the neighbor's beagles are out again

[Bertha Venation]

They're out in the woods behind our house, baying for all they're worth, digging their freedom. We've lived here for twelve years, and they get out at least twice a year. It's very aggravating.

I hope they don't wake Mrs. V.

Thank you for listening.

1. My dear Bertha...

That's got to be tough to deal with. The noise is bad enough, but digging?

You have my sympathies. I hope they don't wake Mrs.V. either.

2. "Digging their freedom" means enjoying their freedom. Can you dig it?

[Bertha Venation]

4. you

[Bertha Venation]

3. Oh -- "digging"

as in "enjoying." It is impossible for anyone to dig to any depth in our hard red Maryland clay.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Oh, of course!

I get it now!

6. They do have an annoying bark.

Our dumbass neighbor had one in a pen.... the poor thing bayed at every critter that passed by. I am so glad they are long gone.
