Beagles 101
In case you haven't already
viewed it, Dogs 101 is an excellent show on Animal Planet that discusses
everything you need to know on a variety of dog breeds. The pluses and
minuses, health issues, socialization, grooming, and interaction with children
are just some of the topics discussed. Click
here to view the episode on Beagles.
Beagles are loved all over the
world. Some are even named after cities, states and countries as you'll see in the Faces Needing
Places grid seen at the bottom of this page.
Make No
Bones About it...
We have taken our 9-year-old Virginia for
chiropractic care for about the past 2 years. Our experience has been a very positive one. As she's
gotten older, she has developed some issues in her lower back that sometimes
results in stiffness and what we call the "hippity hops".
In an amazing bit of compensation, when she is due for a
treatment, we will often find her laying differently when she sleeps, with a back
leg turned out peculiarly and sometimes ingeniously propped up and elevated on a
toy or a blanket to take the pressure off of a sore area.
She goes in for a "tune up" about every 6 weeks, and the improvement is
noticeable. Over the course of a 1/2 hour session, her chiropractor works
on her, and through a specific series of gentle manipulations, she corrects the
alignment of her neck, back, legs, and even her tail. All the while, Virginia is
her usual stoic self, okay with being massaged and adjusted... and doubtless totally
focused on the yummy treat she gets at the conclusion of the session. And, when
she walks out, she "stacks" straighter, her gait looks better, and her overall
alignment just appears to be more normal.
As owners, we get the peace of mind that she is now significantly more
comfortable. And this is accomplished fairly rapidly and without medication.
Chiropractic certainly doesn't cure all ills, but it can definitely offer one
more tool in your arsenal for helping your pet with the onset of
age-related aches and pains.
This article provides more information on animal chiropractic care, including
how to find a chiropractor in your geographic area.
"Nobody
can fully understand the meaning of love unless he's owned a dog. A dog can show
you more honest affection with a flick of his tail than a man can gather through
a lifetime of handshakes."
~Gene Hill
Think of one dog breed that is beloved worldwide and what comes to mind?
Why, the Beagle, of course! From Charles Schulz' Snoopy to Beagles Him and
Her in the LBJ White House to the most recent Westminster Kennel Club c'hamp,
Uno. The Beagle is truly the universal canine goodwill ambassador around
the globe.
So, below we are showcasing a group of deserving Beagles who share their names
with cities, states, and countries all over the world. These dogs just need a home and the opportunity to show
what wonderful companions they can be. They are all available for adoption or rescue.
