My two beagles look like Mutt and Jeff. They are total opposites in size and personality. Both came from a beagle rescue. Mulligan's was named by my husband and son, the golfers. They thought that was appropriate for a dog that we were giving a second chance to. (mulligan means "to do over" in golf). He is a tricolor beagle, as laid back a couch potato as they come, and weighs 34 lbs. Little Bit (we were only going to foster her for the rescue until they found an appropriate home for her) stole our hearts when we'd find her curled up with her canine brother at night. She's feisty, tiny (only 14 lbs.) and prisses around the house with her butt up in the air like she owns the place! My husband calls her "Shrimp" because she's so little.
She is so tiny that she ducks and walks under Mulligan's legs. When they beg for a treat, Mulligan's tail wops her in the face. You should see the look we get----like "Make him stop that." Flop, flop, flop, the tail will go in her face! For some reason, she can't figure out that if she wouldn't stand right behind him, she wouldn't get hit in the face! They are too darling together. If I've had a bad day, they definitely make me laugh.
