My little doggies are crate dogs. The one they stay in now is not so much a crate as a huge cage that they stay in together during the day. Anyone that has beagles will tell you that they can have a tendency to have a little case of separation anxiety. I have read a lot on beagles and I think it comes from being pack animals. If you go somewhere they think they should go there too. We are in the final stages or redoing the house and this weekend we decided we would put the crate away and take our chances with leaving the boys out while we are gone. Most people would do this before they redo the house and get new furniture, but not us. We just love living on the edge. Anyway the hubs was taking the crate apart and you should have seen the looks on the boy’s faces. I am pretty sure they think they have finally crossed the line and we are getting rid of them. So here we go on the doggie destruction adventure. You would be surprised how much 2 little beagles can find to get into in 8 hours.
As you know, our dog, Greta, ate the entire brand new sofa... We never did crate her. Be ready for an adventure!
ReplyDeletePenny has always surprised us---she is better behaved alone than we would have guessed, but I think that is because I am usually home, plus our motto is "better behavior through exhaustion", meaning I try to walk her till she drops.....
ReplyDeleteSince your boys are together, maybe they will be quiet all day?
I guess that´s one good thing about living in a warm climate. Our dog is outside all day. She loves coming in too, but mostly she´s an outside dog.
