You all have perfectly described my 15 y/o Beagle! We pulled him from Animal Control when he was 3mths old and he's been a burden ever since. We kept him because we made the commitment when we signed the paperwork. We never had ANY idea he would live this long!
He has eaten completely through solid wooden doors, vinyl floors, airline carriers, chicken wire, carpet, you name it. He has broken all his teeth on the left side. He is stubborn and couldn't care less if we were in the house. He has the personality of a cat. Now he has chronic heart problems, lumps and bumps throughout, is deaf and almost blind, yet he still loves to lay out in the warm sunshine, dig out under the fence, and play with our other dogs occassionally. He is in his crate more than he is out of it since we cannot leave him out unsupervised.
As much as I love my dogs, I will be relieved when it's the Beags time to go. He is a prime example of why people should do their homework before getting a dog - we learned this the hard way!

I hereby nominate Kate to write the breed description for beagles in the next AKC all breed book! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Thanks for the nomination, Will, but I'm afraid after the censors got to it, all that would be left to publish would be the word "Beagle" and a picture.
I am getting so tickled that this talk about Beagles. I have a 10-12 year old Basset Hound named Annie. (she was a rescue so nit sure on the exact age) She is a total mess! She does what she wants, when she wants. And boy what a sassy mouth on her. She will LITTERALLY argue with me. If she is comfy on the couch and I say time to go out and she doesnt want to go, she will bark and howl until I give in and let her go back to sleep. Whats the appeal? You would only have to spend 10 minutes with a Beagle or a Basset to find the answer to that question. And she keeps my three GSD's in line as well.

Oh and the idiot that had that poor baby PTS....maybe the next time she spills a drink or a plate in the floor her hubby will do the same to her.
