Old Blue Sue..

I had a call for an Old Blue Sue update.

Well, here she is! And guess what...

She is half Beagle!

Or that is our nearest guess.

Her tail is a beagle-type tail that bends over her back

with the white tip.

And when she runs in the woods it is with

nose down and in a zigzag pattern.

She has topped out so far at only 23 pounds

and is very short and long.

We are a bit bummed

as we were hoping for a bigger dog.

And she has hit the teenage years and is a chick killer.

Not to worry though.

I have hopes that this is not that big of a deal.

When I catch her at it and give the command to "leave it"

she happily trots over to me and sits down.

And she doesn't bother the big birds.

We are getting her a shock collar

and hope that after a very brief number

of corrections she can be off her lead

if the little birds are out.

She listens to me just fine,

but won't listen to Sweet Husband

for anything. In fact, she gets really

extra bad when he is around.

We need to work on that.

She was nuetered this week

as it is that time. No troubles at all.

I need to work her more and spend more time with her

now that my back is better.

She is a lovely girl and very happy

and very good...for me.
