Little Man is a delightful small beagle, 24 pounds and approximately 2 years old. He has that distinctive dark coloring, and expressive brown eyebrows with black and brown spots on his white nose and legs. He enjoys wandering and romping in the fenced yard, with much sniffing. He likes people – men and women, our grandchildren and adults. And he really likes dogs.
Little Man and our very energetic 35-pound resident beagle tumble together in the yard and do zoomies around the yard. Little Man settled in right away – met the resident beagle on equal terms and holds his own in “conversations” about who gets to sit where and play with which toy. In a very short time, they have become friends and grateful for each other’s company when the adults are away. When left alone, Little Man whines a bit at the start, and yaps when we return, but otherwise settles down. Occasionally, we return to find a remote on the floor.
Little Man likes peanut butter kongs, and all food, and does a wonderful happy dance when his food bowl or treats appear. He is very gentle when taking treats – and likes to reach for them, or just nibble them from the floor. He barks rarely and we have not heard the beagle aroo.
He likes being around his humans and enjoys snuggling by our sides, in our laps, or on a chair we recently vacated. He gives kisses and rolls on his back for belly rubs. When he is not snuggling, he can be entertainingly mischievous. He’ll hide toys in places the resident dog can’t crawl to or grab a slipper and look at us slyly. His special accomplishment is to open the screen door with his paw and quickly get his head in the opening. He does this for himself and our resident beagle – who has no understanding of the technique.
Little Man is not crated during the day and has the run of the house. He sleeps in a crate at night. He hasn’t had any accidents and potties in the yard but prefers to potty on leash walks. When he arrived, he seemed unacquainted with leash walks but very quickly learned to enjoy them. He likes to sniff and meet other dogs, as beagles do. He does fine on car rides. He’s a bit hesitant about getting in the car but once there, he settles right down,
We think Little Man will do best in a home with a fenced yard, another dog, and humans who want to play. We do not have a cat and don’t know how he’d do with them.
