I have 13" beagles as well. I'm in chowan county. I don't know if any of yall have seen pictures of what Isabel did to us, but it some places trees are on top of trees, so it's really hard for the dogs to even get in there. One or two can get in the tree pile but not the whole pack. I guess just going to have to wait until all of it dies down. On the up side went today in a fresh cut down where the trees won't so badly torn up. We managed to kill 17. Best day had all season.
