A Howling Good Time

Now THIS is a dog that knows what he wants…and he isn’t afraid to let you [and everyone else] know it!!  I met rerun and his mom Pam at a nearby park on a warm Sunday afternoon.  Since rerun never visited this park before, he was busy doing what Beagles do….keeping his nose to the ground and sniffing EVERYTHING!   Beagles, after all, are scent hounds and they are always on the trail of SOMETHING.  We stopped for a moment to chat with some people, but rerun wanted to keep walking.  That was when the howling began.  I have never heard a dog howl so loudly!  Holy cow!  The sound echoed throughout the valley…it was just insane!  As we walked around the lake, rerun would howl because he wanted to go in a certain direction…or he would howl when he saw another dog….or he would howl so that new friends would come and pet him or he would howl just because!  People were coming up to us and saying, “Oh, THAT’S what we heard on the other side of the lake!”  rerun was becoming quite famous!  Oh, by the way, he doesn’t capitalize his name.  It’s “rerun”, not “Rerun”.   He absolutely had us laughing all afternoon.  At first he wanted no part of posing for photographs, but after a little while he became quite the model, especially when he was rewarded with carrots!    AAARRROOOOOOO!
