Hi and welcome to COL!
I am Uli and have Paula, a solid black show type bitch of 3 1/2 years. Molly seems to have found an ideal place to live with you, a Beagle, a cat, rabbits and a garden. Paula comes with me to my Düsseldorf office every day and she has fallen in love with a Beagle pup in the neighbourhood. Would love to see pics of your doggies...

Well the sleepover went perfect! Took her back yesterday afternoon. But going back tomorrow, to bring her home!! iv got 3 days off work after today, so will be great to settle her in
and make sure the rest of mini zoo happy.

You're right about beagles going deaf once they get a scent. Megan's pretty good at recall, (we got to silver in the good citizen award) so long as nothing else has caught her attention lol! I normally keep her on a long line though, just to make sure I don't lose her (too many beagles go missing for my comfort), unless we're at the beach, and then she gets a proper free run - not seen any beach bunnies  :005:

Oohh I wonder if Molly has even been to the beach?? Really excited about bringing her home! She just loved the garden! And rolling round on the grass! Lovely and very funny to watch lol.

From her photo, do you all think she is a worker? I was wondering that myself, but  I'm a complete novice about it.

This site is lovely btw, all very friendly, very glad iv found it! I'll post more pics soon!

Hi all, thought I'd give a quick update on Molly's progress.

She's settled in so well, feels like she's been here a lot longer than 5 weeks! Don't think her tailas stopped wagging!  We've had to do some work with her walking ona lead - don't think she was trained how to walk on one in previous home. Wants to pull me as fast as she can in the direction she wants to go. So its been a case of start, stop, rewind, go forward q1 step and repeat  :005: :005:

But she's sorta learning to walk by my side... Eventually we'll get there I know.

Also had to teach her what her name is, as she didn't seem to recognise it.

She's such a cracking little dog though, love watching her exploring the new places iv been taking her to. She's even got some muscles on her legs now!

She's coped with a completly New routine so well! Love her to bits already  :luv:
