My Dog Can Moo... Can You?

Who'da thunk it?

Beagles can moo. At least, Charlie can. I swear, the little mutt makes this grumbly, throaty cow-noise whenever you make him move. Just to give you a "for instance," he was on my side of the bed last night, so I picked him up and moved him over a foot.

"Mmmmmooo," grumbled Charlie. He shifted himself onto DH's pillow. DH picked him up and moved him back to the middle.

"Mmmmmooo," grumbled Charlie.

This morning, Sam (the two-year-old) pulled his tail. Charlie didn't snap, bite or growl. But he did moo.

So I did a little research on the company dime, and it turns out that Charlie's bovine behavior is pretty common to beagles. They grumble when they're displeased, though they're not prone to violence... and in Charlie's case, it comes out like a moo.

Guess that explains why he eats grass.
