Huckleberry the Beagle from Hell
My sister felt badly for her youngest son. He had no one to play with at home, since his older brothers were off at school, so she got him a beagle. He named him Huckleberry Hound, after the cartoon character. (Here’s a picture to jog your memory of what he looked like.)
Beagles, when they’re made of celluloid, are cute little buggers. However, they come equipped with an insatiable hunger and a dogged persistence to get what they want.
My sister’s dog, Huckleberry, is such a chow hound, she needs to have a lock on her refrigerator – or he’d eat the entire contents – plastic bags and all! Her bread drawer also sports a child lock – because he’ll eat a whole loaf of bread for a snack.
Last Thanksgiving, her fridge lock began to fail, but she thought Huck wouldn’t figure it out. On Black Friday she and her husband went to snag some deals. When they got home the turkey carcass was in the middle of their living room carpet – stripped clean. The fridge was decimated, but she had a contented beagle.
So -here’s to Huckleberry, the Beagle from hell!

Yeah, our beagle didn’t work out for us, so we let it out into the wild where it could be free.
