I have a beagle mix and he moans and groans a lot when he's happy. Does yours do that?

(Legitimate question. Never had a dog do that before. LOL.)

Our current beagle, Brock, is our fourth.

Brock does what your referring to I think, sometimes right after he lays down he makes a long groan, it's not really a groan but I don't know what else to call it.

None of the other beagles we had did that, but as a breed they are very vocal, they can make a bunch of different barks, moans, whines, yips, etc.

Every one we have had snores, our third, Abby was just an out of control snorer, unbelievably loud and snored regardless of the position she was in.

Most of us don't spend all day on DU and catch every post we might like to read. No way to search. So, as this board hopefully is getting bigger, please let go of the "I saw/posted it first. So there.".

If so, pat yourself on the back, then just cruise right on past it. But don't deprive other people who might not have seen or read it of that privilege.

And the one word used in your post...? I'm guessing you meant duplicate. Two entirely different words.

ETA: Notice the happy comments because of it.

we have been seeing this ad for some time, up in Northern New York.

OUr TV NBC affiliate is WPTZ from Plattsburgh and we get lots of Burlington and other VT area news. They have been running this ad for awhile. Quite a powerful ad.

And I always tear up when I see/hear the "America" ad.

Yea, this campaign just might have legs...

LOL!!

Bernie on the farm reminds me of when he turns up for the milking contest at the "Strolling of the Heifers" in Brattleboro, Vermont, every year. (Great event, early June, if you're ever in the area.)
