This is what we see when we pull into the driveway. All six dogs, ready for dinner.

The young beagle has torn the shit out of the left side of the privacy screen on the gate. We bought another one and it awaits free time for installation.

We added a sixth dog a few months ago, Mama Bear. She’s the black one in the middle with her tongue hanging all the way out. We found her abandoned on the side of I-30, and got her a bunch of vet care and deworming to get her back up to snuff.

All the dogs are complete love machines, we don’t have a ton of problems with misbehavior, though the beagle likes to pull the bedsheets out the dog door and dance around the yard underneath them.
