What does your GSD do when he hears thunder? My 110 lb GSD would would
try and get under the bed when he heard thunder, firecrackers or other
loud noises. He looked damn funny with his head under the bed and his
body, from the neck to the tail, sticking out.

Currently we have a Beagle mutt male. Worst thunder storm in the world
could go right over our house. He would just stand there.

I always save a bit for him when we're done... sweet revenge. g

Very cool pictures.

But, why'd you leave the rubber bands on?

Didn't want the lobsters grabbing where they shouldn't.

Beagle's are interested in only one thing and that is eating. They ignore
all other stimulus.

I don't' know.

My neighbor used to have beagles, and they did a good job of howling
all night.

Occasionally he'd take them rabbit hunting, so he said. Actually I
think he kept them around just to bug the neighborhood.

We actually have two Beagle mutts. A male and a bitch. We got the male
first in 2003. and the bitch a couple of years later. The male thought
we were doing him a favor bringing a young babe into the house for him
to hump all day and all night. After two days of the male trying to hump
the bitch he has never tried again. We never say the scene where the
bitch laid down the law but, ever since then the male has had to deal
with being a notch lower on the totem pole. I guess that's why he chases
the cat around the house so much.

Ours Beagle's spend their time in the backyard squirrel hunting. They've
only caught one in two years. And, they only bark when a neighbor is
mowing the lawn or when the wife's car is driving down the street coming
home.

You need a full-sized Maine coon cat to straight out those pooches.

Once the current cat dies we are done with cats.

Beagles are hound dogs, and will pick up a scent and will follow it
forever, so they are a very popular dog for hunting.

Too bad. Maine coon cats are great pets.
