The Crazy Beagle sends a hearty Happy Earth Day to all my friends. I celebrated Earth Day by doing the following:

• I saved energy by sleeping a lot.
• I saved energy by getting up once to eat.
• I created minimal gases by only going to the bathroom once today.

I love saving the world!

As I predicted from the start, the “big dog” predicted that the North Carolina Tar Heels would win the NCAA Basketball tournament. Now I can do what I do best…go to sleep.

What a great weekend!  I finally had plenty of sunshine so that I could take longer walks with my owner, I received a nice, relaxing bath, and my owner rented Hotel for Dogs.  I couldn’t ask for anything more. 

I found Hotel for Dogs a humorous, well put together, and heartfelt movie that moved me to appreciate my owners and my home.  I liked the attention given to my fellow canines with plenty of light-hearted energy that keeps this film from trailing too far into the average kiddie pandering territory. I found that the two legged stars were more than up to the task of holding their own on screen and did a great job of pampering and serving the pets (I especially liked that). I give it four paws out of four.

If you think I am scared of firecrackers, lawnmowers, vacuum cleaners, then the big boom we heard the other night sent me into the laundry room for cover.  They said it was a meteor, they said it was a satellite, and they said it was a jet.  Whatever it was, I don’t ever want to hear it again.
