Big Update

Wow where do I begin? Well.......we have added another set of paws to our beagle household by the name of  Mooky our little cornish beagle.
He is from Beagle Welfare and is 4 and a half years old and an absolute sweet heart. He has had a very unsettled life in his short years.
He has had no less than 5 homes (not including ours) and was incredibly over weight when we brought him home. Beagle males should ideally be about the 18kg mark, he was over 22kg. This meant he was unfit and wasnt use to exercise. However after putting him on a better diet and the correct amount of food daily we built up his walks and in the 11 weeks we have had him home with us he has lost just under a STONE and is just over 19kg. He is also running about with a new zest for life and loves the wind flapping his ears in the breeze whilst he chases Bella.

Bringing Mooky home has made me realise just how many beagles are not so lucky and really ignited my passion for getting more involved with Beagle Welfare. Why as a nation have we become a throw away generation?? Dogs (and other pets) are cast aside without any thought and deemed impossible/in the way the list is endless. The number of beagles I see on the rehoming list down to "a new baby is on the way!!!!" GRRR anyway its too late at night fo rme to debate!

So yes we have our little pack and they are the very best of friends :O) Bella has been very good at accepting another dog in 'her house' and its as if he has always been here. We do however have food issues and for this reason no chews are given unless the dogs are seperated and they are fed seperately. The problem is mooky eats his food in seconds and then heads to bell to snatch hers and she will fight for her food and twice Ive had a fight to break up-luckily its only been a mild fight with little nicks in the ears and nose. But even so its scary enough.

Mooky is taking part in a training class with our trainer and he is doing so well. He is another who is so eager to learn (he will do anything for food lol!!) his recall has improved no end. When he first came he didnt respond to his name when we called him.

In other news Bella turned 2 this week. I cant believe she is 2!!!!! She is still a cracking little girl and everyone who meets her falls in love with her. Mooky has given her a real spark and they are always following one another and snuggle up together which is so cute to see.

I will add some more blog tomorrow as I am so tired today from our long walk so ill just do photos now and catch up tomorow x
