The highlight of every school day is going with Chrissy to pick up Matt and Dave. Every school day at 3:00 pm we pick up Matt and then at 3:25 pm we pick up Dave. As we sit and wait for them to come out of school, I like to watch all of their "friends" come out of the building. I get really excited when I am finally able to pick Matt and Dave out of the crowd.
Some of their friends are girls, some are boys, some are happy and some are sad, some have band and orchestra instruments, and some don't, while others have backpacks and some won't. But one thing all of them have is their own individual style. Their individual styles range from no hair, to hair of different colors and different lengths. Their clothing runs the gambit from shorts and tees to sweats and jeans. Their shoes range from flip flops to Doc Martins. And I have yet to figure out why they have earrings in their noses and lips!
All of this gets me thinking that even though Beagles have their own style it is more of a "personality" then a "fashion statement". Beagles are one of the easiest dogs to maintain in the world. . .okay, the Chinese Crested may have it a bit easier. . .but what I am getting at is it isn't easy for us to change our looks. . .except for maybe one way. . .the way we wear our ears!
For example, here is the normal Beagle look:
Then we have the Tao-Ming Beagle look:
Then there is the Flip-Over Beagle look: (no offense to you Comb-Over Guys):
And finally we have the Princess Leia Beagle look:
Even though these are all cool styles for a Beagle, we can't be trendsetters to you humans because your ears don't hang low. But one area that Beagles can set a trend is for a human to copy our markings. 
Check out Matt's sock tan resulting from two weeks of Marching Band Camp. It is the ultimate compliment to this Beagle Hound! Don't you just love it?
