Hector you may be a bit plump but you are a handsome fellow! As you pointed out there is just more of you to love. I grew up with a Beagle in Nashville, Tennessee. He was very laid back as well and sociable. Every day he made his rounds of the neigborhood. The dog I have now is a Beagle mix. He is not so laid back but loves other dogs and we love him! Loads of love and biscuits! :-)
