Freedom!

I got to ride in the big truck the other day, and we had the big white house on wheels behind us. That meant we were going somewhere. Yippee!

I didn't know where we were going, but I didn't care. I just knew there would be new things to sniff, new things to see, new territories to mark.

My human nearly got us in an accident when he almost hit some other human stopped in the middle of the road. If I could have gotten out, I'd have gone and given him a piece of my mind. And, before you ask, yes beagles have minds. We just don't mind all the time. That's a little beagle pun, by the way.

My stay here so far has not been as much fun as I'd hoped it would be. We've spent most of our time inside, but I can't blame my human too much. It has been windy and wet, and I don't care much for water except to drink it once in a while.

Still, I did get to go out and about a few times so i could say hello to the neighbors. Most of them aren't of the same social class, but one must be polite. Even a mutt has feelings, I guess.

My human has promised if the weather gets better he'll take me for a nice long walk. That would be divine. There'd be plenty to see and sniff, and afterward, I could take a nice long nap. A beagle's life can be pretty good sometimes.

Bark. Bark. Howl.
