11) Introducing the mighty Milo!

[MontyBeagle]

It's nearly three years since our old family beagle, Henry, died and my mum and dad have been missing his furry company. In a way, I think maybe they thought they would be marring his memory by inviting a new beagle into the home and so instead, for the past three years, they have been actively volunteering to look after Monty from time to time despite living at the oppostite end of this island we call Britain- living in fact in a separate country! Each time we have reclaimed Monty the Monster, both my parents have looked crestfallen- particularly my dad who really does thrive on the companionship and character of a beagle. So, after some 'intervention' (some may call it 'busy-bodying'!) by their pestering daughter, I got in touch with a welfare site for beagles here. I arranged a home visit, and before too long at all, we were driving off to see a four year beagle who needed a new home. His name was Milo.

Milo is now stretched out on the sofa having been out all day on the beach with Monty. He is a real character and I have already got so many funny little stories to bore you with! Not much humour here today but I am just so delighted that this little guy has landed on his paws here and moreover, that we can leave with Monty next week almost guilt-free! Seeing my grumpy Scottish dad grinning like a ten-year old who's knee-deep in sweets is brilliant. It's been a good day! I hope you like the pictures

Ps in the picture of both- Milo is on left; Monty on right. They are spookily similiar looking!

They are both very handsome and the resemblance is uncanny. Can't wait to hear more of your hounds :-)

Great pics! Looks like they might as well have come from the same litter!
