A shot of my very talented beagle Yashka, Chinese name Xiaojian. Since he was a puppy he seems to prefer defecating on vertical surfaces. While outside, he will find trees to suffice. In our house, the two dogs have adopted a solarium as their bedroom. When we aren't at home they stay in their room which has a wire kennel which acts as their bathroom. They have been trained to use it since puppyhood. However, from time to time he can't resist the urge for a Wall Dump.

A shot of my two beagles Mushka (left) and Yashka (right) about to bay or howl. I have treats in my hand and they've been trained to bay on command. I love Mushka's face here in particular as she tends to go cross-eyed pre-bay.
