Most dog owners, and absolutely every beagle owner should invest in a gps locator collar.
I own a beagle. You are correct, sir.
I tried the locator collar on my beagle. I knew what direction to run after him but I often couldn't catch him. A locator/ shocker collar turned my demon dog into an angel.
What kind of monster are you married to - not allowing the dog in the car? .
Yeah, it gives me pause sometimes........... but her other virtues make up for it. Her Explorer still looks brand new, so I guess she has a point. MY vehicle on the other hand.........doesn't.
While it's true that all liberals are crazy people, not all crazy people are liberals.
I guess I didn't realize how dated that 1st photo was. It's several years old. Since then, he's gotten fixed, and is going gray, so is like most of us in that there's more there than used to be.......... He's almost 10 years old now.

One time 15 years back, me and my Ex was about to leave on a ten day traveling/camping trip. We had three dogs, only one would be coming with us and we were rolling out that night. Just after dark we took all three dogs to a local park for a last walk, came back home, continued to pack. Twenty minutes later I noticed the dog in my avatar was missing.
What had happened was because of where we live we always fixed the cars so the inside lights would NOT come on when a door was opened. Leaving the park, both of us getting in, dogs jumped in the car in the dark, we just hadn’t counted how many.
OH CRAP! Busy multi lane highway and highway underpass intersection between us and the park, dark dog, nighttime
We drive out looking and there she was, one block away, head and tail down, fast trot towards home. She thought she was in trouble.

My wife's eyes roll audibly when she hears me call our beagle "Angel Puppy"...
I talked to a guy a couple years ago who had a story....
He was at the local Safeway, with his Lab chained in the back of the truck. Came out, the dog was gone, chain and all. No way by accident.
About a year later he was at Safeway, and came out to find his dog sitting in the back if his truck. Grinning. The dog and he were both ecstatic!
Goes to town now, dog is locked inside the cab.
I picked up a dog on the main street thru town one time. Bouchane??? Something like that- poodle looking. Looked a lot like Birdy's black hairy mutt. 30 below and the dog was frantically trying to stop someone, anyone, out in the middle of the road . I'm the sucker....
He stunk, Took him home, gave him a bath, wormed him, fed him up. Took me several weeks to find another sucker- a co-worker. I always knew when Tyler had done something, She would come in and greet me wilth "Damn you, **** ", then proceed to inform me of the dog's misdeed.
One day she came in laughing.
Tyler had gone out about 2 am, 10 below, would not come in, and she sent her hubby (big, oil patch worker!) out after him, wearing only his boots.
So he is calling "Tyler", until she informs him that the dog only comes to "Sweetie".
She said it's a damned good thing they don't have close neighbors.....
I trained my Lab to return home by giving him a Milk Bone with peanut butter on it when he returns. He's got a pretty big area that he roams but he stays in the immediate vicinity,..maybe a 400 yard radius of the house,..most of it a big field out behind my place. He checks out his route for about an hour then he's ready for his Milk Bone and a nap on his couch.
He makes his loop about twice a day.
I used to give my lab a milkbone when he returned from his pee/poop
Switched to potato chips and he went from a 6 minute dawg to a 3 1/2 minute dawg

Friend of mine drove for UPS for 30+ years. Always kept Milk Bones in his pocket for dogs on his route. Only got dog bit once in 30+ years of delivering packages.
My male wiener dog disappeared yesterday about 6PM, and I'm kinda embarassed to admit that I've been pretty tore up about it. I searched the woods around the house until dark last night, and was back at it 1st thing this morning. I had about decided that a fricking coyote must have gotten him, and have been plotting wholesale revenge on the whole species. Well.......... my wife went to leave in her Explorer a few minutes ago, and guess who popped up between the seats? I figured out that he snuck in there yesterday. We went to town in my vehicle, and I took a carseat out of mine and put it in hers. Damned dogs............
Great photo!!! Wiener Dogs are cool !

Glad to hear from people that care for their animals like all of you that have posted stories. Here's pics of my Munsterlander at work. Spoiled rotten but thats ok.

Not sure why you are embarrassed. If you weren't worried I'd wonder. (There are a couple of dog haters on here and they all show it every day. )
Glad to hear you found the pup!
Dachshunds can be great dogs - it sounds like you have a good one. My wife and I cried when our's, Ginger, died of heart failure a number of years ago.
Glad it worked out.
The DIPCHIT ADD, after a morning of drinking:
You despair, repeatedly, constantly! daily basis? A despair ninny. Sack up, despire ninny.
We spoil our surviving wiener dog, but they are ninjas. They seem to disappear behind a blade of grass. Glad yer ninja reappeared.

If you work 40 hrs/wk: at 5% inflation and after 5 years, you need a 28% pay raise or to work 44 more hours (*one full extra week* per month+) to make up the difference.
When camping with my young family we once accidentally left the family miniature doxie on a remote mountain top skid trail where'd taken a break.
It was hours before anybody noticed she was gone. Drove back up to that spot and there she was. Shivering with actual dog tears streaming down her long face.
Glad you found your buddy, but I'd suggest you go ahead with your coyote cleansing. They didn't become any less of a hazard just because you got lucky this time. ;-{>8
