Beagle-isms
Beagle: n. One of a breed of small hounds having short legs, drooping ears and a smooth coat with white, black, and tan markings. (And don't forget the white floofy tipped tail!)
We are the proud parents of a 10 year old Beagle. He is commonly referred to as "HRH The Beagle", and although we pay the bills, it is HIS house. He just allows us to stay here. We are, in fact, a little cuckoo over this dog. He has the sweetest temperament. He doesn't bother anything. He's always extremely happy to see us. He sleeps with us, usually under the covers curled up right next to one of us.
<----- cutest dog ever!
I feel compelled to share some of the Beagle-isms that have become part of our every day dialect.
Yes, we are odd.
The Beagle has landed (this phrase is used when he crawls under the covers, twirls around a few times, then plops into instant sleep)
Beagle Rain (to the tune of Purple Rain)
Who’s the Beagle with the Beagliest Beagleness of them all?
E-L-W A –Y Elway Elway Elway! Elway Beagle.. Elway Beagle! Elway Beagle! Elway Beagle!
Forever let him hold his white floofy tail High! High! High! (a mixture of a couple of our obsessions)
I see a little silhouette-a of a Beagle…. (compliments of the late great Freddy Mercury)

Smell-way
Let’s go down to the Laundry
Let’s go down to the Laundry….
Let’s go down to the Laundry –
And Lock that Beagle up!
(This is the tune we sing to him each day when he gets "locked up")
He’s a Beagle in looooooove…. (tom petty)
Beagle! You silly little Beagle! Now you put your head in your paws oh no!
(Super Tramp, Dreamer)
Is there a Beagle in da hooouuuuse? I said – Is there a BEAGLE in DA HOOOUUSE?
He’s my little Toot Toot (deuce coupe)
UUUUU-ber Beagle! UUUUU-ber Beagle! (then say it real fast… like with a tenor + an orchestra + choral accompaniment) (I can’t think of the classical music title) UberBeagle! UberBeagle! U – B - --- E---- R BE-E-E-E-E-E-A-GULL!
Leave it to Beagle - Starring Elway Mills AS: The Beagle. (Hum the TV tune)
And still more - added 10/24/05:
We came up with a couple more while at Disney World
The Beagle's tail spins in a circle, like a propeller, so we sing "Will it go Round in Circles?" to him.
And when he decides to do the doggie thing and hump air, while standing on his hind legs, we sing "Do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight..."
More to come I'm sure.

I know there are more. Hopefully Ben will read this and chime in. At which time I will edit.
Don't you feel so much smarter now? :-)
Ah yes, we have edits....
Malier, lovely sister o' Ben, chimed in for us... Her husband, Pauly the Okie, refers to him as the Dark Beagle of Doom. I believe it has something to do with his charming Beagle odor. (Although this year, it could be because Elway is a Longhorn Fan. And the 'horns whooped up on the land thieves pretty darn well this year. ) ( For a change. ) :0) And Ben antagonizes the poor dog with the words BEAGLE SLAM! Elway runs and hides when he hears that phrase.

I'm suspecting that the choral tune you are thinking of is from Handel's Messiah called the "Hellelujah Chorus". A beautiful song as long as you don't have to sign it for a performance- it's just about impossible to get all the notes right. Also- don't forget Paul's contribution of "the Dark Beagle of Doom". We have also informed the BPS (Beagle Protective Services) that you are unfit parents and have requested sole custoday of Elway. Formal adoption papers are being drafted. If he magically disappears one day, he may have moved to Dallas. We will consider supervised visitation at the location of our choice if Ben promises not to body-slam Elway anymore. Just FYI. :)

What does HRH stand for? Human Really Human? His Royal Highness? Oooohhhh! THAT must be it... I think I answered my own question.
