four thirty-five-year-olds & quincy

It just occurred to me that Quincy is living with four thirty-five-year-olds. That is if you go by the 1 human year = 7 dog years equation. How did the dogs get to be five anyway? It seems like yesterday they looked like this...

Beagles usually have about fourteen years of sniffing, frolicking, footling, playing, chasing, eating, begging, lounging, baying, tracking, sleeping, and warming your heart. That's not nearly long enough.

At five, their black is already starting to fade to grey and they don't play quite as much as they used to. But don't get me wrong, they still have a lot of spunk left in 'em...

Who do you think is the boss?

We often talk about when to get another puppy so that s/he will learn from Berkley & Kai and pick up some of their quirks. They are such cool dogs. We can't imagine being without them.
