Scamper is an amazing Beagle

Scamper has amazing personality and is very smart- as all beagles are!

She loves to snuggle in bed when she first wakes up. She’ll make her way up from under the covers until she’s lying on her back in the crook of my arm. She expects at least a 10-min belly rub and ear scratch prior to getting up to get her breakfast. If I stop the rubdown too soon, she’ll inch her way up by squirming on her back until her snout is face to face with me. Once she’s eaten and gone outside, she comes racing back in to get another two hours of beauty sleep. If I get up and turn on the lights, she’ll put her paws over her eyes and bury her head. 

Her personality doesn’t stop there–if I come home too late at night (in her opinion), she will grab her security blanket in her mouth and race into the rest of the house (she stays in the kitchen and laundry room when I’m gone) and pout for a good 10 minutes. If anyone tries to come up and pet her, she’ll turn her tail and pout away from you until she decides she’s given enough cold-shoulder. This goes for when I have visitors, too. If she gets too excited and is trying to jump up on our guests or bounce from the couch to the love seat and back, she’ll get a stern “off” from me and I’ll tell her rug. Scamper will then grab her blanket and run to her rug and give herself a time out. 

Lastly, Scamper really lives up to her name. When she gets tired late at night, she’ll race laps around the house from bedroom to kitchen, to living room, back to bedroom for about five minutes, then in the middle of the run, she’ll just stop, and go to sleep–kind of like a hyper-tired toddler.

Well, that’s my precious beagle baby–the best pet and companion anyone could ever want to have!!!

Many Blessings!

This is a picture of our Chloe, she is very special to us, my husband rescued her from a kennel full of hunting beagles.  Chloe is NOT a hunter.  She onced belonged to an elderly woman who had gotten sick and later had to be put in a nursing home, where she eventually passed away.  Needless to say, Chloe was given away to someone who hunted and wanted to make a hunter of her, she would not hunt, so they bred her several times.  She now has a very bad hip and her teets hang very low.  She is the sweetest most precious dog, she loves to be cuddled and loves to sleep in the bed with the covers over her and on the pillow, she thinks she a little girl!  Which she is, now that we have no children at home anymore.  By the way, when we got her, her name was “brown eyes” we renamed her, Chloe suits her much better.
