Scout (formerly Macquire) is doing great in his new home.  It's been two weeks now and he's adjusting to the new surroundings, the big back yard and a steady supply of chewies (which our cats have now convinced him doesn't include them.)  The first time he went out into the backyard, he approached our fish pond at full gallop.  Thinking it was the same 3 inch deep wading pool his foster home had in their backyard, he just ran right in... only to do what can best be described as a hound belly flop.  The pictures below where he's wet were right after this. 
Scout is a quick learner though.  He has only had a couple of accidents in the house and he already knows how to come, sit, lie down and roll over thanks to some hard work on the part of our kids.  This doesn't mean that the beagle doesn't come out in him once in a while though. He can be a little stubborn about going into his crate for example.  But he's a very playful and handsome addition to the family and the kids just adore him. 

Thanks for the great save.
