Grandma Nell Parked at the Edge of the Field. Waffles Had Ideas About the Grass.

The sky is soft and gray, and a wide grassy field stretches to a faraway line of trees. Grandma Nell sits on the open tailgate of an old black pickup, one hand resting on her knee and the other on Waffles. She has curly gray hair, wire glasses and a gentle smile, and wears a gray cardigan over a cream top. Waffles stands close in front of her, his long soft ears hanging, eyes warm and slightly curious as he looks straight ahead. His red and white coat is bright against the dark truck and the green grass.

Beagles are happiest when they are outdoors with their people, following their nose through fields and grass. Because the breed was bred to track scent, they can disappear after a rabbit or bird in seconds, so keep your Beagle on a long lead or in a fenced area. Check the coat for ticks after time in tall grass, and ask your vet about prevention suited to your area. A tailgate is a nice resting spot, but dogs can jump down awkwardly, so lift your dog down or use a ramp, and never leave a dog loose in a moving truck bed. Bring water and a bowl, and take shade breaks on warm days.

Wherever the road goes next, there is no rush. Grandma Nell and Waffles are happy to sit and look at the field for a little while.
