The dog park tonight was rockin'! Who knew that Saturday nights at the park are more fun than hanging out at a bar (OK, well, maybe you all knew that...I'm just confirming!).
There were SO many dogs out! And there was a sprinkling of fresh snow, so everything was crisp and fresh. It was so amazing.
Albert found a ball in the snow and went crazy! He gets more and more puppy like every single day. The video is dark (because it was night!), but you get the jist of how kooky he went for his ball!

new beagle tent!
Adam and I do a lot of canoing and camping in the summer, so when I went shopping tonight for a birthday present for our friends dog Zack (he's having a party tomorrow night) and saw this fantastic doggie tent - well, I had to buy it!
We have a smaller one, but with Albert in the family we needed something a little roomier :) And boy was it a hit! Albert is currently snoring away in the tent, and Arther and Stella have both taken turns as well. By tomorrow I'm sure there will be a pile of beagles sleeping in it!!

is albert a puppy???
When we adopted Albert there was some uncertainty about his age. At first he was estimated at about 8 years old. Then after a full examination with the vet, his age was reduced to about 6. Well...I am beginning to wonder if he isn't younger than that!
We were at the park last night, and met a gorgeous little 16 month old BEAGLE PUPPY!!!! Anyone who knows me, knows that you canNOT put a beagle puppy in front of me and not expect me to flip out. Well, apparently the same holds true for Albert!
Albert quite literally flipped out when he met Misha the beagle puppy! We have never seen him so happy! He and the puppy chased each other, rolled around in the snow, pawed each other...it was SO funny to watch. Albert regressed to 6 months old! Arthur and Stella were both very good with the puppy as well, though not nearly as playful. Stella, who is usually extremely crusty when it comes to puppies, actually tolerated Misha (probably because he was so CUTE!).
I was very sad that I didn't bring my camera to the park! I took a few photos with my cell phone and I'll see if any turned out, but now that we know a beagle puppy goes to our dog park I will not be leaving the house with the camera!

we're going to be on the radio!!
Marna and I both did interviews tonight for a radio show that will air in the next month or so on CHUM FM. We'll be sure to post the MP3 after it airs!
Marna is talking about the rescue, and I'm talking about being a beagle owner!!

hi. my name's albert and i'm a bone-a-holic
Apparently Albert's old life didn't consist of bones. The first time we gave him one, he looked at us like we were trying to make him eat a brick. But then he gave it a lick, and his entire attitude changed.
This dog *loves* bones! These photos were taken over the course of an entire evening (and yes, I know there is a sticker on his bone. We tried everything and it refused to come off!). Albert took this bone everywhere he went last night. And then he buried it :)
PS
The middle shot is my favorite. That's Albert demonstrating his patented "couch groove" maneuver. This is where he sticks the bone down the couch cushion for stability, and then chews with all of his might with the bone in an upright position.

if you happen to be in michigan and reading this...
Big on Beagles got an email yesterday letting us know about 2 older beagles who are in a shelter in Michigan and *desperately* need a home. The photo is them - Buddy and Becky, and this is the message about them...if you can help, please call the shelter and then let us know!!!
Hi Everyone,
Here I am making another plead for help. Seems like our work is never done. Here's the story on these two beagles.
Their names are Becky and Buddy and they are about 10 years old. The gentleman who owned them since they were puppies recently passed away. Most of his family lived out of state and none of them would take them. So the neighbors called me to pick them up because they were abandoned. He trained them to be hunting dogs and they lived outside in a kennel. We did find a family to adopt them but now they want to give them back. They are complaining that they keep getting out of the yard.
The male is neutered. They both are up to date on their shots and are microchipped. They are both very sweet and just crave attention. Please let me know if you know of anyone who could help and/or if you could post them on your websites. I am hopeful that we can find a place for these two cuties to live out the rest of their lives. Thanks!!!
