The best thing to do is to get another dog. Seriously. I feel the same way ~ wanting to relax and just have a belly skritchin' kind of dog after work. As far as I can tell, this is not possible with a beagle. Not that I don't play with her, but I just want that little bit of down time first.
My 14 year old dog can't keep up with Daisy, but my next door neighbors have a 6 month old yorkie. When she's out in their yard, I can reach over the fence, pick her up, and put her in my yard with Daisy. The puppy is so nuts that she wears Daisy out in as little as 20 minutes
If I thought I could handle 3 dogs, I would get another, just to wear Daisy out!
