Hey folks, it's been a while since Phil and I were last on, almost a year I think. So I figured we should reintroduce ourselves.

Philly is my Beagle boy of about 1yr 5mth. He's been through 3 levels of obedience but still thinks he is in charge from time to time (who's beagle doesn't though).

He does however have some possible liver troubles which we are still working with the Vet to solve. I'l post more on this in the other forum.

Here is a few recent photos of Phil.

Phil is absolutely gorgeous. I adore that picture of him cuddled up in the chair with his duck. Just too precious. :heart: Welcome back to the boards and I hope that your vet gets those liver problems sorted out quickly.

Welcome home Andrew & Philly!

Welcome again. Hey Phil, My Bagel agrees that blind obedience is overrated /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif Seriously, there hundreds of generations of breeding to bring out the independent thinking in a hunting dog intended to hunt unsupervised. Beagles aren't herding dogs /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif Hopefully you and your vet can soon resolve Phil's liver problems. Love the pics, Welcome Back!

Welcome! We're new here too but already addicted. And I agree with the others that the beagles' lack of "blind obedience" is one of the things that makes them special. I love it when I can see our gang actually weighing up the pros and cons of various options before deciding what to do... which is usually whatever option will get them the most food! I think that is a much greater measure of intelligence than just doing everything you ask - although probably a lot more frustrating too!

Hi Andrew!

Glad you and Phil returned to BW. Phil is too sweet not to share!

The pictures are beautiful!!!

Phil's a handsome fellow! :wave: You didn't say what type of liver problems Phil might have, but when my Traveler had extremely high liver enzyme counts, Jen, another BW member told me about her vet's treating Snickers with milk thistle and Vitamin E. :thumbup:

Phill is a beauty. If it is so long since you visited the site, then I am a new member to you.
Hope the medical problems are sorted out soon.

Welcome back! Phil is a gorgeous boy! I hope his liver troubles are cleared up soon...hopefully it's nothing serious.

Thats interesting, I'll have to look for those threads. I've posted a brief tidbit on Phils liver.
