Yes, my dog is tied up in the backyard on a tree.

I realize this makes me probably the worst human ever, but seriously, she is driving me nuts!

Holly is in heat.  Champ can't handle himself.  This affects her eating and potty habits.  So after 2 days, I kid you not, after 2 days she still hasn't gone #1 or #2.  Solution- tie gross heat beagle outside until she goes.  This is also good for me because I don't have to walk around with the wooden ruler smacking Champs bottom every time he tries to "get piggy back rides" as my poor little niece witnessed and explained ever so kindly one day.  Yes, I tap him on the butt with a ruler because he conveniently forgot what "NO!" means.

Tom did tell me once never to post things about Holly being in heat, but if I have to suffer someone else should too.  On that note, does anyone want a super abnoxious female beagle?
