Doggie

During my time in Maryland, I've had the good fortune to be kept company by my best friend's beagle, Toby. With a penchant for microwave popcorn, and a peculiar affinity for digging his way under blankets whenever the opportunity presents itself, Toby has quickly become my second best friend.

It looks like he is waiting for some more popcorn. That is so cute. :)

POPCORN!!!!

Beagles are great (a little neurotic sometimes), and I love how their little noses sniff out the most inane things. What -do- they smell?

When Toby's human put a bag of popcorn in the microwave, Toby dashed in from the next room to position himself. I wasn't fast enough getting my camera out to catch him in the crouching position he held for the first 30 seconds.

I did not like the book, "Marley and Me" at all, because I was appalled at how someone would get a breed of dog that needs lots of space and keep it in a cage in a basement in a city and thinking that it getting bloodied from trying to chew its way out was funny.

Now there is a REALLY funny book called, "What the Dog Did" by Emily Yoffee, that is so good I have bought at least seven copies to lend out and give away. It is about beagles, so maybe your friend has a copy, if not, find one to read. It is howling funny, but teaches a lot about dog breeds, dog history, and dog training.

I rarely watch movies, and the film you disparage was hardly on my list of must sees, but now I definitely know not to waste my time with it.

Thanks for the book recommendation. I note that Yoffe writes for Slate, and has published some chapters of the book there. Have you read J. Allen Boone's Kinship With All Life?
