Having read lot of books when I decided to get a Beagle I was aware that they had poor recall and that if they caught a scent they usually wouldn’t respond. So I had a conscious decision that she would never be allowed off the lead. Up until this point it has worked out well, I mean she managed to slip her harness a few times when it was a little too big but she only got a few feet away.
Yesterday however was different. My step-dad was at the door talking to us and she slipped past him and out the door. She darted across the road, narrowly avoiding being hit by a car and ran to our local park, which is only just down the road.
She refused to stop and wouldn’t come back, so we gave chase. It took my step-dad, brother and I ten minutes to catch her as every time we got close she would dart away. My step-dad ended up having to crawl across the grown towards her tempting her with a piece of paper before he could catch her.
Thus proving my decision to never let her off the lead was correct and also serves as a reminder to keep the doors closed.

So yesterday we took my puppy Bailey for her first trip to the beach. She loved it. We were out a lot longer than when we would go on her usual walks so she was exhausted when we got back. So here are a few cute pictures.

So one week I was talking to my Mum about how I would like to get a Beagle and two weeks later I had one and my life is not my own anymore.
We only went to look at the puppies but £300 later Bailey was coming home.
She is now 13 weeks old. She’s pretty good about going to bed at around 8 and sleeping through the night. She loves her ducky toy, and her pirate chicken to alert me that she’s awake in the morning. Since Christmas day she is now allowed to go on walks so goes on short walks 3 times a day. She loves her Wainwrights pet food. She can bark and howl. We’re still working on sit and down and potty training. But she is very cute.
Shanna.
