So I’m sat in our office trying to concentrate on work, and Susan sticks her head in the bedroom to check on our two sleepy pups. “Paul, you have got to see this” she says. Well, I’m used to being called through to view Beagle cuteness, and I really need to make some progress on work, so I resist. “No, honestly you’ve never seen this one before!” OK, I give in and head for the bedroom, camera in hand.
At first I didn’t see anything unusual; just Beanie wrapped up in her old quilt with her head in a sun spot. Then I looked closer and realized she was actually wearing the quilt like a poncho.
Yep, she’d actually nibbled a big hole in the thing, poked her head through and managed to get stuck. I clicked away on the camera while Susan extracted Beanie from her self-made straitjacket. The damage to the quilt was quite impressive!
That’s not the only destruction our two have notched up recently. Earlier in the week they disembowelled our duvet in a moment of boredom. We found the two of them on the bed, looking all innocent and waggy tailed with Father Christmas beards and handfuls (or should I say mouthfuls) of white duvet innards strewn all over the room. Beagles! Can’t have a moment’s peace with ’em, can’t wait to get back home when you’re out without ’em.
Beagle Racing – A Reminder!
On a side note, don’t forget that Beagle Racing starts up again on Sunday – click here for full details. All Beagle entrants should aim to be at Inch Farm by 2.15, and don’t forget that early on Sunday morning the clocks go forward one hour for British Summer Time, so that’s actually 1.15 if you forget to adjust your watch, as I probably will.
