The Beagle Eating Hill
The Beagle Eating Hill (TM) is able to exercise its powers both from the bottom and the top. The top is actually more dangerous.
At the bottom of the hill, there are only a couple points that give reall good access to the underbrush, and if we can avoid those spots, we’re good. If we can’t, June usually spends a little time on the hill and then comes down looking for us, because we can move halfway up the dirt road that runs along the hill to where she can’t see us.
The designers of the park knew the top would be more dangerous, and therefore they put a fence along the top of the hill to separate the blackberry covered slope from the lovely field at the top. Sadly, dogs and/or people have put a number of holes in that fence. And Junebug happily runs through.
Next to the fence, there is a clear path, so its pretty easy for her to keep an eye on us, and we don’t dare go too far away fro fear she won’t find one of the holes to come back through (and she certainly can’t jump the fence, though Larry can). In addition, there are a million access points to the underbrush. And bunnies do live there.
Now it may seem like the easy answer is to avoid the top of the Beagle Eating Hill (TM), except that winter will be here, and it is wet and rainy here. We don’t really want the dogs running in the dirt at the bottom during winter, and we won’t be able to avoid the dog park because Larry NEEDS to run.
So, we will have to come up with better ways to keep June away from the fence and the siren call of the Beagle Eating Hill (TM)
