Seeing Double (Trouble)

last year

Double trouble has arrived in the Beagle household as Jumper is joined by sister Skye. Found as a stray and described by the rescue as "shy," Skye is anything but and has taken the house by storm, bringing playful energy and a lot of wiggle waggle.

We are now done with adding doggos (though fault of the husband, not me!) and Jumper and Sky have developed a DEEP love for each other in the 3 weeks since Skye came home.

They are both Tennessee transplants, although J is from Memphis and Skye from Knoxville, and they adore the kids beyond all reason, which is a mutual feelling! Both are perfect!

Skye is believed to be around one, but she was found wandering alone and no family ever came for her so they don't know for sure.

Jumper knew he needed a friend. He was OBSESSED with other dogs. Every dog we saw anywhere, he had to go and see, and he got so sad and would lay down and cry a little if the owners said the dog was not friendly, and he couldn't say hi. We could not let him be without a buddy. He and Skye play and lie down on each other every minute of the day. They are a little pile of beagle love at all times <3

Because of Jumper's past abuse, he has some fears. He's very afraid of my father-in-law, who has the same beard and bald head as his past abuser, though they are different races. We have been working very hard on this because we are with my in-laws a lot, and it has improved with my father-in-law giving him tons of treats, but Jumper still initially shakes when he sees him. We went to my in-laws like 2 hours after we got Skye, and even though she barely knew Jumper, when Jumper started to shake when my father-in-law first came in, Skye comforted him immediately.

As I mentioned in the past I think, Jumper also hated the car and drooled in it and did not want to get in. We put him and Skye in a shared crate in the car. Skye has no car fears and loved jumping up and getting in -- and now Jumper does too!

Jumper, for his part, has taught Skye how to sit for treats!

Congratulations on the new addition. We were a 2 kids, 2 dogs family also. Though at some point my arm was twisted into 2 rabbits and 2 cats and 2 dozen chickens so, you never know. Have fun and embrace the joy!

Some dogs are meant to have a partner. Looks like this is the case in your household. Way to go!

Thanks! No rabbits, cats, or chickens for us -- we travel too much! Dogs are loving each other and loving life. We are so lucky to have found them <3

I wonder if Jumper knew he needed a friend? A match made through serendipity. Love it.

How old is Skye?

Aw Beagles, that's the best part about having 2. They learn so much more from each other. I loved when we got our 2nd, who was a baby when he came home. He watched his big sister relentlessly and modeled behavior.

Beagles are such wonderful dogs. Please keep posting updates, they're rays of sunshine. 😊

Sounds like the perfect addition to the family!

Let your FIL and Skye do some bonding on their won, as you don't want Skye to pick up Jumper's fear of FIL. Make sure Skye models normal behavior with your father-in-law and it will help Jumper warm up to him and lose his fear.

Skye is very happy with my father in law. She was sitting on his lap today. Jumper was watching from across the room. He'll get there in time.
