Beagle Patrol hits a Jackpot!

What's with the animals in my neighbourhood? First, it was the cat and the kitten who decided to make the bamboo tree in my backyard their home. Now, this beagle has spotted another intruder in our front yard. A tree shrew or what it's known as "tupai" in Malaysia decided to occupy our benjamin fig tree in our front yard. I tell you between patrolling the front and back yard, this beagle needs reinforcement against the neighbourhood pests.

In one of those rare moments, my human managed to record this beagle in action and even managed to catch the shrew in action. Be warned though, you really need to have sharp eyes to spot that conniving shrew jumping across the branches midway through the one-minute video.



Unfortunately, this beagle was not successful in hunting down the shrew. It started to drizzle shortly after this video was shot. Whilst, I wasn't about the let the shrew off the hook so easily (after all what's rain but a little water???), my human decided to carry me back into the house, muddy paws and all. I can't believe I had to suffer such indignity!
