I don't know why I keep looking

Petfinder is sometimes a lifesaver, sometimes a heartbreaker. I rarely see any Beagle locally but there are so many I've seen and thought 'PERFECT!' For example there was one 'down the hill'- I think in Riverside? - called Nanna about 3 years old, perfect with kids and loved cats. Of course she's adopted now but I can't help feeling that she would have been perfect for us. Oh, well. There's a LOT at Beagles and Buddies, but again it's so far away! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif

Something else Petfinder does to me is make me want to go and adopt all those Labs and Lab crosses. I love Beagles so much now (though I've never had one), but I love Labs just as much, if not more. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif

In the High Desert; about 20-30 miles from the Cajon Pass, between San Bernardino and Barstow.

El Monte is about 70 miles away from us, which is where Beagles and Buddies is. I STILL haven't asked my dad if he'd be willing to drive all that way for a dog. (a while ago he said point-blank he would not go outside the High Desert 'just to get a dog' /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif )

I need to tell him that when the time comes to get my beag, I'd be more than willing to pay for the gas money. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/sign20.gif
