Sassy is a beagle hound Nice little dog to have around. Chasing rabbits, her favorite play Running, barking all the way. She will swim the small lagoon Tracking down an island coon. Why the expression "dumb dog" She's smart To get attention is an accomplished art. Her most used bluff is the injured paw Cutest trick you ever ... More..

The wind blew hot gusty droughts of air across the fields. Sand lifted from arund the grass tufts and felt like needles on our skin The sky was black with clouds of water but not willing to share a singe drop.
