Beagles

Beagles
Bark a lot
Not for good reasons
They do not give it much thought,
When people object they bark, "Why the hell not!?"

Couldn't help but laugh out loud at this one, Jim! And I love the way you "translated" their bark at the end. Brilliant and sooo witty! Love, Carolyn

A very fun write you have here Jim. If they see a rabbit they bark they want to get it. Excellent writing Jim. Thank you for sponsoring your contest. I am happy with the mention thank you. Love, Carol

They are beautiful animals and they are bred to bark when they get the prey. Probably not a good breed for city. Rural with space would be better. Love the write. Keep writing. Sara
