thanks so much Karyn – she is a super little dog and we are getting to know each other better by the day. She is full of fun but calm and gentle too.

Thank you ever so much Becky 🙂 I love the sound of your cheeky dog!

Your dogs sound adorable! Maybe it is different here – Dora is coming along nicely – she can sit, fetch and touch but we still have puddles!

thank you Rose 🙂

Reading all these comments from the others I have feeling that in UK rules of adoption may be harder than here in the Netherlands. Or may be it’s because our first “second chance” beagle we got via our breeder – just contacted her and asked if there is one looking for the new home right now (she once mentioned retiring dogs – after age of 7-8 they are not allowed to breed anymore and some professional breeders then looking for a warm family to get such dog and have fun together for what’s years left) – and she called us literally half an hour later – to tell that there is Bobby who may be exactly perfect addition to our family if they have “good sniff” with our Frodo. Ever since we got (from her) Frodo we stayed in touch, bringing him every vacation we go away to the dog’s pension she runs (actually Beagle pension – and beagles coming from her originally have priority in getting place there 🙂 ) – so she knew all our circumstances and that we know what we gonna get with taking a beagle. Same with Pipa – there was long questionary list to fill, representative of the 4everHome visited us at our place to see all with her own eyes (poor lady had to share her chair with Bobby, who thinks every chair around the table is for sharing – but she didn’t mind) and I guess our breeder also had a kind word about us (she once in a while provides foster staying place at her pension for poor things that have no other place to be)… About 26 solicitors (Pipa is VERY charming young lady-doggie and her picture for that adoption, I suspect, was made by a professional photographer), but we won :). I think it has a lot to do with the fact I’m not working and that our area is known for good walking pads allover (and that we already have two beagles :)). Sorry for chatting non-stop – once I begin about dogs…

Keep us posted about Dora, please! I always love reading your “furry updates”:).

She does! She’s like a Beanie Baby :-))
