    Where would the punchline be in French-written newspapers’ funny section and in French-written, comic-reading websites?

    His French would have served him well if he had made it to Grenoble for the Olympics.

    Not so Charlie Brown:

    Although beagle-type dogs have existed for 2,500 years, the modern breed was developed in Great Britain around the 1830s from several breeds, including the Talbot Hound, the North Country Beagle, the Southern Hound, and possibly the Harrier.

    The ImTranslator 2.29-Google Translate actually identifies Begle as Haitian Creole and translates it to mean Bellow in English.

    And here I thought the origin of Beagle (the species) was tied to Charles Darwin.

    Well, both are good with cream cheese; one when you eat it, the other when it eats it…

    Dogs are my favourite animals. They’re so lovely. A border collie named Kathy tried to jump up at me a few weeks ago! She licked my fingers first while I was stroking her.

    I wonder if Snoopy jumps up? I’ve never seen him.

    @Snoopy_FanHello, Snoopy_Fan! I was going to leave you a comment on Peanuts last night but I forgot! I had the reply all typed out but forgot to send it! Sorry about that.-How was your Christmas? I hope it was delightful and lots of fun. My Christmas was lovely! I wasn’t commenting last year at Christmas as I was ill and didn’t feel much like commenting. So this year was much better.-I am pleased I got those musical words right! -Did you hear my voice recording? I’m sorry you were unfortunate enough to hear my voice on Christmas Day. LOL! Email me soon if you are able to.-I wish you all the very best for 2015. -You posted a beautiful ‘Merry Christmas’ picture the other day. Did you like my little animation? I thought it was so cute. I posted this lovely Christmas song at Andy Capp the other day too: Link-Anyway, I’m looking forward to your reply as usual.Hope you’re having a beautiful weekend!

    ♥♥♥

    Found this online: The name “Beagle” may have come from the French term “be’geule,” which means “gape throat,” referring to the dogs baying voice. The name may also have come from the dog’s size, stemming from the French word “beigh”, the Old English word “begele”, or perhaps the Celtic word “beag”, which all mean “small”.
