Back by popular demand (i.e., any excuse): more beagle!

Wilbur, ever vigilant


Wilbur, so vigilant he sleeps with his eyes half open


Wilbur [vigilantly]: Is there anything to eat around here?

Wilbur and Ian von Wool Spaniel: it's hard yakka, being this vigilant

I love your dog and I suggest you never introduce him to me, for I may be sorely tempted to turn dog-knapper.
Our much-loved Max is a Ridgeback cross a lot of other things. I would post a picture if I knew how. He's getting a little elderly and is having some trouble with his legs.
When I was finishing the thesis I rented a room at Redfern to go quietly and pleasantly mad in and the landlord had this airedale terrier. God, it was a glorious creature! I don't know why people go for this Moodle rubbish when there are dogs like that and beagles!
(Yes, she started the dark Lindt bunny tonight).

You can't take Airedales into inner-city cafes and sit them down. In the absence of sheep or cows to chase around the field, they have to settle for members of the chattering classes, and that always ends up with screams and plenty of spilled coffee.

Moodle, labradoodle, puggle

I just want them for use in Scrabble.

The whole eugenicist implications of dog-breeding make me a tad uncomfortable. But if there is to be an übermensch, best to make it a beagle one.

M, I'd like to see you play "labradoodle" in scrabble!

All those moodles and labradoodles are generally straight out of the puppy farms anyway. Less scrupulous breeders do some awful, awful things. My sister does a wonderful rant about the way certain aesthetic features (or fetishes, more accurately) are prioritised over the long-term health of the dog.

A dog like that, Tim, is welcome to upset whatever it wants to upset!
