My New Friend
Last Monday, June 25th, we were taking a walk at work when this flea-ridden creature was sitting by the guard's shack taking a nice little scratch at himself. The guard of the building I work in kept trying to "shoo" him away. I, however, instantly befriended him. He needed some work done at the vet's, like being neutered and dewormed, but he is a very adorable little beagle who has found out at four or five years of age that he loves humans. When I found him he was starved and hadn't yet been neutered, and didn't even have a collar with a name tag on, so I knew he was not well cared for. He still needs a lot of work, like obedience training which will start July 11th, but he has captured my heart. He is my new little four-legged friend. This now makes number five. It started in 1998, and I don't see any end in sight. Meet "Peabody", the beagle:

You are an angel; the gods will remember.
amen!
Goatman, what you said today gave me such a big smile, and pleasant spirit chills, too. Thank you. I was talking to him today and I told him that I think something divine put him in my path. He's definitely here to teach me patience! The vet said he is four or five years old, but I know he is a puppy, still. He looks like one, smells like one and acts like one, too. He even still had intestinal worms like puppies often have. But that puppy smell is unmistakable.
Ghetufool, bless you! :)
yep girl, you are wonderful, have a fine heart.
Welcome Mr. Peabody! You couldn't have found a more wonderful home had you tried.

Jim, somewhere out in the people-making factory they got my parts all mixed up. The part that usually causes females to start wanting children was dysfunctional in my mechanics. Instead, they replaced it with a part that causes me to think that animals are my children!
Christi, Awww! Shucks, thanks girl. :)
I'm wondering how your little puppy is doing. I wonder if, after its bath, does it still have that cute little puppy smell? That's a scent that is precious. It is sweeter than any flower.
She definitely still has the puppy smell (and puppy breath to boot!). It's amazing how quickly they grow - I've never been able to experience a puppy this young before and she's such a doll that I can't believe she wasn't in my life before now.
We need to get the pups together for a pupdate (and us for dinner or what-have you!)

I think our dogs would get along well. We have determined that Peabody is actually a puppy. He exhibits all the traits of a puppy, so very very clearly the vet was wrong about its age. He even physically resembles a puppy.
I am so happy that you get to experience having a puppy, Christi. It will bring you joy. (And it will also test your patience!) Everyone should experience having a puppy at least once in their life. I am sure your children will learn a lot about life through that little guy. My dogs during my childhood taught me a lot about things, like basic caring (food and water, etc.). The best lesson of all, though, is unconditional love.
