BLL - Big Lovable Lug. That’s Kyle, one of our Harrier-Beagles.
Kyle has a sister Katie, who is a good bit smaller than her big brother. Katie deserves her own post, so stay tuned.
Now, about Kyle.
He is 100% unbounded joy. When he sees you his tail starts wagging, then the wagging moves right up his body to his head. He is so happy to see his owners he just bounds with joy. He is a big, goofy, jump like a deer when playing dog. He’s all boy.
If there is a puddle of water in the backyard, Katie will walk around the puddle. Not Kyle. Oh no, he’ll run right through the puddle, then run back through it again, then decide there must be something buried under all that water and proceeds to furiously dig a hole to unearth his treasure. As he digs he, throws water and mud in all directions. As his head disappears into the watery hole we fear for his safety, but he’s fine. His head comes out of the hole, soaking wet with so much mud you can hardly see his face, and now, soaking wet and covered with him, he concludes there was nothing in the hole after all, and he decides to come into the house.
We see him approaching the house looking like a mud wrestler who lost, so we get towels ready to wipe him down before he comes in.
Just as we’re about to let him in, Katie decides that she misses her brother, and at the instant we open the door for Kyle, Katie gets between us and the door, and Kyle bounds into the house spraying mud all over everything. His body is muddy, his paws look like mud meatballs, and here he comes, wagging his tail, jumping on the bed, with the biggest smile you ever saw. He shakes his body to rid himself of the excess water and treats everyone near him to a mud bath. Any discontent with the mud he brought into the house is washed away by the joy he exudes which is infectious.
Like any young boy, Kyle is a handful of times, but we love him.
Kyle, our big lovable lug.
