An addition to our animal family.

                                      Meet Copper! 

                                                    A.K.A Thunderbolt. We had to change the name. 




I've been wanting a Beagle since we moved and while we did a little online searching we weren't searching too incredibly hard. See I don't do puppies, have no patience for that! I love animals but I have a love hate relationship with them. To me they are an animal, yes they are apart of my family but the very small part of our family, a disposable part. Sorry to you dog rights
lovers type! Anyways Friday night while checking out the Elk County Online Garage sale site I came across this picture (above). What a cutie!!! He's a year old Basset hound/Beagle mix. The family who had him just had no time for him and with a 2 year old, a baby on the way, and working full time he was crated most of the time. Price wise he was right in our budget...FREE!!! Couldn't resist!!! He does need a bit of training, the normal stuff like sit, stay, lay down, off...really just simple dog manners. But he's potty trained, crate trained and is use to a shock collar. Added benefit he plays!!! Trent needed a buddy and Harley at 6 does nothing but lay around so he loves his new buddy!!
