Oh, I am so bad at keeping up with this. Yesterday I picked up a beagle from the Ottawa county pound. The received a call about her before Christmas that she was running loose. No one could get near her. The neighbors were all putting out food and water for her as the temperature was sub zero. They even had a trap set for her. They didn't want to dart her because of the risks. Finally they caught her after about a month. There was someone that said they wanted to keep her, but she was in heat and they didn't want her until she was out. So the dog warden agreed to keep her until then. But then once she was out of heat, they didn't want her. By that time the dog warden had become attached to her and named her Ginger Bay, since she was found on the Sandusky Bay and Ginger because it's a cute name. I kept trying to get Planned Pethood to take her into their program, but we already had at 2 female beagles. Finally we were down to only 1, and they agreed to take her. Well it probably helped when I told them how Ginger will cry and has tears coming out of her eyes when she doesn't get her way, be it wanting whatever you're eating or getting out of her kennel. She's a cutie, but in typical beagle fashion all she cares about is smells. When I finally figured out I needed to be between her and the wind, I got a few decent shots of her. It didn't help today it was so windy and her ears were flapping around.
