Say Hi to Pippa
Beagle, 10 years old
She came from RSPCA .
My favourite thing about Pippa is...
Silky ears and long walks together and she loves a belly rub!
The biggest challenge with Pippa is...
Stubborn - if she doesn't want to go the way I want she just won't move until I go her way, though I can fool her by starting the walk her way and looping round to where I want to go!!! Very territorial!!
The most surprising thing about owning a Beagle is...
How long a walk can take as she has to sniff at everything!!! She always manages to find discarded food it similar to eat and will not drop it not even for a treat!!! She's very good with children, let's my little granddaughter pull at her ears and jowls and never makes a murmer.
What I wish I’d known about Beagles is...
I already knew they were stubborn. didn't realise she would try to eat anything and everything on walks and even half ate my cauliflower before I took it out of the shopping bag - thought there was nothing in the bag that she would eat so hadn't rushed to empty it. Lesson learnt there!!
