I was walking the dogs, two boxers and the beagle. Having had boxers for a long time, I have found boxers to be quite bright, loving, playful, and protective. I haven't figured out the beagle, yet.
She has flushed out two rabbits since we moved to the city; so, I guess she does the instinctive hunting thing pretty well. And she howls at every other dog we encounter. A friend has told me that beagles stink -- Scout doesn't stink; although, she does try to stink. When I was distracted one afternoon, she started to roll around in ... well, someone doesn't carry plastic bags around to pick up their dogs turds.
So, I learned my lesson and am vigilant for the first sign of Scout the beagle desiring to slide around in some organic matter and rein her in, when necessary. But I could not imagine the lengths this dog would go to get smelly.
She darted under the big, old boxer while the boxer was crouching to ... you know ... and well, you know ... the beagle was very creative in her quest to stink. Instinct ... or intelligence?

I think you've got a very doggie dog there, Bill.
