Decided to get a beagle puppy

This site will be solely dedicated for our future beloved beagle, whom we decided to call him/her inu, the Japanese version of 'dog', after we have been long struggling with his/her name.

Beni was the first beagle that I took great care of. She was 7 years old, should be 8 by now. She is a very beautiful (tricolor) and smart beagle. I jogged/walked her twice a day before I went to work and after I came back from work. She always greeted me half way on the stair at my shoulder height by sticking her head out of the bars when I walked in the front door. Whenever I raised my tone and asked her “wanna go out? Wanna go out?”, her eyebrows would raise and she would rush to the front door and replied with high pitch barks. She liked to curl up and lean on my hip while sleeping and watching TV. She would wake me up for food almost every morning. She craved for food like no tomorrow, therefore I like to close her behind a door and hide her treats around the house and let her run furiously in the house to sniff for her treats. She would get disappointed (sort of angry) and walked up the stairs, peeked at me a few more times, last peek at the stair corner that blocks her sight to me, and eventually walked into her room and buried herself under the blanket after I kept refusing to quench her craving for food. We were together for a merely 2 months period and I always remember how excited you were while I met you the first time. After I left, D told me that you were waiting/sleeping in my room whole day for a few days and eventually walked out with a disappointing look on the face. I missed you so much too.

So much for Beni. I think D can write a whole book for you. Ever since then, we named our own beagle snoopy nini, who can mimic human talks and gestures, smile whole day, and sleep 18 hours a day. Nini refused we name our future beagle puppy nini again, or even nini junior and ah ni. I think nini is jealous and anxious after overhearing our plan to get another beagle puppy. She is afraid our love to her will be shared by her new friend. I can assure you that it won't happen, okay?

We visited a few pet shops and hardly saw any beagle puppies. Some looked weak, and some were taken like no time. Eventually, we made an appointment with a beagle breeder to see the little puppy last night. She was so cute, about 7-week old, round and sleepy face, tricolor, almost evenly distributed. The moment she landed on our compound, she started sniffing and exploring the area with her trembling foot, picking up anything she could find on the ground. We were thrilled with this little cute puppy and decided to check on her mom 2 days later before the final decision to pick her up as our life-long companion.
