<br />My Mam let me loose today and what's more I got to play fetch with the ball! Ruby tried to spoil it by pinching my ball and not giving it back to Mam but after a few rugby tackles I managed to get the game back on track. My Mam seemed really pleased when I brought the ball back - let's just say there were treats involved.

<br /> Still fuming that Oscar got all the praise for coming back - daft dog - I always come straight back (he didn't even know it was called "recall"). He has such a lot still to learn!!!Oscar the Beagle!http://www.blogger.com/profile/09038885377917108097noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488179058149431900.post-64540716155238360602011-01-20T05:55:00.000-08:002011-01-20T06:41:31.300-08:00My life with a stalker - by OscarHello there!<br /><br />I can't believe we're back on our blog and already we have had quite an adventure this week! My mam took us for a walk on Tunstall Hills, I love it up there, lots of lovely smells, not to mention the tasty black balls I can eat (Mam doesn't approve, I think they must be fattening or something?!). So there we were, Me and Ruby (the pesky little sister) and Jan (that's what humans call my mam) when all of a sudden I realised I had a stalker. This stalker took the form of an English Pointer, quite handsome Jan said, but being a bloke I couldn't say. Well, at first Ruby thought that it was our friend Peter, but I told her straight away that she was wrong and it wasn't!!!(daft dog).<br /><br />Well, I'm all for saying hello (as far as us dogs can say anything!!??) but this young pup was only interested in following me around and I think he wanted to dance with me or something because he kept putting his paws on my back and sort of boogeying about a lot. Jan kept trying to tell him to stop - I think she knows I'm not much of a dancer. I did notice that this dog had no collar on and what's more he didn't seem to have his Mam or Dad with him. Now I know I've tried a couple of times to go it alone on a walk but it seems to cause so many problems for Mam and Dad that these days they like me so much I stay on a lead and look after them.<br /><br />Anyway, this dog stalked me all around the hill and my Mam kept watching for his Mam or Dad but this fella was all alone. It soon got dark and Jan was worried that we were up the hill in the dark and that it was time to go home, so she shooed the Pointer away, hoping that he would go back to his owner. No - he wasn't having any of it he was truly my stalker and wouldn't leave me alone - what's more he was still trying to get me to join in his dance!!!<br /><br />At the bottom of the hill there is a very busy road and Jan didn't want a loose dog near that so she did a bit of dance herself and put on the "stern" voice she saves for me when I've apparently done something wrong!?! - it's usually Ruby, and chased the dog away and he went into the allottments. Mam said when she got home she would call the human called, a dog warden, who would come to the allottment and take this dog back to it's home.<br /><br />Low and behold five minutes there he was back again, and we were right beside the busy road, Jan gtried to hook a spare lead over his head but he was even better than me at avoiding being caught. Eventually, after the daft dog played tig with three cars on the road Jan decided that we had better let the dog be my stalker and he followed us home safely and was captured at the side of the house behind the garden gate. <br /><br />The dog warden human came and took the dog to a kennels in a big van and at last I was free of my stalker - it's hard to be so popular but it's a cross I have to bear!<br /><br />In the morning Jan phoned the kennels and found out that the dog was waiting for his Mam and Dad to collect him and that he had been missing an hour already before he found us!!!<br /><br />We're glad this story had a happy ending - Ruby is still confused - bless her - she still thinks the stalker dog was our friend Peter- tut.... daft dog!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip_p5L0ELc7uZ7Pw2tHE43nUP0vQbdpKxEfzUtZR9dG6VTrluaZ0dRg7r3_Fpbf4UMqJfsqJrB3g_u4t-QWnBw2gxX5o5QPFlNg4XsU5H2D9NtE3Gk_802HNTqFb5bF4lynY3Jvj8w0w/s1600/Photo0269.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip_p5L0ELc7uZ7Pw2tHE43nUP0vQbdpKxEfzUtZR9dG6VTrluaZ0dRg7r3_Fpbf4UMqJfsqJrB3g_u4t-QWnBw2gxX5o5QPFlNg4XsU5H2D9NtE3Gk_802HNTqFb5bF4lynY3Jvj8w0w/s400/Photo0269.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564266842218854114" /></a><br /><br />This is my stalker trying to get me to dance with him - Ruby as usual trying to get in on the action!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTvYPUhjdKLHQjvWHAJRDmLrunBLRY1FyIFxouUeWDdU4LHMzXTfnVY4RwXkDOtMAoNiPJo_RNnCty6MQl1TrcXnVczTVaUoDZ9c5GAAStnk0Z3UTAIsHdO7LN-9KYHMm5iEJ9WLcqnA/s1600/Photo0273.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTvYPUhjdKLHQjvWHAJRDmLrunBLRY1FyIFxouUeWDdU4LHMzXTfnVY4RwXkDOtMAoNiPJo_RNnCty6MQl1TrcXnVczTVaUoDZ9c5GAAStnk0Z3UTAIsHdO7LN-9KYHMm5iEJ9WLcqnA/s400/Photo0273.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564266836521080130" /></a><br /><br />My stalker!Oscar the Beagle!http://www.blogger.com/profile/09038885377917108097noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488179058149431900.post-58650802006308160782011-01-16T01:04:00.000-08:002011-01-16T01:07:50.641-08:00We'll be back soonWe'll all be back soon with lots of updates about Oscar and Ruby and our continuous adventures!!!<br /><br />I've been on a real health kick in recent months and have totally neglected the blog, so for 2011 I've decided I can keep fit and complete my blog, at least a couple of times a week - you have been warned .........watch this space.............Oscar the Beagle!http://www.blogger.com/profile/09038885377917108097noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488179058149431900.post-46749248155409353542010-11-02T13:11:00.000-07:002010-11-02T13:24:46.298-07:00Happy Birthday to my baby Ruby - 2 Today<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh_SMMYa5BmCOY_n7bmbvtdfhqq01VTCjKMrHVBlD6VgQ3Wry3ckflzc6b1R_2-3PcqKHg1n9vtoJmJKIUgMzbP9_blw1qpJszTT48bqgvsBKBSiLjkXkfb1ZJNjkLg4qKWJPIfGp-2A/s1600/ruby+18.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh_SMMYa5BmCOY_n7bmbvtdfhqq01VTCjKMrHVBlD6VgQ3Wry3ckflzc6b1R_2-3PcqKHg1n9vtoJmJKIUgMzbP9_blw1qpJszTT48bqgvsBKBSiLjkXkfb1ZJNjkLg4qKWJPIfGp-2A/s400/ruby+18.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535049472616716594" /></a><br /><br />Can't believe Ruby is two years old!!!

The blackberry Oscar chose to "eat" was the drastically more expensive type of blackberry, the blackberry bold 9700 to be exact, yes, a mobile phone! My youngest daughters new phone of only five weeks. She had come home from work and went straight into the kitchen to greet Ruby and Oscar, she'd made a big fuss of them and even treated them to a couple of biscuits each before deciding to take her jacket and bag upstairs and visit the loo. For some unfathomable reason she chose to leave her mobile on the kitchen table (we know well in our house that you can't leave anything lying on the table - both dogs know we eat at the table and therefore things on the table are good to eat!!!???). <br /><br />However, Samantha did leave her phone there! When she returned Oscar had the whole thing in his jaws and was merrily chomping away. Floods of tears later and a phone call to the insurance company and calm returned to the household, though by the look on Oscar's face I think the telling off Samantha gave him had the desired affect...........<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-J0RzS141d6RKY1gc4jn7Cuxrb55D1qtFEdi9Xk3n9Ens4gZXuh8P7UUqonmdGg5uIli8CKM9RLKXgWMvxb9SHGK9pjctAa8IqZDvkQgUnjlHT-eNSsNKoFLy9CWlaYTQYOB1MuZA8A/s1600/S1055896.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-J0RzS141d6RKY1gc4jn7Cuxrb55D1qtFEdi9Xk3n9Ens4gZXuh8P7UUqonmdGg5uIli8CKM9RLKXgWMvxb9SHGK9pjctAa8IqZDvkQgUnjlHT-eNSsNKoFLy9CWlaYTQYOB1MuZA8A/s400/S1055896.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505578019685493890" /></a><br /><br />Oscar did not suffer thank goodness (other than a very loud telling off lol) and the insurance company are sending a new phone as replacement.

Oscar had a lovely reunion with his girlfriend Susie. Those two love nothing better than a fiesty game of play fighting! Susie and Oscar even got together and bullied poor Ruby lol (not that Ruby is scared of much, certainly not Oscar and she just loves Susie).<br /><br />After a lovely game of fetch, Ruby thought it would be a good idea to grab the ball and tease Oscar with it. Ruby ran off with the ball with Oscar in hot pursuit. Before I could get to them they had ran onto the promenade and up the steps which leads to an upper promenade (beside a busy road) with me in even hotter pursuit. This is the very reason Oscar is on a long lead most of the time - I can put my foot on the lead and capture him when he has selective deafness!!!???<br /><br />Yesterday, however, he had other ideas - all he could see was Ruby with the ball, she was choosing to ignore my shouts in case Oscar caught her. Thankfully, after about 200 yards, Oscar finally took the ball from Ruby and came back to me, once there was no threat from Oscar, Ruby galloped back to a very traumatised dog mam too!?<br /><br />Just another typical day in the life of a Beagle mamaOscar the Beagle!http://www.blogger.com/profile/09038885377917108097noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488179058149431900.post-83614084746233703482010-08-06T08:02:00.000-07:002010-08-06T08:21:33.430-07:00Perfectly Perky<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJlbkWyouaqhseB74BBvbLMN1s6hU7Jxo5gXRU_K8-0dyJtxkL9kvYQee39ozUkMsni5LIbO1N0F0iko_RamxdHQDUHmuSBdhbIhPUlJ6cri6WXn5XvSImvbKpiVAhwUdFbZK1bWm7ew/s1600/S1055850.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJlbkWyouaqhseB74BBvbLMN1s6hU7Jxo5gXRU_K8-0dyJtxkL9kvYQee39ozUkMsni5LIbO1N0F0iko_RamxdHQDUHmuSBdhbIhPUlJ6cri6WXn5XvSImvbKpiVAhwUdFbZK1bWm7ew/s400/S1055850.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502313282527959090" /></a><br /><br />We've entered Ruby into "Perky Pets" competition in our local newspaper!??? Well, I was talked into it by my eldest daughter, Sarah. She filled in the on-line entry form complete with perky picture (see above). Only two days later it was me who got the phone call from the paper asking me why we'd entered Ruby!!!!<br /><br />Talk about put on the spot. Anyway, as you will all know if you read my blog, I can waffle for Britain, lol. In amongst everything I said, the reporter misunderstood Ruby's age lol,I think I managed to sound just about coherent. Thursday night is the night that photographs of entrants are shown and quotes from their proud owners printed. So early afternoon I went to pay my paper bill and had a quick scan of the Perky Pets item in that night's paper. No photo of Ruby, so I texted Sarah to tell her that we mustn't have been successful as Ruby wasn't in the paper.<br /><br />However, on my arrival home the paper was open at the Perky Pets page and Sarah was pointng, telling me to read the quotes, they'd only gone and printed all my waffle about my baby girl Ruby. HilARIOUS! (APPARENTLY, THEY ARE TRYING TO ARRANGE THAT RUBY'S WILL APPEAR NEXT WEEK)<br /><br />So all I have to do now is find a good photo of Oscar to enter him too - there's no show without punch - wish us luck!Oscar the Beagle!http://www.blogger.com/profile/09038885377917108097noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488179058149431900.post-89293256487115435332010-07-28T02:33:00.000-07:002010-07-28T02:48:04.634-07:00Holiday TimeYeay!

It is an old, filled in, grassed over type of quarry and a very good spot for off lead play for two naughty beagles!<br /><br />Oscar was excellent, though as you can see, still with lunge lead attached (just in case!). Ruby has proved herself to be a very good girl, and is at last getting the hang of the fetch game. I even had my youngest daughter, Sam (Samantha) in tow, so lots of fun was had by all - even the sun was shining - yeay!!!<br /><br />Smaller photos than usual as we used Sam's cameraOscar the Beagle!http://www.blogger.com/profile/09038885377917108097noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488179058149431900.post-78104545001839539292010-05-04T11:30:00.001-07:002010-05-04T12:22:13.463-07:00After chasing Ruby all over the local park for days now (such a naughty girl) I have decided she needs to be on lead just like her brother Oscar (also a naughty dog - well, as far as recall goes). So I hatched a plan that might work and not pull my arms completely out of their sockets!!!<br /><br />Two collars, one coupling chain and one extender lead. As you can see from below it was a rousing success (if you don't count the few incidents where Oscar and Ruby looked like a Push me-Pull me). I haven't given up altogether on off-lead play but I'm giving my stress levels a time to lower!!! <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicqmx5klKiGre-jPvmq4sV-K-TlxyLQNWu3mEJ8WlBueKia0LRwd0Aa2HxgbWbgg3tpUZR0EZwc93F5Nh0wIBTohzXERhyphenhyphenZTE5j5ogn6A9-7j0ZS05FPM2tlBkqJByKm_RM_fT1X_zwg/s1600/Photo0035.jpg"><img style="display:block;

So after a house move and when my hubbie finally caved in to my begging, we set about looking for a dog. I wasn't worried about which breed but Phil my hubbie had a fancy for a beagle and I was happy to agree.<br /><br />Through the Kennel Club website we found a breeder and set off to meet a beautiful six week old beagle pup we named George. He was gorgeous and we fell in love there and then. Two weeks later we went to fetch George home and we were so thrilled to have a new member to our family.<br /><br />Over the first few months George settled in no problem and we couldn't help loving him to bits. He was such a little character, the way he ragged his favourite soft toy, and raced about each day having his mad half hour and generally endearing himself to one and all. He loved his walks and loved to meet new dogs and humans alike.<br /><br />The only down side was that George had a series of episodes where he seemed to be suffering from sore limbs and he would act as if his neck was stiff and walk like a very old dog. The vet advised steriod injections and these worked like a miracle cure, so much so that in a matter of hours George would be back to his normal self and be full of energy.<br /><br />However, after suffering a further episode the vet suggested that it might be wise to check out George with the help of an x-ray to see if there were any visible neck problems that may be causing the problem.<br /><br />An appointment was arranged and I dropped George off at the allotted time giving him a quick pat on the head and leaving him to have his x-ray. Two and a half hours later I received a phone call from the vet telling me that George had passed away under anesthetic. To say we were all devastated was an understatement. I felt as though my heart was smashed to smitherines, it felt so unfair, so wrong, after all he had only gone in for a routine x-ray. I so wanted to believe it wasn't true, alas it was true and we all cried and cried.<br /><br />George we discovered later had a disease which affects about one beagle in a thousand each year called steriod responsive meningitis. He was a ticking time bomb and could have collapsed at any time. Some beagles out=grow this condition but sadly not our beautiful George.<br /><br />George was only 8 months old - here are some photos of his short but we hope very happy life<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxE3ZTVGAs3pEFGzlhP-g4UuNPClJOkLOVZAZmvdkb17e8dcZQlzbvorXaVcOiHozAIMSJnVfTbykLmZ-6wkUAM_S3Dr7UyZMuYsHI3ydH92JwYtuVOv6orBJkrd_ODKzIBttKIq_7sQ/s1600/18-05-07_0721.jpg"><img style="display:block;

It's my anniversary pressie from my hubbie Phil. It was a total surprise and I thought it was a joke but oh, how beautiful is she?<br /><br />A day out in this weather? I thought, is he mad? Oh but I wish we had had a camera to capture the look that must have been on my face, when we rolled up outside the kennels. <br /><br />I couldn't believe how gentle both Oscar and Ruby have been with her. I couldn't have wished for a better response. So the crate is back in place in the kitchen (thank goodness I didn't get rid of it!) and toilet training is on again!!!<br /><br />As you can see she is more like Oscar than Ruby, as she is a fallowfield like his lordship. She is dark at the moment but more lighter shades will come through over the next few months<br /><br />I can't believe I have <em>three</em> dogs now - boy are my hands full, though of course Daisy won't be out and about for a few weeks yet.
