Sami's automatic posture when there's food aroundThere's probably a lot of things that we all take for granted. Like ordering a pizza from the local pizza joint, that prepares the Italian pie just the way you like it. Well, there's only one game in town here at the Grand Canyon, and a few days ago, I had to give it a try. Maswick Lodge has a pizza pub, so I drove over and waited for them to prepare their whoop to do, supreme, top of the line pizza. The picture below looks pretty good, and it was OK, but not something that I'll be picking up on a regular basis.
Whenever there's food around, Sami's Beagle Nose goes into overdrive. She learned from a puppy that whenever there's anything edible around, if she sits up, the chances are much better that she might score a bite. We try and limit the amount of people food that she gets, but being old softies, whenever she sits up and begs, it's sometimes hard not to give her a treat.
Being almost 14 years old, our faithful Beagle is getting a little long in the tooth, and we're starting to see more and more signs of her advancing age. The average lifespan for Beagles is 12-16, so we know that our time with her is approaching the end. Except for her independent nose, she has been a wonderful member of our family, and it's going to be incredibly hard when it's time to say goodbye. Hopefully, that will still be a few more years down the road.
