Gone To The Dogs!


I've been slow about getting back into the mode of blogging after our trip to East Texas.

There's just a lot to be done other than blogging. Sad to say! There's the on-going house hold chores...things that need to be done every day. Then there are those things that can wait for a while, but eventually they have to be done.

And then, there's the "secret project" that I can't talk about yet. It's taking all the spare time I can find to make a showing!

Which brings me to this post that I can paste in quickly, just to have my blog updated! I guess you can say my blog has gone to the dogs!

I found this fun thing about new dog breeds. It's all in fun but I got to looking for a beagle cross and what funny thing it would be called. There wasn't a beagle listed, so I googled "beagle cross breeds" and came up with some interesting names!

Poor Butch! I'm glad he's a full blood Beagle!!

Beagle Crosses:

Basset Hound/Beagle....Bagle Hound
Pug/Beagle...................Puggle
Beagle/Poodle...............Beagapoo
Beagle/Boston Terrier.....Boglen Terrier

Maybe some of you can come up with a description of these Beagle crosses.
