Scruffy The Legend

Hi friends,
If you read this blog you probably are a big fan of Keeshonds. So am I. The last thing I ever thought was that I would ever be as big a fan of Beagles – Beagles! – can you imagine. Well Ruby changed all that. Here’s what I think of Beagles now: Beagles are not as “in your face” loving or intelligent as Keeshonds. Maybe they are even lazy and slow to learn. If I may dare, I say that they may be even smarter than Keeshonds and certainly not lazy. Their intelligence is on a different level – a deeper one, I suspect. They don’t always show their emotions as easily as Keeshonds. If I ask my Keeshond Charlie for his paw (or whatever trick) he does it immediately with vigor. Ruby ponders the situation and only gives her paw (slowly) under the following circumstances: a treat is being offered and Charlie is giving his paw. If I reprimand Charlie, he looks very upset for about 3 seconds, and then goes about his business. If I reprimand Ruby she goes to her bed and wimpers for a full minute or so.

Please read the following and help if you can:

From the Happy Tails group on Yahoo.

Three days ago while walking my mini Schnauzer at Alley Pond park here in Queens NY, my partner and I came across 2 Beagles who seemed quite lost. One dog seemed more vulnerable than the other. She was visibly tired and disoriented. She would call out for her “brother”, and he would sidle up to her,and reassure her. It was poignant to witness this trust and dependability between the two dogs under the
circumstances.

They have a very strong bond with one another. Ultimately we shepherded the dogs into our car and took them to our vet for a once over. He proclaimed them to be generally healthy. We brought them to
our groomer who gave both a much needed bath. We have plastered the park and surrounding area with flyers, in the hopes of finding the owner(s).

We can afford to keep them for a few days to a week, but we both travel quite a bit during the year, and we cannot accommodate these dogs into our day to day reality.

They are so sweet tempered and loving. They are not rambunctious or loud. Their behavior with our dog Roshi has been impeccable, no squabbling over territory, toys or food.

We don’t want to arbitrarily “dump” them at a shelter that might have no option but to euthanize after a certain grace period.

Please help us do the right thing by these two sweet dogs.

Thank you very much,
