albert makes his TV debut!!

For a beagle with such humble beginnings, Albert was VERY at home in the TV studio at City TV this afternoon. Big on Beagles was featured on today's Animal House Calls (airs again tonight at 11:25pm) and Albert was invited to join Quince, Rose and Junebug (AKA the twins) and Daisy-May. All 5 beagles are in foster care with Big on Beagles, so it was amazing to be able to have a platform to showcase how sweet all of the dogs are.

One of the big misconceptions about beagles is that they howl incessantly. NOT TRUE! All 5 beagles were beautifully behaved at the TV station - we had to wait for about an hour and Albert fell asleep on the studio floor!

After meeting all of these dogs I have to say...they are ALL beautiful beagles who would make amazing pets. Rescue dogs? You'd never know! They are all very well socialized, friendly, affectionate and all have very loving dispositions.

Quince was hired by Disney this summer as the "real live" Underdog! I couldn't get a better photo of Quince because he's a beagle on the move (being a youthful 2 years old and all)...but this guy has the most beautiful eyes! On a scale of 1 - 10, Quince is a super-handsome 11.


Rose and Junebug are fondly referred to as "the twins". We aren't sure if these girls are related (although they look a lot alike), but the biology of it doesn't matter. These girls are sisters at heart and, thus, come as a pair. A pair of cute beagle girls!! If you adopt these sweeties you have won the beagle lottery.

And beautiful little Daisy-May...she melted my heart the first day I met her back in the summer. Daisy-May is about 9 years old, but you'd never know it. She is, possibly, the perfect dog! Active, but not afraid to relax and hang out (she was a gem at the TV studio)...beagles have a healthy life-span (18 is not unheard of)...so really, Daisy-May is in her prime! She is a beautiful dog who deserves a beautiful life.

And, last but not least, our little Albert! Albert was (if I say so myself) the best behaved beagle of the bunch! He wasn't the least bit phased by the lights, camera, action...in fact he loved the spotlight! His highlight was, perhaps, his visit to my office where he is a certifiable celebrity. One of my colleagues felt faint when he walked in the room! She's a huge fan of Albert's blog and she couldn't believe she was meeting "Albert" in real life.

We'll leave you with my favorite thing in the world....a big pile of beagles!
