Beagle Man Went To Dublin . . .

. . . and all I got was this lousy T-shirt! The Roof Rack Report (#roofrackreport on Twitter, for those who follow me already on @BeagleManHank) appears on Mondays, usually.  Actually, whenever Beagle Man decides to give me some space . .

My Weekend As Chopped Liver

Remember that weekend last month when I had three “accidents” in the Vermont house, and Beagle Man banished me for the rest of the season?  But I knew I’d get another chance when his grand-nephew Teddy came up?  Well, this was the weekend.  And honestly — I think I would have been better off if t…

Cooper, I’m Feelin’ Ya

Beagle Man, Mrs. B, and their friends watched  this video the whole weekend and could barely breathe, they were laughing so hard.  Me, I’ve seen it at least 100 times myself — and I still can’t figure out what Cooper’s doing wrong.

The Wolf Man Howls

I considered calling this post “Stupid Human Tricks.”  Greg’s friend Maggie brought this very strange T-shirt to the [caption id="attachment_4176" align="alignright" width="225"] Howlin’ Wolf Vermont house — with a wolf wearing Bose headphones and a nose ring.  Leave it to Beagle Man to…

Nailed It!

As you all know, I love Vermont.  Playing in all that fresh snow.  (And eating it.)  Smelling lots and lots of other S-T-R-E-T-C-H-I-N-G on my special throne animals — ones they don’t have around here.  Snuggling all cozy by …

What My Beagle Does When We Are Not Home

Lucy in the worldwide YouTube hit that everyone’s talking about . . . . . . and me in the sequel Yes, yes, of course you’ve already seen this video, whic…

The Mystery Gift

Luz got me a new squeaky toy for Christmas.  It’s hard to explain, but there’s just something about them . . . I absolutely love squeaky toys.  Maybe because playing with them makes me feel like a puppy again?  Good ol’ Luz!  Beagle Man gave me a stocking, full to the velvet cuff, with . . . all …

Ho, Ho, Ho!

Where’s Ricky? Day before Christmas.  Everyone in my house is running around tying up loose ends.  I guess I’ll do the same, since it appears nobody’s going to pay any attention to me.  I probably won’t even get fed.  Okay, f…

Really Lame Excuse

“Sorry, I had to give Robby a ride to practice.” How many times did I hear that line, or some variation of it, when Beagle Man would be running late for a doctor’s appointment or a dinner with friends?  And when he really screwed up, he’d play the sympathy card.  “Had to take Robby down to Greenw…

Smarts

Last month, another of those “10 Smartest Dog Breeds” lists came out.  This one had beagles at #4.  Now let’s think about this.  Dogs don’t take SATs or ACTs or Wonderlic tests, so what, exactly, are we going by?  How easily we can be trained?  Border collies and German Shepherds are ranked ahead…
