bad beagle.....

[Martin 2,133]

i mentioned in another thread that mike (squonk) and ken b werent the only ones who have naughty beagles.....

well i wanted to start a thread on all the nonsense that our beagle 'max' gets up to. tonight he gave me a real good one to start off with. see, we have a keurig coffee machine that uses the k cups. up until about an hour ago we kept the k cups in a bowl on the table in our kitchen. here is the bowl...

seems that somebody developed a taste for them.......

now we are about to go to bed and he's not looking the best. he got 4 of them from what i can find. anybody find it easy to go to bed on 4 cups of coffee???

:ROTF: We had a Beagle when I was a kid. Great Dog but dnt cool your pies on the window sill.

He looks so guilty Martin.

I think that look is the " go to bed, I dare you" look! Our house is mostly Beagle proofed. Our room is off limits, Shiloh screwed around in there once and had momma on her a$$ for 4 days as only a momma can. :*****: Dog has no interest in messing with momma again! :text-imsorry:

we allways had beagles growing up . dont remember them getting into too much , but they all seemed to be runners. my ST bernard's head is counter height and she does not touch anything. kids leave food on TV trays and she wont touch it even if were not home. greatest dog i have ever had. .

My Beagle Mollie has managed to force us to put a bungee on the refrigerator door so she can't open it. We also have one on our freezer. The cat food is in a secure place along with the box of instant mashed potatoes. There several holes in my back yard where she goes foraging for bugs ( mostly crickets). We can't keep napkins on the kitchen table for some reason either. She's getting up in years now so she demands a sweater for cold days and roads made in the yard for snow over 4".She's stubborn. We named her after my Grandmother!

thanks for the stories of your beagle experiences guys, lets make this thread about crazy or bad behaving dogs, doesnt have to be a beagle if you dont have one, although im looking forward to hearing more beagle stories, ive been around this breed since before i could walk, grew up with them, mum and dad had 3 of them over the 25 years or so i lived at home. then i was away from them for a while and moved over here. when jeanine wanted to get a second dog, i wanted the kids to grow up with one as well. awesome family dog, behave very badly around food though.....

max is still young and he likes the snow, as long as the air temp is around 30. if its real cold out, he acts like a lizard in the desert with his feet, lifting one or more legs up for a few seconds, and then swapping over to another for a bit. on the other hand, our other dog, teddy, a choc lab, will go out there and lay in it, until you call him inside. now max will lay in it if there is a lot out there, but only if he is peeing in it while laying there.

he hates the grass, wont lie outside in the summer time unless his dog cable reaches out to some concrete. bugs and nats in the grass drive him absolutely nuts. i think kent took this next one about 2-3 weeks ago, big pile of snow in the back yard from our only measurable fall late last year that the boys piled up, max decided that the cold is still better than the grass......

Our beagle is gone now but we came home one day to find that she had gotten a new loaf of bread off of the kitchen counter and ate the whole thing.

Out of all of the dogs I have had Emma our Beagle is absolutely the most naughty. Just last week I had a brain fart, I had just opened a big bag of Dorito's. Some new Fire Taco flavor. I didn't really care for them too much myself. I went outside for about 15 minutes and when I came back in..... If you guessed that Emma ate them then you are correct! She ate the whole bag! Big bag to. Lets just say that for the next few days it wasn't pretty and she had some issues. Then there was the time she swallowed a thigh of chicken whole! My dinner, and right off the dining room table! Very naughty Beagle. But she looks so innocent.

I had a Schnoodle...great dog. One day, my brother in law comes over to the house. I had a small garden, and I was growing banana peppers. My brother in law likes hot stuff. I picked one for him to taste and was holding it in my hand. Frisky jumps up and takes a big bite of the pepper in my hand. HEHEHE...all of a sudden the dog starts trying to cough up the pepper and is wiping his tongue on the grass. I thought he was going to die. I ran down into the basement grabbed his bowl and a beer and went back out and poured the beer into his bowl. He drank the whole beer and then went over by the garage and laid on his back with his feet up. What a riot...we were bent over. That dog never jumped up and took anything out of my hand again...with out sniffing it first.

Martin...great pictures of the bad Beagle...they just look so guilty. :)

I had two beagles when I was a kid. They were brothers from the same litter and were absolutely inseperable. Names: Ralph and Norton.

Ralph was high strung and high maintenance. Any accident that involved either of the dogs seemed to involve Ralph. He was a good dog, but a real piece of work.

Norton was smart And LAZY. That dog wouldn't expend any extra energy doing anything. On one rabbit hunting excursion we were headed down I-70 and Ralph was bouncing from window to window in the back of the truck looking out. All the while Norton was sitting up on his haunches "begging" right in the center of the truck bed swivelling his head to look out the windows. No bump would unsettle his pose and he rode like that for probably 45 minutes.

Great dogs. Ralph passed about 2 years before Norton and Norton seemed to mourn the whole 2 years.

Now, I have a mix from the shelter. Another great dog!

I got nothing against cats, but man do I love dogs!

Great stories guys. Mine involves my Springer Spaniel "Murphy". Murphy likes any food left within his reach be it on the table or counter. When Murphy was just a puppy, I took him to work for the day. We had a small break room where one of the girls had set a plate of leftover pizza for her lunch. Well she went back to the refrigerator for something and yep, Murph took both slices and had them swallowed in a nano second. Of course he's eaten the full loaf of bread, a bag of peanuts but non of these top the story I'm about to tell you although the peanuts really took a lot out of him for a day or two .

After we sold our house we rented a condo and had to do poop patrol every time we took Murphy out. Murph hadn't been acting right for a few days, kind of quiet and not as active as usual and having a problem doing his duty. Although he still found time to get into the trash basket in the kitchen. So I took him to the Vet's for a checkup. The Vet thought he might have a gastro issue and prescribed an anti gas medicine for him and sent us home. So we're out on the leash and Murph does his duty. I take my handy dandy plastic bag and reach down to pickup the golden nugget and feel something stiff in it. I'm thinking I picked up a leaf stem or something. Well this doesn't feel like a leaf stem so I take a closer look. Well a few days before this we had city chicken. For those of you unfamiliar with city chicken it is alternating cubes of pork and veal skeward on a 5-6 inch long stick. Yep, Murphy had gotten into the trash and swallowed a whole city chicken stick. Swallowed not chewed. The stick had passed through his entire system without damage to Murphy or the stick. It was just as stiff when it came out as when it went in.

[Fun Engineer 859]

Almost forgot. When Murph was about 4 he ate some mushrooms in the back yard. I got home from work just about the time the mushrooms went to work on his nervous system. He greated me at the door and passed out limp as a noodle. Rushed him to the Vet's not knowing that he had eaten the muchrooms so the vet just started treating him with a saline solution and asking us lots of questions. Long story short, it must have been the mushrooms because in about 30 minutes he was back to normal. One night in the vets ER and $600 later we had our crazy dog back. He never ate any mushrooms after that.

I , we had a pack of beagles and coonhounds since before my time, used to tell people I cut my teeth on a hounds ear, Good ones, bad ones didnt last long, and a few probably 3 that belonged to my father growing up and a beagle I was lucky enough to own that I swear could have carried on a intelligent conversation if they could have spoke. Got completely out of them a few years back,urban sprawl just got to hard to deal with running dogs. Had lots of fun, Like the time I had a pup delivered to me from NC to a hunt about 50 miles from here. Left keys in ignition put pup in truck went to take care of paperwork and came out to a locked truck, I finally gave up on trying to get him to step on the unlock button and had a set of keys delivered, Yes, It was a beagle. I kicked alot of brush with ole wizzard.When he passed of old age It only took a few more years for me to hang up my leashes.

but I'm not all bad......

Along with Mollie I have a Choc Lab named Morgan. She's too smart for her own good. When she wears us out playing ball she'll toss the ball to herself.

We used to have another Beagle named Patti, We took the dogs camping. Patti rode in the back of the van. Our first night my wife went looking for the candy bars she brought. They somehow vanished. We got thinking she forgot to pack them. Next afternoon I took Patti for a walk and I found them. wrapper and all! :)

My pup Rusty would do the same thing Mike. I'd play ball with him every night for about an hr. When he wore me out he'd kick the ball around himself and then chase it over and over. He was only 9 months old but he was at least 3 times smarter than Emma. He was 2 months old when I got him and within a week he learned to sit, stay and give his paw before he ate his chow. Not Emma! oh my gosh you'd think she wasn't fed for a week every time its chow time she is so outta control. Its funny how dogs can be so different.

wow mike, morgan looks alot like our lab, teddy........

[squonk 43,573]

We have an antique brass bucket that was my Grandparents and Morgan has claimed it as her toy box. She will drag out ropes,kongs, lacrosse balls ect and have them strewn all over. Her favorite is a small basketball my neighbor (who she adores) gave her. She'll get that out and bat it all over. Our Small cat Tobie likes to wrestle around with her.

[Ken B 3,189]

Martin I saw in a post your naughty Beagle was behaving in the car. All around Emma is a pretty good girl. What I think she does before she commits naughtiness is she weighs her options and the possible punishment before she does naughty things. I NEVER hit her, she just loses any possibilities of getting a Chewy for a few days when she commits a naughty. She LOVES Chewie rawhides.

Now, SHE LOVES CAR RIDES. Emma is on her absolute best behavior when she is in the car. She will sit right next to you with a big old smile on her face and relish every single moment of a truck ride. She might take in a little breeze next to the window now and then but for the most part she sits there and just loves it. If you so much as mention the word RIDE in any conversation and she hears that word (even if she is in another room, she'll come runnin) and you better believe it, you are gonna take her for a ride or she WILL NOT leave you alone until you do. High maintenance she is.

[squonk 43,573]

We used to have a big old hound dog. He liked rides. He would get in the car and not get out UNLESS you took him for ice cream and then showed him the cows at a nearby farm. You would not be able to get him out of the car without doing that. No way When we first moved in a neighbor left her car door open and Dexter got in. I was at work. The lady knocked on our door and my wife answered. The lady says "you got a big hound dog?" My wife says "yes". The lady says "He's in my car and won't get out. My wife explained to her what she had to do. The lady finally gave in and took him for the ride. My wife went along and paid for the ice cream. Then we had a Demo car at our house getting it ready for a derby. All the windows were out of it and the doors welded shut. He got on the hood and dove in. It took 5 of us to get him out of that thing. My wife took him for ice cream after that one too.

These two clowns loved the car, woody on the left, Archie on the right. I had Archie the Cocker for 17 yrs. Cockers can be a real pain in the rear but not Archie. He could do no wrong in my eyes, He loved EVERYONE and he went just about everywhere with me. He never once barked, he'd only howl. Back in the day we had a camper that we kept at a campground in Litchfield CT. Now, before we got in the car to head to the camper for the weekend I would make sure Archie to care of his businees before he got in the car. WITHOUT FAIL every single time halfway there you could smell the dog muffin from the back seat! I think the excitement of the car ride made him do it so he never got yelled at.

We had Woody the Weimaraner for almost 8 yrs when a brain tumor took him from us much too early. He was a big galoop that always wanted to sit in yer lap. He loved the car but he'd trash it because he was so excited. He didn't get into too much trouble, especially being that this breed is known for never ending energy. 9pm was Woody's bedtime by his own chioce, and I mean on the nose. He'd get my son and practically drag him into bed.

Did I mention Emma loves boat rides? Not only that but she loves to go tubing as well! I'd take the Master Craft upto 30 mph with her and my older son in the tube and she just ate it up. She doesn't care for being in the water much though! She sure is a pip.
