Hudson - The Beagle has Landed.

Just had to use the famous words, "Houston - the Eagle has Landed". The other day I had to go and get my hair cut as I was beginning to look like a very shaggy sheep dog. On entering my favourite saloon for my appointment with owner Mel, I thought my appearance had brought me to the local dog grooming parlor.

I would like you all to meet Hudson, Mel's beagle that had occupied the waiting area in his usual majestic way. He gives that look that says, "I'm the boss and I will do whatever I like". I didn't argue and waited my turn for my grooming, it's a dogs life sometime.

Nice one Heather, I would be tempted to crop to the top of the head to eliminate the cars.

[Phil Cameron]

@thresheg @libertylady @ianrm Thank you all for your comments, much appreciated, I'm sure Hudson couldn't be bothered either way.

I've had beagles and latterly chows and they both know their own minds and this one looks to be no exception. That's a great name for a dog. Fav

@virtualbrownie Thanks for your view and FAV, Hudsons a lovely dog but I'm not sure I could control it, I need to be the leader of the pack.

[virtualbrownie]

@ladymagpie they are independent, as I suspect you are - so there may be a clash of wills....

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@virtualbrownie Hudson is, If he wants to sit on the waiting area furniture he just does and looks around at everyone.
