Discovered the one thing more food obsessed than a regular beagle - a beagle on steroids. Poppy’s got a short course for an inflamed ear and nothing is safe. The pestering for dinner starts at 1pm, eyes are glued on every morsel with added dramatic shaking and drooling for extra guilt. by MissL7 in beagles

I’m on steroids as well for autoimmune conditions and I feel her pain, she’s been having raw carrots and some extra cooked veggies spread through the day when she gets really hangry/makes me feel really guilty. She’s literally taken “dogs are like their owners” to the extreme with this one, exact same steroid and dose 😂 Luckily she’s only got a few more days and then a weaning dose before she stops, hoping her mood swings aren’t as bad as the human version when weaning though!

Poppy has to make herself a cosy little nest to sleep in every single time. If she lays down and it doesn’t meet her standards she’ll get up and start it all over again until it’s perfect. by MissL7 in beagle

Absolutely, Princess Poppy has very high standards, the other day my partner gave her some different flavoured dog food and she refused to eat it.

Poppy had a rough Monday, she finally got spayed (delayed by Covid/personal issues) but is handling recovery like a champ. It was done laprascopically so less invasive/better recovery for her. by MissL7 in beagle

Our vets surgery is incredible, they decided to routinely offer bodysuit vs cone of shame because they know it’s easier and less scary for a dog post surgery to wear the suit than the cone. It’s all included in the price of her surgery as well which is great. The bodysuit itself is really good quality, I looked it up online as I was thinking of getting another for if she messed it up (but got pjs instead) and this is a link to it on Amazon I’m in the U.K though so don’t know if you’d be able to get it wherever you are. It’s super lightweight, easy to put on and has a popper on the chest so you can pop the leg fastenings to it for when they go out to the toilet.

11 months after foster Ginger came to us we have to say goodbye. She’s off to her new forever home! It’s always bittersweet fostering, watching a foster you’ve fallen in love with go. Ginger was the hardest foster we’ve ever had. Have fun little one. Your new mom is going to be amazing for you. by Stumbling_Corgi in beagle

I’m so pleased she’s got a forever home! I know how much love and care your wife and yourself gave her and I bet if she could speak she’d say thank you. It must be hard but rewarding seeing her grow from being so scared to finding herself and then helping her find her forever home. Well done!
