I used to love listening to the music of my "Sloopy" around here. Sloopy never hunted for folks, as she hated the sound of shooting, but she loved to chase rabbits and tree rats for herself. I loved her typically Beagle "happy song" and "happy tail", seen and heard through the local trees. She loved if someone went with her, as long as they didn't carry anything long-ish that looked to her like it might shoot. Finally the neighborhood built up enough there was too much traffic so I had to put up a fence and "retire" her from the surrounding woods, swamps, and "roads" - so we could grow old "together". Believe it or not, I fear she is getting there faster than I - she's still a pip though.
BEFOR - 1997, "But Ahm not sure Ah want to be a huntin' dawg."
AFTER - A few months ago, "Shhh, quiet, Ahm restin' ('n dreamin' of rabbits)."
Forgive the slight deviation but perhaps you can take Sloopy along on the bunny hunt (in your minds) also - she probably would enjoy the St. Jude Auction too, she loves happy folks -
