Anyone ever have recurring dreams that at the time seem real
I continuesly have a dream that my old beagle brownie is at the door just wanting to get after some rabbits when i reach behind the door for my gun i seem to wake up
cant quite figure it out but i miss that ole boy so been over 45 yrs since we last chased bunnys together and to this day still feel gut punched from his passing

That reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode. The Hunt?

I don’t dream about him, but I lost my best beagle, Bob, 39 years ago. Man was he a hunting machine. We hunted a lot of multiflora rose. At the end of the day he would be a bloody mess. The tip of his tail would be raw and the sides of his body would have a big red spot from wagging his tail so hard it would hit his sides. I would take him in the house and lay my hunting coat on the floor and he would sleep on it. He wore himself out chasing rabbits

When Bob saw a shotgun he would go nuts. He would jump up and down and bark, he thought we were going rabbit hunting. I hunted ducks in a river about a quarter mile behind the house. Before I went duck hunting I would put Bob in the house so he would not see me leave. I was married at the time and when my wife would get up she would let him out. I knew when she was up because I could hear Bob howling and following my trail back to my duck blind. He would show up and then I would be hunting ducks with a beagle and a Chesapeake Bay retrevier.

I dream constantly. Bizarre dreams.
But I often do dream about my pets current and past. When my beagle Sampson was getting old and losing weight with renal failure, I can still feel his little body in my arms, the exact way he felt when I picked him up, and his silky floppy ears.

Growing up we had a beagle, Judy who was a hunting machine. My brothers and I always got our limit of rabbits, and she ran them so slow we would hunt w/.22's. She would be so exhausted, we carried her back home in the back basket lined with a towel.
