I was still getting dressed early this morning when the Mustang went off. She’s my alarm system for anything weird going on. So I looked out at the pasture, and all horses were on point, aiming at the road.
Switched windows to look at the road, and here came a pack of hounds down the road. All of them were at a working trot, like they were on a mission. No straggling, sniffing, etc. They looked like tall Beagles, but they were silent, which doesn’t resemble any Beagles I’ve known. About 15 of them, definitely in a pack, booking on down the road like they were heading to an appointment, actually on the road, not wandering to the sides or in the ditch.
No people. No cars. Nobody in sight at all, and due to the setup of my farm, I can see nearly 1/2 mile in each direction. These dogs were apparently alone.
For what sort of prey would people keep a pack of Beagles? And why would the whole pack be out at dawn on their own?
The horses were quite fascinated. Wish I’d thought to grab the camera. The dogs were a neat sight, all trotting along together in the dawn.
