Hello there, two-legged readers! I'm Lucy, the beagle with a story to bark about. My journey with the humans started with my name. Conor, the oldest of my two-legged brothers, chose my name from a list. I think he did a pretty good job, don't you?

I'm what you call a beagle, a small but mighty breed. I celebrated my first birthday on July 18th, but August 30th marks my official year as part of this loving family. Weighing around 20lbs, I might be on the smaller side, but my heart is as big as any giant breed's!

My days are filled with joy and wagging tails. Every afternoon, I wait in the driveway for the school bus, eagerly greeting all the neighborhood children. I've become quite the local celebrity! The kids love me, and the feeling is mutual. Snuggles with my human brothers, hikes, pup cups from Griff's, and playdates with my best dog pal, Thor, keep me busy and happy.

My human family didn't know they needed me until they saw me. Conor had been wishing for a furry sibling, and when my humans saw my photo, they knew it was meant to be. The day they brought me home was a surprise for Conor and Leo, filled with excitement and love.

I'm quite the playful pup, especially when it involves a game of chase with the boys' toys. My favorite snacks? Anything dropped on the floor and popcorn during family movie nights. Walks with me are never boring, thanks to my excellent beagle nose, turning what should be a 10-minute stroll into a 30-minute adventure.

Here's a tail-wagger for you: One morning, I was in our yard when a massive deer, with two babies in tow, decided to join the fun. It turned into an impromptu chase, with me nearly leading them into our house! It was all caught on camera - a real deer-in-the-headlights moment!

As for being spoiled, I'm guilty as charged. I start my nights snuggled up with Conor and Leo, then sneak into my parents' bed later. The love and attention from my family and the neighborhood kids make me the happiest beagle around.

So that's my story, folks! A beagle's life filled with love, adventures, and a bit of mischief. Until next time, keep those tails wagging!

Woof!

Lucy the Beagle
