Beagles!


        Since I featured Dan the beagle and his new house yesterday, I thought I should include a post about the rest of the beagles. These are the girls (from left to right): Lucy, Daisy, and Molly. Lucy and Molly are siblings and Dan and Daisy are siblings as well. That is why they look so much alike. This small pack of beagles is Lath's rabbit hunting group. And boy to they love to run!
        This picture was taken about two weeks ago. Lath and I took the beagles rabbit hunting. Dan went too, but he is a little anti-social and does not like to lay next to the girls. This trip was only Molly and Lucy's second time to go. They are a year old. Dan and Daisy are about two years old and are experienced rabbit runners. Molly and Lucy seem to be catching on. The only problem is that young, inexperienced beagles tend to run anything and everything. That day they ran two rabbits, a deer, a fox squirrel, and an armadillo. The trick is to get them to want to run only rabbits. Daisy runs only rabbits. Dan will run a deer sometimes, but mostly rabbits. So, now the pups just have to learn what they are and are not supposed to run. I thought they did very well for their second run and a good time was had by all.
