Hey thanks Cassie, I put Dodger on a short leash , tied his leash to his crate he doesn’t mind at all and now it’s great he only has his little area, thanks again love that he doesn’t sniff all over driving me crazy..lol, but that’s not why I am writing , I think Dodger has something wrong with him he is Hughe for a beagle he weighs over 50 lbs and is getting bigger and I have no idea why, I know most beagles only weigh between 15-23 lbs, but not this much, I looked up thyroid problems, and they say beagles have the hereditary type of hypothyroidism and I can’t afford to take him to the vet to do the blood work till next month, but he’s still getting bigger because I bought him a harness and it was to large and I took it in…. Know it fits him, they say with this disease he could have cancer, but it also says it’s one of the most over diagnosed disease of vets in America, so what do you guys think?
