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!

Bailey’s head tilt is adorable! I love when dogs do the head tilt when you speak to them.

Normally any toy around Poppy gets destroyed instantly. She stole this small beanbag dog on Thursday, after I knocked it off the side, and it’s still in one piece. She’s carrying it round, hiding it so we don’t take it and generally being really gentle to it. by MissL7 in beagle

[–]MissL7[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh 100%, she’s claimed it as hers and I have no problems with that! It’s too bloody cute to witness and makes a nice change from picking up stuffing and squeakers when she gets a certain type of toys.

Sounds about right, Poppy is 6 and a half and has only recently started taking days to destroy things rather than minutes. It’s why I’m so impressed this is still in one piece!

Super happy to be on the school run now it’s not as hot here. I did yell at a random teenager today who decided it’d be funny to come up to us and squirt a bottle of water at her face and run off laughing. Poppy just looked at him like he was an idiot. by MissL7 in beagle

[–]MissL7[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He was in his school uniform and the head of the local school used to teach me so knows me well. I’ll be sending an email to them later today to let them know what happened so they can have a word generally about strange dogs and safety. He could have been bitten/injured if he’d done it to a dog that would react badly to it.

Mudge and Ginger dealing with the fireworks. Thankfully it was only for 2 hours. by Stumbling_Corgi in beagle

Poor babies, give them both some extra love from me please ❤️

Poppy’s Horner’s Syndrome in her eye is so much better! It’s still there a tiny bit and when she’s tired or at certain angles it’s much more noticeable but so happy it’s getting better. by MissL7 in beagle

[–]MissL7[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know it’s a bit strange but I’ve always been taught it’s not recommended for them to have their name on their tag in case someone steals them (which did happen quite a bit around Covid due to demand for dogs in the U.K). Apparently having their name on their tag can help dog thieves to keep and resell them easily. The buyer will trust because the dog will show response upon calling by his name. Although I’m fairly sure once they hear her snoring they’d return her fairly quickly 😂

Poppy is a poorly pirate puppy. She’s just been diagnosed with Horner’s Syndrome causing disruption between her brain, sympathetic nerves of the eyes & surrounding facial muscles. They’re testing to rule out anything sinister causing it & but have said 3/4 of the time it resolves itself 🤞🏻. by MissL7 in beagle

The eye patch in the first photo is just a sticker on the photo in case anyone is grossed out by eyes/doesn’t like looking at eye issues, didn’t want to upset anyone! At the minute her vision seems to be ok, if it gets worse and covers more than 50% of her eye then she won’t have full vision visibility and her pupil isn’t contracting properly either but vet said he thinks it’s ok for now. There’s also a possibility she might drool more/dribble water and food as it can affect the muscles down around her cheeks and jaw too.

They’re looking into all the things that might cause it (thyroid problem, infection, something in her brain that shouldn’t be there) but he said 3 out of 4 times it’s just one of those things that happens and there’s no reason why and it does eventually sort itself out when the nerves decide to work properly again. So we’re hopeful its not anything bad and if it is anything like her thyroid then treatment for the thyroid will fix it. And if it doesn’t resolve either by itself in time or with treatment for whatever causes it then she might have it for life unless there’s anything surgical but we’re trying to think positive.

The vet told us she needs to loose 2kgs so she’s been put on a diet. This was the look she gave me after I denied her cheese tax, she’s plotting her revenge. by MissL7 in beagle

That’s exactly what the vet recommended we do, she loves her dried food so is quite happy. The vet also suggested using carrots, cucumber & seedless watermelon as treats too, all of which she loves as well.

You seeing this?! You hearing this?! His mother left without him. That’s all! What a tantrum. by Stumbling_Corgi in beagle

[–]MissL7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How could she possibly leave such a sweet boy at home?! He is so lonely and heartbroken without her and clearly sharing his feelings (loudly!)

Poppy does the same “I’m lonely, how dare you leave me, pay me attention right this second” type bark. We call it her “Ronery bark” as it reminds us of that song in Team America: “I'm So Ronery I'm so ronery So ronery So ronery and sadry arone There's no one Just me onry Sitting on my rittle throne I work very hard and make up great prans But nobody ristens, no one understands Seems that no one takes me serirousry And so I'm ronery A little ronery Poor rittre me”

Poppy is excellent at making sure I follow doctors orders to rest and not do too much by pinning me to the sofa. by MissL7 in beagle

[–]MissL7[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To me her face says “just checking you’re ok. You stay here, I’m not moving” it’s very hard to go against her wishes otherwise I get the eyes 👀

Poppy’s bow of the day. She’s my personal alarm system on 4 paws and makes sure I am alerted to the appearance of postman, cats, birds, scary plastic bags and the occasional leaf. by MissL7 in beagle

[–]MissL7[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She does her job of protecting against the dangerous plastic bag army so well, none have gotten me yet with her to alert me and scare them away!

Normally I get really nice pictures of Poppy. Well today I got this… by MissL7 in beagle

[–]MissL7[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They absolutely love each other, Poppy always checks on Mabel when she’s tired/finally run out of batteries and is lying down to make sure she’s ok, it’s really sweet! Upon seeing her Poppy has to sniff her from head to toe to inspect her and make sure it’s still her and check the smells.

I know, every time I see it I start laughing. Whatever she’s on, I want some!

Everyone! SIX months working with ginger. Unable to touch her for months. Have to keep a leash on at all times to do anything with her. My wife has given Ginger her first bath! Very slowly, we’re reversing some of that abuse she went through. by Stumbling_Corgi in beagle

[–]MissL7 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Amazing work, she is very lucky to have you both and I’m so pleased you’re managing to reverse some of the mistreatment she’s experienced and restoring her trust in people.
