This is Grace again, the amazing Velcro dog, demonstrating her inability to ever be too close to the being upon which she has chosen to lavish her particular (and fierce) affections for the moment. And again, Maximilian has stolen her favorite chair. I did check periodically while they were sitting like this to be sure that Maximilian was still able to breathe comfortably.
This is Maximilian's best good friend, Benny, who can also have moments of never being able to be close enough to the Beagle. I wonder what Grace and Benny would do if introduced... Maximilian probably should not be present for that occasion, lest they both desire to pile on top of him and he ends up at the bottom of a three-dog pile.
No folks, these are not conjoined beagle twins. This is Maximilian (left) and Buster enjoying a rare moment of stillness together before taking off to chase one another around the house and yard once again (in these episodes, the older Beagle (Maximilian) learned to simply wait for the younger Beagle (Buster) to circle back around whatever object they were using as the center for their game of chase (i.e. house, shed, human, etc.) and would then take a lunge at him rather than following him (or being chased by him) around and around said object).
One time, when Maximilian and Buster had had a longer-than-usual gap between their romper dates, they were reunited as my car (containing Maximilian) pulled into a parking space next to Buster's owners' car (containing Buster). Both Beagles had a slightly rolled-down window, and both used this to their full advantage to vent their best Beagle howls upon recognizing one another, and both struggled attempting to squeeze out of their respective 3.5-inch window gaps. A good Beagle time ensued. Maximilian misses Buster and wishes him the best in Hawaii!
And last, but not least, this is Addy, another good friend of Maximilian's. For these two, lounging in the sun is just as much a priority as greeting one another with kisses on the lips. On this particular day, I think Maximilian probably became jealous of Addy's well-chosen spot in the sun and somehow sneakily manipulated her out of it (perhaps by moving his lips out of her reach), leaving her the second-best spot in the house just outside of the range of the window's spill of sunlight.
awww...i love this picture! Addy misses Max very much, he is the most patient of all of her doggy friends.
ReplyDeleteI was fortunate enough to come upon your website while searching for cute pics of a beagle on a couch. Your website and your sweet beagle Max are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing it with us.
