Sorry to hear about your beagle. I had a cat I was pretty fond of that just didn't come home one day. It's never easy losing a pet. Squirrels are awesome. I remember being up in Yosemite in Curry Village, and I had some peanuts and a huge squirrel came up to me and I fed him out of my hand until he thought my finger was a peanut. Ouch that hurt lol.
