Our neighbour's were out of town for a week and we volunteered to look after their dog, Dexter. He's the little guy on the left.
Now Dexter is an absolutely cute, full of energy little bundle! I was leaning on the idea of getting another dog but I've kind of put that aside. Don't take me wrong, I love Dexter. You see one of the neighbours in the area cautioned me not to get another furry friend. Why? I asked...Well...the response: 2 different schedules, 2 different personalities and put that together and you have a lot of work. So March break week was quite hectic. We were thrilled to have Dexter over. He would wake up at 7am and Winston would want to sleep in until 9:30am but he reluctantly woke up to play with his buddy. As you can imagine, poor Winston was suffering from lack of sleep - he would hide upstairs under the bed so that he could catch up on his sleep in the afternoons.
We had double the tennis balls under the couch, the water bowls would turn upside down with their crazy antics. Yes it was fun to watch and clean up!
We had to watch our Winston to make sure he wouldn't devour all of Dexter's food. Beagles love food! But all in all, it was a memorable experience and Dexter was a good boy. I know that I'm not ready for another pup in the house. After all, Winston loves his naps and me too!
And if we really miss having 2 dogs in the house, all we have to do is go next door and bring home our dear Dexter for a couple of hours!
