it's true, rob. and i dont' think anyone could understand the beagle disgusting stuff attraction unless one actually owns/ed one. her nose is all but attached to the ground and her mouth isn't far behind, eating whatever "smells" interesting. |
Items my dearly departed Sparky thought "smelled interesting" and therefore chose to dine upon: flattened road-killed skunk, fish carcasses that had been buried for three days under a foot of dirt (she dug them up and ate them!), approximately 2 qts of vegetable oil I left in a humongous frying pan on the ground after frying a whole bunch of fish on outside fireplace, rabbit guts from a freshly cleaned rabbit, pickled pigs feet that a former neighbor used to heave into the woods behind the house, various dead or live critters she used to find.... the neighbors jack russel used to kill baby rabbits and bring them over for her to eat 
The fish carcass episode cost me around $200 in vet bills due to infections in her stomach lining from the bones.... the vegetable oil incident resulted in her hurling in three different rooms of the house... the rabbit guts escapade caused her to hurl almost on my mom's feet... the road kill skunk caper was the source of much consternation on my part trying to locate the friggin' skunk smell emanating from our backyard for three days.... yes Sparky was a wonderful dog.... |
Gee.... how'd she die? 
I've considered getting a beagle lately but you guys have talked me right out of it!! |
She died from a kidney infection - probably from something she ate. Beagles are actually great pets, they just aren't very bright. Once they learn the basics (how to whiz outside, etc) they are good dogs if you don't let them roam.

Which is the key...not letting them roam.
My dog will take off at any opportunity..usually he'll come home early the next morning...or earlier if it's cold like today.
