Three different Beagle barks

Three different Beagle barks - how to I speak?

I guess I will start with the fact that most Beagles will not be silent dogs. We enjoy saying out what we think and we can do it in three different ways. Usually I make a standard bark at daily things:

when I want attention,

when they leave me home alone,

when I am distressed,

when somebody comes to visit,

when I can't get my toys,

when I protect my home,

when getting a new treat,

when old ladies walk towards me,

when I see plastic or garbage bags.

Second, I am howling if I am sad or bored. Third, I make a throaty yowl to alert others I found a target or its smell. In general, there is always a reason for me to make sound. I bark when I am happy, excited, angry and scared.

What is funny fact is that at the puppy school my teacher said it is not normal if a dog tells the owner when is the correct time to go to pee. The more I looked around I saw it is common for us Beagles to notify our people of our issues. I have my ritual:

I sit correctly on one spot and yawn constantly.
If this does not work I start to whine or bark.

Do Beagles like water?

Made by Irene Ranneva When I was little I hated water, even small shower was total pain. I always thought it is a punishment. but after half a year I started to tolerate it. I don't enjoy it but I realised the less I struggle the faster the whole circus is over. Made by Irene Ranneva After the shower I head right for the nearest sofa and roll like mad. I think my mum is not that big of a fan when I make the whole sofa wet but she started it. I don't think I need a shower at all but she seems to wash me every time after rainy walks or muddy digging. The weirdest time was when I rolled in a liquid poop and she was washing me 5x in a row. Sometimes it is so hard to understand her.. At least a nice snack follows this procedure and these things I like, so I think we have found a half compromise. Made by Irene Ranneva Even though I don't like taking showers that much I love the sea. Although, most beagles really don’t like water and are...

How puppies are made?

I haven't written anything almost a year now but my life has changed a lot and I just have to let the world know. I am a mum now. I have 4 pretty puppies. 2 boys and 2 girls. As my humans call them: Välk; Täiskrae; Poolkrae and Stringi. Names come from the signs they have on their necks. Anyway lets start from the beginning. Me & Benji, our mating took place between 4th and 6th March 2017 but the first test run we did already on the 2nd March - didn't work at the first time though. Our babies saw the daylight on the 60th day of my pregnancy, 5th of May, which was also my human's birthday, but the counting of days may not be accurate because the actual mating and gestation can differ up to seven days. During heat time first week is the week when nobody can come near me. I am relatively defensive at every possible dog in the whole world. Mating, however, is perfect, starting from the ninth day, then female dogs turn their tales aside and are ready for mat...

Night at the hospital

These last days have been hard for me. I spent my night at the hospital and it turns out I have a bone pice in my tummy. At first they took blood samples but I did not want to stay there and give it so I made half of the doctors table bloody. Didn't work though and they still took what they needed. I tried to escape Xray table too so in the end there was 3 people holding me against the table. Awful!!! I also did not like to sleep there IN THE CAGE but the medicine they gave me made me feel less pain and my inflammation markers went down too. I am sure they were planning to keep me there for one more night but my people came to rescue me. We even got to go for a long walk and after one more Xray I could go home. I can sleep at my place again :) I still have one more Xray in the morning but I don't think they will make a surgery because already today the pice was smaller. I really need to be fine tomorrow because I am organizing a party on Saturday and I am not going to mi...
