Horse, I hope your dad lets you have the beagle too. We have one and we love him. One of my kids in class calls him "One eyed Jack" because we had to have one of his eyes removed because the guy who had him before kept him outside and didn't pay attention to him, except to hunt and Billy (then Debo)got something in his eye and it exploded his lens and caused cataracts and glaucoma and it was causing him pain. You won't regret it, they are wonderful little things...little dog with big dog attitude.
