5. Our first family dog was a beagle and she was old and tired, but smelled a rabbit and took off like a rocket.

We took her from the country, but never got the country out of her (including raiding the trash can to her dying day!).
I'm trying to find ways to see more critters in the wild rather than in the zoo, so I'd love to see a black bear, but I'd rather not when our dog is with us. I don't need a live repeat of the old disney movie "The Incredible Journey", because my wife would likely go after the bear if she felt the dog was threatened (not joking). I was really hopeful when we took the Branson Scenic Railway, but alas I'll have to wait for another day!
I've heard that there have been some cougars entering the area from further north, but so far the hunters have been killing them as fast as they arrive. I've been hopeful about wolves coming in from Minnesota, but I'm afraid they'd meet the same fate. Maybe they'll work their way in following the Missouri River.
