Silly, I think your friends are the ones who are ridiculous. I cannot believe they even cared (let alone commented) on where he can poop. It is in the yard for crying out loud! Whatever.

Our two dogs (also beagles) can go where ever they want in the house. (We'll not go like poop or pee) but they ca sleep, sit, hang out where ever they want. Beagles are pack dogs meaning they like constant companionship.

You shoulda taken his mom back when ya got him! But you can certainly find an already housetrained beagle. Just do a little searching. There are plenty of beagle rescue sites and petfinder.com.

Don't let your friend's comments bother you. They are the rude ones...

Thanks everyone. I guess I just needed to hear some support. Buddy is our first dog (meaning DH, DD and I). My friends have a dog too, so I guess it was kind of like a "my kid is better then your kid" issue.

Julieboo-I think about that all the time, that I should have taken his momma. I still want to get another pup, but im not sure if they will let us adopt one. I would like to do that, but they turned us down before because of dd. Now that we have buddy maybe they won't be so quick to say no.

Silly - he is adorable, I love Beagles. I would give those friends a big fat raspberry! Crikey, me and dh bought a king size bed at one point so that it would accommodate us both and Jasper, (Oscar doesn't sleep with us.....yet). And I will admit to the fact that he was a big consideration when we bought our home (yard wise) and of course paid to have the yard fenced in etc etc, need I go on. To me, as it seems to be to everyone on the board here, our pets are not just our pets, they are so much more.

Silly: What rude people! Your dog is your dog and if he is a cuddlebug, then so be it! I personally want my dogs to love to sit in my lap.. Well, once they get big enough, to cuddle up beside me. And as far as other people complaining about where YOUR dog poops, very sad, very sad. It does sound like a my kid is better than your kid thing. Don't let it bother you, like the rest of us have said. Just love your doggy.

Pfft on their comments. I assume he wasn't jumping on them, right?

Where he poops is none of their concern...

First of all, there is no such thing as "just a dog."

Your "friends" need to get over themselves. No doubt you could find fault with some of their dog's habits too.

When my boys were pups, they just loved to rumble and tumble and wrestle about the house. At six months, they were already 60 pounds, so the wrestling matches did get pretty noisy and rough and furniture moving at times. My older sis would come over and make snitty remarks about them being so noisy and stuff. But I wasn't about to admonish them for their play time! Then I went over to her house, and her dogs were doing the same thing. It just wasn't as noticable, cause they were ankle biter size!

Nowadays, I go over to her house, and her one dog "marks" my mom's pillow within a few minutes of us being there. Her other dog tries to snatch food right off our plates, etc. They really are out of control, and grown up and old enough to know better! It always makes me realize what a very good boy Bomba is.

Silly, you are not in the wrong. It is YOUR house, YOUR dog, YOUR RULES. You do what you deam necessary.

If your friends have an issue with it, then they don't need to visit, now do they.

Thanks everyone. I have decided that I am going to make a sign that you can see right when you walk into our home that says the following:

These are my pets
I love them best.
This is their home.
You are the guest.
So if you should find
My pets a peeve,
Then by all means,
Feel free to leave


that'll teach em!

That is a GREAT poem Silly!

Okay!!! So today was P-Day, aka Puppy Day! My fiance, Jonathan, and I went and got our puppies tonight. I took some pictures of them with their litter mates before we left, then some photos here at my place. They are all so cute, i must post them all. We still have not named the blonde pup, so if anyone has any ideas, let us know. We've vetoed buttercup, butterscotch and caramel.

Photo numero uno!
This is Mocha where she was sleeping before we got there.



Photo 2!
Mocha and the nameless one.



Photo 3
Let's see, Mocha is in this one, the the one that looks like the mom and then one of the blonde ones. I can't remember is that's ours or the other one.



#4
All of the puppies.



#5
Mocha, on my bed.



#6
The unnamed one on my bed, plopped between Jonathan's legs.



Okay, that's all folks, sorry there were so many, but I'm doubting many of you mind as they are all SOOO cute. remember, any name ideas? Please share!

I have always been partial to the name of Nanook (sp) from watching The Lost Boys so many darn times!

Hooray! You got both of them!

Well, I've heard Juju is always a good name for a pup.

Our dear departed Golden Retriever/Samoyed mixed girl was named Honey Bear. It was such a perfect name for her. She was definetly the color of honey.

Or if you want a coffee themed set, try Googling "Mocha and " and see what pops up. Could be some sort of pairing that might catch your eye. Maybe thats a silly thought. I dunno.

Are they boys or girls? What sex is the blonde one?
Do you want something to match Mocha? Like Latte? Java? Expresso?

Saxy, they are so cute! You're going to have a blast with them and I'm so thrilled you decided to take both. It's definitely easier, in the long run. :-)

Start the drum roll, but slowly! Norman is booked to arrive August 2 at 4:45pm! Keep some very positive thoughts that nothing gets in the way! :-)

Both are girls. They've kept us on our toes so far. Mocha has peed on the pad a couple times after being set on it. The blonde one has only peed outside. They are doing well as well, being separated. They slept pretty well in their kennel, and now they are back in their kennel for naptime cuz mommy and daddy (me and my fiance) are ready to go back to bed. LOL Keep the name ideas coming!! :-D

How about Toffee?

f, Kstme!

Well, I haven't been in here since we missed Little Max. Didn't want to jinx anything.
We were approved by a North Dakota shelter to adopt Charlie-Bob, a 2 year old Bichon Frise.
CB

Next Friday, we will be meeting one of the shelter volunteers in Minot. She is going to the fair there and saving us a few hours drive by bringing Charlie with her.
Dh can hardly wait, but I am a bit weary, because someone from the shelter told him that Charlie was a "runner". Sounds like some strenuous training in our future to cure him of that. We live close to a main road. Yikes!

Saxy she looks like a "Joyful" to me but don't worry...they usually name themselves. Lucee was going to be "Gracie" but we kept calling her Lucee instead. Just met a bulldog named "Lois Lane" and the name was so perfect.
Congratulations Lumbele! Charlie looks like a doll.

Thanks, everyone.
Mocha, I guess he takes off any and every chance he gets. Will have to remember to enter and exit the house carefully. No more standing in the doorway, chatting, or we'll have to form a posse and round up Charlie-Bob.LOL

Saxygirl, Juju is a terrific name for a doggie of either sex.
