People walk on it, jog on it, push baby carriages on it. roller blade on it, gossip on it, kiss on it, and last but not least, they walk their dogs on it.
The other morning, with fresh snow carpeting the ground, I passed a single walker, and his bouncing beagle! And I mean the beagle was literally bouncing. He was so excited to be out in the snow with his owner.
Excited and bouncing are rather apt adverbs to apply to beagles!
They get on a scent and just go...and go....and go!
I've known many an energetic beagle in my day. Dawleyville had tons of beagles, and then those beagles had more beagles. Creative names like Girl, Girl-Sister, Henry, Old Henry, Puffer Belly, Crooked Tail, and Hortense were assigned and called out many time. When the pups ran lose in the woods, we'd call them in with the shouts of "The kids, the kids, the horrorful kids". They'd all bounce and bound from the woods and over the stone wall ready to play some more!
My cousin has a beagle named Binks. My friend has a beagle named Shiloh. They are bouncy beagles, too, and they are well loved!
It is so nice to have the River Trail in Putnam, since I use it to not only walk and jog on myself, but I also love to see so many others enjoying it, too - including bouncing beagles!
I am a Putnamaniac because I love the River Trail, and I love to see beagles bouncing on it!
