Bitsy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Bitsy
Age: Five years old
Gender: Female Breed: Beagle
Home: Delaware, USA
 
   Bitsy the beagle was adopted when she was three months old from the local SPCA. We fell in love with her the minute we saw her! She has been a wonderful addition to our family. Bitsy is a good-natured, fun-loving dog who enjoys a good walk as much as she loves her own back yard where she patrols for rabbits and squirrels. Her nose knows every inch of ground in our yard.

    She is a great traveler when we vacation. The ride in the car provides hours of good napping opportunities. She also has her own cozy bed in our room but prefers to sleep in our bed - in and out of the covers all night! We don't get much sleep some nights but she sure does! We are very blessed to have such a good dog in our lives.

    Bitsy loves the three S's-Sniffing, Snacking and Snoozing (pretty much in that order!) Though she really doesn't know too many tricks, she was taught by our good friend Amber how to use her paw to get dog treats out of a "Doggie Gumball machine". She is actually quite good at using her paw to operate the machine! Again, snacking is involved! Bitsy isn't really a vocal Beagle. She will sit outside for "hours" just staring out the door to come in - never barks to come in the house (of course her 20 minutes outside probably seem like hours to her!) She is a very affectionate dog, she always races to the door to greet my husband John and I when we get home from work-her tail is just a wagging a mile a minute. She loves to go for rides in the car - even a short ride around the block makes her day. Her favorite pastime is to go for a walk at a local park. She is a very happy and good natured dog, maybe a wee bit spoiled but we love her - she's our girl.
