Doodlebeagle

As Adam says, Doodles is now as smart as a puppy. He also has similar interests. Doodles will eat food (as long as it's Cheerios and Veggie Booty) off the floor. He loves to try and pull the toilet paper off the roll. He responds to simple commands (such as "Splash, Doodles!" in the tub). He rips up newspapers and magazines. He finds a toy and singlemindedly mouths it until it's completely slobbered upon, and when he loses interest, he tosses it aside without a thought. Doggies like to swim; Doodles likes to swim. He even sort of barks like a puppy. If puppies spent their days trying to stand on their hind legs, the comparison would be complete. So I guess Doodles has one over the dogs.
