Life with Beagles

When people have children, they force their unsuspecting (single) friends to watch countless hours of video of their obviously fabulous offspring and sit through endless scrapbooks highlighting their amazing antics. Since I have no children, I've never been able to reciprocate. My new digital camera changes this. I have managed to create a very short video of my roommate, Brontë.

A little background: Brontë is 10 years old and she is a beagle, which means she doesn't greet you with hugs and kisses when you come home, she greets you with a howl. Well, for hound dogs, it's called baying. Brontë is very, very good at baying. I think it's her way of leveling the playing field since she has no opposable thumbs. As her vet says, Brontë is very good at asserting her rights, whatever she deems them to be.

Note: Please forgive the quality - I'm still learning how to use the camera and the editing equipment.
