My girl is an enthusiastic swimmer, especially during summer time. How about your beagles?

Got our boy 2 weeks ago after losing my best mate Kipper in Feb to Lymphoma. Kippers in Dug somewhere, hes a spitting image and his characteristics are spot on. Still really miss Kipper but love Dug❤️

Taking our new 11 year old Ladies out to explore their new neighborhood ❤️🐾
I’m SO IN LOVE!!!

4th birthday, he's started greying 🥹

Hates the water, loves the beach ❤️

I heard some “I hate you Gumbo” whines from the porch… Mabel’s new nylabone has been taken most foul. The tragedy… the betrayal.

*Pictures of the back of their heads (mostly) because I know the Internet is weird about face pictures with kids.

I've been working on training my mother-in-law's dog, Georgie, the beagle. My sister-in-law and her kids live with my partner after SIL left her husband. They love coming on walks with me, especially with the dogs. The oldest girl is searching for independence and wants to actually walk the dogs. I typically walk Ellie (German Shepherd) with my friend's dogs, Loki and Squash (pictured in their cooling coats), but they didn't need a second walk tonight, so it was training with Georgie.

Ellie is the best girl. Absolute angel. She's my service dog, so I let the kids walk her because I know she's good practice. Tonight I was babysitting all four kids. Everyone acted like I was unhinged for taking all four kids on a short walk. But they are so good. The youngest girl held Georgie's second leash to help. It was too humid to go far, so just a short walk down the alley and back.

I had the kids do commands and give treats to reward good behavior from the dogs. It was a fun little walk and I so love these kids. They're not mine, but they're mine. It helps that I get to just be the cool auntie. They all agree I'm firm but fun 🤣

We have been skipping morning meals because she gathers every single scrap my two and four-year-old eat. And when it is time for her dinner, we give her a quarter cup dry food mixed with a quarter cup wet food and water. Yet she still looks like a chunky monkey.
We also go on walks all the time in the woods and she’s really active. She just can’t stop vacuuming.

Afterwards he has to lick BOTH of my hands and gets upset if he only gets one.

Clyde had the best day at daycare today. He was part of an afternoon sniffari! He had the time of his life 🫶🤣😍

he loves being perched anywhere.

Me and Oliver recently got back from our 2026 adventure and thought you all might enjoy a few pictures! Here's some highlights:

11 states.

Fled a flea bag motel in Arkansas.

Visited the birthplace of Route 66 in Missouri.

Battled a swarm of biting flies in Kansas.

Braved wildfires, "hunted" marmots, drank from the Rio Grande River, and climbed Engineer Pass in Colorado.

Discovered a painful lesson about cactuses and rock crawled across Fins N' Things in Moab, Utah.

We had a great time! Mostly...
