one week into the “sleepover” and for the most part Char Siu is doing pretty well. he and Isis seem to have become friends. he’s not as affectionate as Isis, but he definitely seems to have bonded to Wendy and I.
two problems though: 1) the separation anxiety is bad. he HOWLS whenever we leave him at home. the rescue group and i both thought he would be okay with Isis at home with him, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. he definitely wants human contact. i’ve been trying to train him off it, but it’s been hard so far.
2) he pees. inside the house. often. supposedly he is housetrained, and for the most part he seems to do okay. but for some reason, he pees every now and then. and it wouldn’t be so bad if it were just on the carpet… but he always seems to go for our white (okay, now yellow) rice paper lamp. sigh.
anyway, we’ve just passed the halfway point in the two-week sleepover and Wendy and I will have to make the decision as to whether or not to keep him. it’s a pretty tough one. we love him already, he’s a great furball of fun and energy, and we can tell he’s enjoying his stay with us. and we’re definitely enjoying having two beagles around. giving him back to the rescue group would only compound his separation anxiety issues even more…
i’m 75% sure we’re going to keep him….
…if only because last night he decided his bed was too far away from me and he came over to my side of the bed, dragged my shorts over, and curled up on my shorts and promptly fell asleep.

Char Siu looks cute enough to eat.

Take him out as much as you can and when he pees or poo, give him a dogfood stick and congratulate him. In one or two weeks, he should be able to hold, but there will be always some accident.
About the dog in the bed, its only the beginning. My beagle sleeps between my gf and I, preferably next to our face. And you are the lucky one if you get to touch her nose…(still better than the butt). We are thinking about a strategy just right now..
Beagle are great, once trained.
