Further developments

As expected the rules have moved even further - the humans have made a couple of amendments after 'pressure' by us ( sad eyes, licks, whimpers etc).
Rule 4 ... " The Beagles can get on the old furniture only"
Rule 5 ... "Fine, the Beagles are allowed on all the furniture,, but are not allowed to sleep on the bed with the humans."
Rule 6 ... "OK the Beagles are allowed on the bed, but only by invitation."
Rule 7 ... " The Beagles are not allowed under the covers."

We have not been able to break that one ... yet!

Developments

There have been rumblings at our house from our humans. They have been talking about "rules" for us beagles to follow. Well we are not sure exactly what they mean, but it sort of smells trouble. However we are confident that with our wily ways, pathetic eyes, and cute hang dog looks we will be able to manipulate things to our advantage.
They said that they will introduce these rules slowly to see how they work. We will keep you posted. The first rule is "The Beagle is not allowed in the house!" ...... no way are we going to go along with that one...... it has now been amended to "OK the beagle is allowed in the house but only in certain rooms!"
rule 3 ;- "OK the Beagle is allowed in all the rooms but has to stay off the furniture"
We will report on rule 4 tomorrow!!!

dog or leopard?

We have seen pictures of big cats lolling in trees, and the special way they sit, hanging their paws over the edge of the branch. Every body thinks this is cute of course, which is maybe why sis (Tilly) decided to try it out on the back of the sofa!!

Waiting patiently

We have noticed a strange thing about our humans..... they sometimes go out - out of the door and out of the garden and off in the car (we watch this sometimes). They never tell us where they are going, although they do say that they will be back soon. Sometimes they come back with bags of goodies which we try to get into, sometimes not. Sometimes they go together, sometimes not. Sometimes it's during the day sometimes not.It's all a bit of a mystery to us. One good thing is that whenever they leave they give us treats, and whenever they come back they give us treats, that part we like. We don't like being without them, but we feel sure they will always come back. Just to make sure we keep watch. Here are some photies of us keeping watch from the lounge window.
