We debated getting a beagle; Dixie won

WE WERE AT THE DOG PARK
The last couple of years of Lady's life, Holly and I often talked about getting another dog. Holly didn't want to get another dog while Lady was alive. I understood her reasons (a lot of worry and pressure on an old dog).

 We also talked about the type of dog we wanted. I was leaning to a beagle (small, short-hair), but, again, Holly wasn't so sure. She was afraid a beagle would be too loud for the neighborhood (we went through that years ago with Buddy, although he was a mutt, not a beagle).

 Dixie's a beagle, but she's not loud at all. Where Lady was pretty talkative for a dog -- she actually mimicked human speech when trying to talk to us -- Dixie has been amazingly quiet. And she doesn't wake up the neighborhood.

 The only time she's made any noise is when she's tried to chase away a dog, mostly at the dog park. Otherwise, she's as quiet in the neighborhood as Lady was.

 NOTE: Lady passed on Sept. 17, 2016.
