The beagle howls at night

So it seems as though all I can talk about lately is my puppy - sorry at least I am posting. But, yesterday he started doing two new things. The first was playing fetch. Usually I will throw a toy and he will fetch it, but he wont give it up again so I can throw it. Last night I threw it, and then he ran back and set the toy in my lap. He has also began to go in his cage at night without crying or barking - which I"M happy about. Except last night. Last night he began to howl. I had never heard him howl before just bark and whine. When I tell people that I got a beagle their common response is, "beagles howl." Well I just thought since T'rone was a breed he didnt...but oh yes he does and let me just say for the record it is horrible.

I've also begun putting him outside in the fenced in backyard after breakfast so that I can go back to sleep for an hour or two...and he HATES it. I dont understand. There is a whole backyard...GO PLAY! I just leave him out there... he stops whining after about 2 minutes. I'm sure my neighbors love it ;)

No-mess in the house count: 48 hours. He pooped in the house on Sunday, but that was kinda my fault I knew it was his pooping time, but I accidentally fell asleep while I was waiting for him to finish eating...

This is the last week of classes - final on Friday. Then, I will have 7 Masters classes under my belt and 6 to go...I'm over half way done.
