It's
a good life
Grace loves the natural logs in our yard, much better than cemented kennels or dog boxes found elsewhere! |

Our dogs do not always have to stay
in the same area, we move them to different pens for a change of environment.
(Much better than being in those off-the-ground hutches used & usually required
to raise many other beagles out there, or those monotomous cement
floor chainlink pens, which if not adequatly kept up can be a nightmare...)

Meet
Grace
(Miss Christina's favorite of all!)
This
girl is perfect! At night she sleeps in her crate or in the
bed, and during the day she'll grab a toy out of her toy basket and
snuggle up in her cuddler or on her blanket. What a doll!As soon as she comes in the door after being lose outside, she runs straight to her crate and wipes her paws off. We've taught her this very simply by always having a biscuit waiting for her return in the crate. So now she always runs there to check and see if there is one! We can also say "Get in yo bed" and she'll happily run and get in her crate, then look at us like "ooh Im so good!"
Grace is a mini khaki beagle, with light hazel/greenish eyes.

Nah nah I got here first!
Grace is a runt khaki female we kept from a standard mom and dad's litter. by feeding her carefully as a puppy and because we thought she was very petite boned and short legged, she was able to stay the size of a mini beagle. she is my very favorite dog of all time ! My constant companion in the house and yard. She is crate trained but usually sleeps with me, I love her company during the daytime when the kids are at school she keeps me going ! each day as I go about my day she is there like my shadow, laying down on the bed while I type the many many e-mails we get each day... as I walk up the hill she runs by my side off leash, trots over to her favorite fallen log and runs along the top of it ...She has a buddy "Chloie" the silver mini sized runt who visits her as a playdate in the house and yard sometimes...(shown above when she was a puppy playing with Grace,) Chloie turned out even smaller than Grace and she too was not born to a mini parent but had the genes from a mini ancestor somewhere in her bloodline that made her such a small dog ! Often runts turn out the size of a mini puppy or slightly larger than one born to a mini parent. Over the years we have selectively kept the smallest sizes to add in to our bloodline to decrease our size overall in the beagle line we raise to be house pets. Our standard size medium beagles are also small enough to be great indoor pets most are 13-14 inch which is a great size to be a family pet. these make great house pets and they are satisfied to be homebodies !
Chloe gets to come for visits , Grace enjoys having someone to run and play with too. When the two of them went off to the log that Grace likes to run on top of , I watched tiny Chloie run under the log looking up at Grace as they went along.... and the next day she too tried jumping up on it and running like on a balance beam... she fell off to one side and landed on her feet, when it got too high off the ground.. ( the log has lost its bark and is smooth and the limbs are gone so it looks like a light oak colored telephone pole laying on the ground across and up a hilly forest ). Chloie ran along the rest of the way on the ground under Grace again , and now she doesnt try to jump up on the log like my little surefooted grace she must have thought it was too high for her and is satisfied to run following older grace till she reaches the end and jumps back down to show off ! then she runs to find mom and the two follow me around as I do things in the yard or garden playing as we go. I think companionship is one of the main reasons we are selling more puppies these days to single people. The trend now seems to be to find a good companion dog for indoors so they have someone to come home to who is always happy to be with them !
