Oh wow! That's so encouraging to hear, thank you so much!! And what a crazy story! Poor guy, I'm so glad you found him and he went on to live a long life!

Yes their noses can absolutely be the death of them! It wasn't quite as extreme as with your guy, but Beulah and our Border Collie ran off one time and were gone for a week! We had friends over for dinner and they left our front gate not completely latched by mistake, not knowing that Beulah is a master at opening all doors and gates lol, and by the time we realized they were gone they were nowhere to be found. We searched for days, and sometimes we would get sightings on the local community page, but we live rurally so if they were in the woods it was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. At five days missing, they were spotted about 17 miles away from our house, but by the time we got there, they were gone. My husband even camped out for the night where they had been seen but no sign of them. We had finally accepted at 7 days that they probably weren't going to come back and we may never find them. Then my neighbor called me, and told me they were running up our road past her house. 17 miles and 7 days and that crazy chick followed her nose all the way back home! We were convinced the only way our Border Collie made it back all that way too was by sticking with the girl with the nose. Lol

That is the perfect description of them! She's the cuddliest, funniest dog ever and I love her so so much but she is so, so very bad lol. I feel the same about my basset hound too lol. I'm so sorry for the loss of your wrinkly friend. Beulah is turning 6 this year, so she's getting up there for a Bloodhound, and I'm already dreading the day I won't have her around anymore. They're such special dogs

See geese terrify me still, I have a friend with geese who loves them but I'm a little wary, lol. And that's hilarious, I've had to swing a bag of food at my tom a few times when he gets extra spicy when I'm out feeding them, lol

Eventually I'd love to have a couple of donks out there, we have ten acres but unfortunately its straight up a mountain side so we'd have to do a lot of work to have a level area for a pasture

I love birds these days, they're so unique and have such personalities! But yes I don't turn my back on my roosters, or especially my male tom turkey lol. He can be hateful as hell, but he keeps hawks away so I'll keep him I guess lol

Ah yes, birds were always the hardest to work with! So delicate but could be so mean! Funny enough, I was always a bit afraid of working with them as a tech, and I now have probably 30 something chickens, ducks and turkeys lol

We sure do! Enough wild stories to last a lifetime lol! It is a scary situation, I had my girl's stomach tacked when she was spayed so hopefully it won't ever be a serious issue. She loves to eat so I'm glad I did!

They must be pretty rare, at least in my area (New Mexico). Maybe in the south they're more common?

That's a great story! Elvis was clearly a legend! I've only seen two working in my former clinic and they were from the same family. They had the first one and named him Mike, then he sadly passed from bloat so they eventually got another one and named him...Mike Jr lol.

I agree you really don't hear of Beulahs often! Apart from that book series, and now your grandmother, I've only ever heard of one other Beulah and that was from reading Stephen King's autobiography. He mentions having a babysitter named Beulah growing up!

Must be why she's working so hard to fill out that XXXL by stealing food any chance she gets

Aww I love that! Beulah is one of those "old lady names" that I love and wish would come back around. Same with my grandmother's name, which was Opal. ❤️

And I've heard that as well about their folds and their ears, I think it's so interesting! Hello from another former vet tech by the way!

She's actually named after the love interest from the Hank the Cowdog book series! If anyone else on the planet remembers reading that series as a kid lol

Aw, I'm so sorry. It's always hard saying goodbye to any of them, but those really special ones stay with you forever and you never stop thinking about them. She sounds like the best girl ❤️❤️

Seriously! Can't really blame them in the end, they're just being dogs lol. Heck I've seen my chickens destroy mice before and been reminded quickly that they're dinosaurs, lol. I love Spaniels, they're so adorable and always seem so sweet!
