Mom & Dad ruined the yard today

Mom and Dad ruined the yard today. The bushes along the back fence had grown up really tall and thick. The berry bushes were all growing into the geraniums and the oleanders and the other bushes. It was like a jungle and I loved it. I made a trail in there. I would go behind one bush and then under the low branches and in front of the next bush and then in back again. I had an area all hollowed out behind the bushes and it was lined with pine needles from our tree and it was really comfy in there. It was like a club house. When I was back there I could see out but you could not see in. I could hide in there and wait for unsuspecting kitties or squirrels. Then Mom and Dad decided the bushes had grown too big and needed to be cut down. I thought they were just going to cut the tall tops off and leave my yard alone. But they decided to do a lot of damage out there. They just kept chopping and chopping and chopping. I was out there with them the whole time watching everything they were doing. I kept going into my den to check it out. At first it was OK, I could still hide. But then they went too far and ruined it. Now I can't hide at all. It's all cut away and open. No more den. No more hiding and waiting for squirrels and kitties to come into the yard. My life is ruined.

DOG PARK OUTING

Oh we are the luckiest beagles ever. Mom took us to the dog park in Union City this afternoon and we had the best time. I found some big dogs to play with and I ran and ran and ran all over the park. Chloe even had a good time. She usually sits on the bench with Mom and just barks at all the dogs. Today she got off the bench several times and went and met some of the other beagles. She still got on the bench and barked, but she seemed to be barking at all the nonbeagles. I think she was telling them that this was a get together for the Bay Area Beagles Group and they weren't supposed to be there. But I didn't mind because I like playing with dogs that are bigger than me. When there are only beagles there I get bored.

IT'S OFFICIAL

Mom and Dad took us to Petco today. We had to get some shots. There were lots of dogs there and some cats too. We had to wait in line for a long time. It was hard being quiet. We wanted to bark at all the dogs and the people and especially the cats. But Dad made us be good. When it was our turn the doctor gave us our shots and then checked us out. She said Chloe is FAT. Ha Ha Ha. I said before that she was a PIG. Now it is official because the vet says she is fat. Mom calls her the Chunky Monkey. So Chloe is going to have to go on a diet. Ha ha ha!
