come face to face with this:

Yep, a cow went rogue, busted out of its field and came to chew the grass at the other side of our garden fence! Biggles was strangely quiet by the time I got down there with them. Maybe he was all woofed-out, having already defended us from the postman and a courier earlier in the day, but Beanie stepped up to the plate and did a great job of repelling this would-be gate crasher.

It took a few minutes, but eventually the cow couldn’t endure any more of Beanie’s indignant woofage (or maybe ran out of grass to eat) and headed back into its field. We’re safe again.. but for how long?
