Joy Blooms with the Beagles

What I know about Beagles

How we changed from Cat-People to Beagle-People by a warm nose, wagging tail and soft fur

 

I'm married to a engineer.  If you are lucky enough to be married to one too, you know that an engineer is, well, a different breed.  They are wired to approach everything from a "problem-solving" point of view.  That's certainly true of my hubby. 

Many years ago my job kept me on the road for weeks at a time while hubby stayed home.  He worked from the house, (still does), and shared the space with the same pair of cats for twenty years. 

These cat, Mandy & Squeaky, never warmed up to Dave even though they relied on him for the necessities of life.  The day finally came when old-age was getting the best of the kitties.   With the house without any furry companions, we made the decision not to adopt more kittens.

He wanted a dog.  He hadn't had a dog since he was a kid.  Oddly enough we both had childhood dogs named Cindy - but that is another story.   

We discussed it and decided to get a dog.

 

But where does one start looking for a dog?
