Meet Bagel the Beagle. Despite the recent flea explosion, she is the star of our household… except for in Daddy’s eyes. It took over a year to convince my husband (who is now my ex-husband) that the children needed to grow up with a dog like I did. When he finally agreed, the children and I took a trip to a local kennel to begin our search.

A year has gone by and she still has a way of getting all the attention any dog could ask for.

And sometimes not ask for…

Then there is Bagel’s beloved boyfriend…who takes her outside for her midnight potty break.

And since Isabelle is used to being last but certainly not least – here they are having some quality snuggle time!
