This is Hawbranch Jackson Eggleston // adopted as Tater 3, born 31 July 06.  He is having a great time is Chapel Hill, NC.  His health is excellent.  He got a just a little problem with ear fungus, but cured right up.  He is totally up on his shots.  He has his Home Again Microchip imbedded.

Jack is a typical beagle, chews and loves to get into things.  He loves to table surf when he thinks no one is watching.  He has been known to get to the people's dinner before the people do.  He is best known for chewing up Grandma's glasses.  But Mom (Jan Eggleston) thinks he can do no wrong and takes him for lots of long walks.  He sleeps under the bedcovers and is a real snuggler.  No shoes are safe from his mighty jaws.  Luckily we are moving to a new house next month and he will get a big yard.  We will see how he reacts to bunnies and deer.  He is presently attending Petsmart Puppy obedience class.  He is the star pupil.  He is best at rolling over, worst at walking on a leash.  There are just too many good smells at Petsmart and he has to stop and sniff every six inches and you never get anywhere.

He is really really smart and can figure out lots of things, and is he fast.  He loves to fetch and play ball.  Stuffed animals and a particular favorite and he loves to chew off there ears and legs and pulls out all their stuffing.  He does have a lot of separation anxiety.  When left in the truck one day at Target, we got called to the managers office because he was screaming so loud.  As a pack animal, he never wants to be left alone.  Luckily he has Grandma around most of the time, but she has been rather mad at Jackson since he ate her glasses.  When Grandma went out of town at Christmas, he went to the Doggie Day Spa so he would not be upset about being alone.

Jack has NOT met a bunnie yet.  He has a rather shy personality and if rather a timid noncombatant type.  I bet he will be more aggressive once he meets yard bunnies and killer squirrels.  He is by far the smallest dog is Puppy Class, and he isn't totally intimidated by the boxer, lab mix, pit bull mix.  But other than shredding anything paper we can find and eviscerating his stuffed animals, Jackson has not exhibited any aggressive behavior.  And for a beagle, he is pretty disinterested in gulping his food.  He even likes grapes pickles and onions, a rather sissy mix for a dog.

Jack however thinks he is a real boy dog and has started marking things on his daily walks.  And although Jackson is rather unaggressive at many things, I suspect he may be very interested in the lady dogs.  I suspect he is more of a lover type, not a fighter type.

Anyway, he is doing GREAT and no health problems at all.

Hi chuck,

I just thought I'd share how Woodstock is doing. He's gotten soo big. He is very energetic. He and my cat play all the time it is the funniest thing. Still working on potty training he's almost got it. He's very stubborn, but incredibly sweet and lovable. He turns heads wherever we take him. He still has those gorgeous green/blue eyes. I've attatched some picturess. Thanks so much again!

Hi Chuck,

Just wanted to let you know that "Bridget", as Ali has decided to name her,
is doing fine.  She is full of mischief and personality.  The kennel
training is absolutely the way to go and she is learning to go
outside....most of the time.  Bridget is eating well and growing as you can
see from the attached pictures.  Happy New Year and will continue to keep
you up-to-date.  Debbie
