This
is our dog Kandi at ten weeks, and she is very special to us. Kandi
arrived from a kennel in Iowa to our home in Pennsylvania via a kennel
transportation van. Her original family did not think that animals should
be delivered airplanes (too scary) so they used a transportation service.
It was an approximately three-day journey for Kandi to arrive at our house. We
received a call around 10pm indicating that the driver was getting close
to our home. Since he would be arriving late, he would be glad to wait
until morning to deliver her. And then his next stop was Baltimore. We
were so excited to get Kandi, that we told him to come on in that night no
matter what time it was Well, Kandi arrived around 2:30am. The whole
family was up with her that night.
She is very special and as she has grown she has developed the classic
beagle or hound dog howl. We love her very much.
Kandi is just over one year old now. While she has settled down a bit from
the early puppy days, Kandi is still very affectionate and playful. She
loves to go on long walks with us through the fields, woods and golf
course. When there is no one on the golf course, we love to take small
side trips onto the greens. Kandi loves the smooth surface of the green,
and she will literally run in circles and bark until she is exhausted.
There is something about the surface or texture of the smooth greens that
she loves. As you may know, beagles are known for their extremely strong
sense of smell. When Kandi is on the scent of something, we describe her
as "zoned out" and focused on only one thing. The funniest thing she does
when something catches her nose, she will stand up vertical on her hind
legs and sniff the air to get a better lock on the location.
