Beagle: off topic! Re: Saliva test question:

[Guest guest]

Sam! I totally read that story about the beagle this a.m.! I was

tickled pink. Dogs are the greatest. I especially like them a little

rascally, independent and a wee bit obstinent for personality. (like

my dingo was.) I hear beagles are a little " difficult " on the

personality side (thinking for themselves)... but that makes them

more lovable!

ps. i'm keeping this email for my interpretation. thank!
