My
name is Hector but humans sometimes call me "Chubby Hector," "Stinky
Potato," "Sweet Roll," "Cold-cut," "Flying Ace," or just "Heps." As you
can tell, I have a lot of nicknames. I am a six year old Beagle, and I
live in Flint, Michigan. I live with two other dogs, two big, young
females -- Tatum (Yellow Lab/Pit bull mix) and Shawnee (German
Shepherd/Border Collie mix). I am the lazy, low-energy one in the pack. My
girls look out for me when we go on walks.
Though I am a bit chunky, I love a good, long walk in any type of weather
- rain, sleet, or snow. Sometimes I have trouble keeping up because I must
carry my rock-solid body, but nevertheless, I never give up on a walk. As
far as my disposition goes, I am a very sweet and happy dog who even has a
sense of humor at times. In fact, every so often I like to smile or do
something silly just to see all the humans get excited. I also often make
the claim that I get along with any dog of any size, breed, or
temperament.
Hector is the name and takin' funny pictures is the game. That's one thing
that makes me special. Another thing that makes me special though is that
I am the perfect house pet. I am such a gentle creature around kids, other
dogs, and even every other species known to humans. This has been proven
as I'd like to claim to be the only dog who has NEVER shown any aggression
(but realistically I do realize I'm probably not the only dog who can make
this claim).
Anyhow, you may have also noticed I'm a bit chubby. Sometimes people
confuse me for a Basset Hound/Beagle mix or just a "pregnant Beagle" (how
rude by the way, I'm a boy!) but nope, I'm 100% Beagle, just a chubby one.
But my pack leader and I are trying to get my weight down by eating a
little less and exercising a lot more. It's just hard when you start to
get old and all the kiddos are always givin' ya table scraps, ya know?
We've switched to a healthier (and more expensive) dog food and over the
past year and a half my weight has dropped from 49 pounds to 40 pounds. As
a chubby Beagle I'm real proud of that. Anyway though, I won't go on and
on about my chub forever, 'cause it all just means I have more love to
give. :)
