Daisy Mae ...

From left, me ... Tuffy, Jade in the back, Daisy Mae in the middle and the pissant, Oliver, on the right.

Daisy is a sweet girl … sometimes. She likes to give hugs, but she's not so free and easy as you'd think. She gives hugs to mom a lot, but I know that's because mom blows in her ear and tells her she's the prettiest Beagle ever. Then she just melts and falls over and puts her head on mom's shoulder. It's the cutest thing. Wish she'd do it to me.

This is me with the big old brown-eyed Beagle look, feeling sad cuz Daisy doesn't give me hugs.

Pop always wants Daisy to give him hugs, but she's rather stingy with him. She'll be up in the chair with him, and he coaxes and coaxes, and she just looks at him with those big, brown Beagle eyes. And then she might just puddle up against him, or look at him and jump down. She can be rather fickle sometimes. Guess cuz she's a girl.

There's Daisy Mae puddling up next to pop, giving him a big hug.
