Stuart_sacked_out

Beagles can be very intense about two major things in life:  sleeping and eating.  (Fortunately our Beagles are spayed and neutered, so we don’t have to worry about the third major thing in life.)  I got this photo above of deaf Stuart sacked out in a chair in our living room.  There’s something truly debauched — or at the very least, self-indulgent — about the sheer sprawling nature of that sleeping position.

I thought, where have I seen this before?  And then I remembered I had posted a similar photo of blind Widget in late December, sleeping off too much Christmas cheer:

Different dog, different chair covering, same decadence.

    It’s very tiring work being a beagle. They always know that somewhere there must be something to eat and it’s their job to find the morsel even if it is molicule sized. After a hard day of hunting (well wandering really) and trying to mooch some food a beagle needs a rest.

    At first glance I thought “she’s baaack” but I was fooled. After such sad news I was laughing at such an undignified sight. My condolences on your loss of Dolly and Snowball. It is heartbreaking but thank god they have a second chance for happiness at RDR.

    Obviously, these two are smart enough to know how to take advantage of the comforts in life.

    One look at Stuart and I know that Rolling Dog Ranch is heaven on earth for all his peers that seek sanctuary from difficulties of life that they have been thru. All I can say is thank you for all you do

    That is not specific to beagles. Our basset hound loves to lounge around in that less than ladylike position!

    Yup, that could be a photo of our Beagle, sprawled out, showing everything she has. No shame at all.

    We think our girl is border collie / lab, but now we have to consider beagle as well. 🙂

    I wish I could just “let it all hang out” like that. Love the pictures, and love those two Beagles!

    And that’s pretty much why we rescue beagles. They are the only dog I’ve ever met who can make you pee your pants laughing while you are so mad at them you could spit. They are goofy pretty much all the time, and they are that way just to get away with murder. A finely honed survival skill!
