Meet Artie!

We get lots of questions about my head ❤️ So we thought we’d do a write up here so people can read up on my story. I was born in September 2021 at a puppy farm somewhere in west Wales. At just 8 weeks old I was handed into Many

Goodbye to the best Chilli Dog

My Chill. Saying goodbye to you has been the hardest thing our little family has ever had to face. We miss you so very much. You were a special girl. In the early days, your gorgeous eyes spoke to Mum, and we can still remember the innocent Facebook post from

Stop testing on us!

MBR (MarshallBioResources) Acres and others like it are industrial organisations that breed beagles solely for animal testing. Beagles bred there are never taken for walks, allowed to raid bins, or allowed to sleep in the middle of their humans king size beds. Instead they are shipped out to have all

Lockdown continues....

3 more weeks! 3 more weeks I have to put up with Mum and Dad hanging around and generally getting in the way. Truth be told though i don’t mind it really but I do mind that we don’t go on such fun walks anymore. While I’m

Life in Quarantine

What a funny world. Once upon a time Mum and Dad used to go to work. No more. Now they lounge around all day at home allegedly ‘working’, living in their pyjamas and carrying out constant raids on the fridge. It’s like they finally found their inner beagle. They

Tonsil-Beagle-Tis

My tonsil has been most pesky of late. So pesky it has affected a beagle’s eating ability - the most serious condition a beagle could suffer. 4 weeks ago, shortly after Chilli’s birthday, Mum noticed I was struggling to chew a cocktail sausage. This rang immediate alarm bells,

Beagly Shenanigans

It’s been a while since I wrote to you all and life has been busy. Many fun walks have been had – and the odd Top Secret Beagle Mission too, my favourite being my 2 kilometre rabbit run off-piste in my local woods. Mum seemed less keen about the adventure

Ben's Year

I started 2018 with precisely 2018 friends and approaching the end I am nearing 10,000! What a wonderful bunch you all are. A beagle never thought he’d have such a lot of good friends! January started with a birthday bash – my own! This year I turned 5 and

We did it!

We did it! Muddy Dog Challenge complete! I have crawled through mud pits, swum through mud pits, swum through ball pits, climbed over a-frames and completed a doggy maze. I ran like I have never run before but I drew the line at the fetch challenge so Mum had to

Norfolk Holiday Day One - Cardiff to Tacolneston

Off we trot on our holidays again. I must say, we are getting seasoned as travellers and once supervising our food had been packed, into the car me and Chilli jumped and off we went. Dad opted for the M25 route which prompted much concern from both Mum and Dad

60 Days to Go

60 days to go until my Muddy Dog Challenge for Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. My training plan is here. This just got real. My training app says I have clocked up 399km since my training began back in January. Even taking off the 68k clocked up by the car

Beagle Reviews - Twmbarlwm

Mum and Dad woke up this morning and declared they wanted to take us ‘somewhere different’. Cue lots of mumblings while they stared at that funny computer thing, then we got our harnesses on, hopped in the car and off we went. The journey lasted as long as a 30-minute

Muddy Dog Challenge Training Update. 177 days to go…..

So a beagle has been training hard. So hard. Since I started my training I have clocked up an impressive 154 kilometres! That’s 99 kilometres of walking and 55 kilometres of RUNNING. No wonder my legs feel shorter. I’ve done more too but Mum keeps forgetting to turn

Fundraising for Battersea Dogs & Cats Home

It’s happening! Mum and me have officially signed up to do the Muddy Dog Challenge in August…..a 2.5km run, over an assault course with dogs, mud and water….sounds messy! Why am i doing it? Having been adopted from a rescue centre, I couldn't be more grateful

Beagle Reviews - Nash Point Circular Walk

This walk takes us just under 2 hours. Park your cars here - CF61 1ZH. Pay the car park attendant two of your shiniest pound coins and you’re set to go. There’s a lovely café next to the car park with views out over the Channel. Mum and

Beagle Reviews - Cefn Mably Arms, Michaelston y Fedw

Everyone’s favourite local. Dog landlord Alfie Mably ‘The Cefn Cocker’ has created a warm and delicious smelling place which provides excellent under-the-table grub and, if you time your visit right, the odd free yorkshire pudding. Alfie has also been known to share his bar-top treat tub so keep your

Beagle Dog Holiday Blog - Day Five, Gwbert, St Davids, Cardiff

I wake up with a sharp piercing noise in my ears. What’s that, an alarm clock? On holiday? Madness! I am dragged out of bed at 8am but fortunately am fed breakfast which softens the impact of the early start. Apparently we have to check-out by 10am so Mum

Beagle Dog Holiday Blog - Day Four, New Quay

It is raining when I wake up so I visit the garden, have breakfast, attempt a raid on the bin and then we all drink tea on the sofa while the weather clears up. Fortunately it dries up pretty quickly so I continue napping while Mum and Dad are getting

Beagle Dog Holiday Blog - Day Three, Morgan Beach, Cardigan Castle, Cilgerran Castle, Poppit Sands and Tresaith.

Today we walk out from the cottage and head directly down towards the coast. My goodness, this place smells incredible. I have my nose to the ground and am pulling like a steam train. Dad seems less impressed for this to be happening so close to the cliff edge so

Beagle Dog Holiday Blog - Day Two, Gwbert, Mwnt and Tresaith

What a view! We arrived in the dark last night so this mornings trip to the garden was a surprise for us all. How invigorating to pee with the sea wind in your ears! After the garden we have breakfast and then i pop back to bed for a snooze

Beagle Dog Holiday Blog - Day One, the journey from Cardiff to Gwbert

Thought holidays were supposed to be relaxing. Why then Mum decides to take me and Chilli for an early morning run goodness only knows. Apparently it will make us sleep better in the car for our journey west. Back at home I have breakfast, check my food has been packed

Muddy Dog Challenge

Help. Mum is talking up about signing me and her up to do the Muddy Dog Challenge next year to raise money for Battersea Dogs Home. She has already mentioned ‘training plans’ and ‘healthy eating’. Neither of which are phrases that appear naturally in the beagle dictionary. If she forces
