Beagle puppies are 4 weeks ~ Woodinville Seattle AKC

Today the wee babies turned 4 weeks – a month sure has flown by so fast!

The beagle babies are growing still – their new skills include walking, jumping (and flopping) and wrestling. They have started solids and are starting to wean off Maddy, sleeping 10 hours alone through the night (with not a peep). They are also consistently going poop in the litterbox so that is great for cleanup 🙂

Their latest pictures are here – i think this will be the last set I can do on my own as they are so fast and dont want to stay in one place at all – I’m going to try and recruit my kids to help next week.

Enjoy them xo

Latest weights:

Girl 1 – 3 lb 14.8oz

Girl 2 – 3 lb 15.5oz

Boy 1 – 4 lb 11oz

Boy 2 – 4 lb 1.5oz

Beagle puppies turn 2 weeks ~ Woodinville Seattle WA AKC Beagle

Maddy’s beagle puppies are 2 weeks today and continuing to thrive. They are getting bigger daily and now all have their eyes open. They are not strong enough to walk yet, but are blobbing around on their bellies.
Current weights are:
Girl 1 2 lb 6.5oz
Girl 2 2 lb 7oz
Boy 1 2 lb 12 oz
Boy 2 2 lb 6.2oz
we are surprised that boy 2 is now the smallest, but with steady growth we aren’t concerned that there is anything wrong. Enjoy their latest pictures 🙂

Puppies are here

2 Comments

With nothing really happening last night, we decided to go to bed.  I got up every 2 hours to check on her.  While restless, nothing much was happening.

This morning, she woke me up around 6am, and wouldn’t let me out of her sight.  Around 8:45 she started pushing and by 8:58 we had our first baby born safe and sound.  10.2 oz baby girl.

After a quick rest, she gave birth to another girl at 9:31 – this one was a little bigger at 10.9oz.

She rested again and with no assistance whelped her first son – all 11.4 oz of him, at 10:15.

Her fourth and final baby was born at 11:16 – another little boy – 10.9oz.    Yep – 4 puppies in 2 hours and 18 minutes – what a rockstar!

Maddy is a natural momma and she and the pups are dong so well already.  I have to resist the urge to go and pick them up all the time.

I am very excited to see them grow up 🙂

D-Day has arrived – Puppies are on the way

One of the first signs that whelping is imminent is to have a sudden drop in temperature.  I temperature check morning and night from day 58.  I dont want any surprise deliveries.

Maddy’s temperature dropped this morning – she is hanging out with me and in her puppy pen.  Although when I locked her in there, this was her face.  Mommy’s girl do you think?  Ha!

Cant wait to make the announcement of their safe arrival sometime soon 🙂

Watching…waiting….a watched pot never boils over right?

She’s sleeping a lot right now and we are glad to let her do it.  The puppies are all well formed and now just waiting for the right time to be born.  Today marks day 60 since ovation or 59 days since her first breeding.  Dogs can whelp from day 58 – 64 so we are confident there will be puppies sometime this week.

We are taking Maddy’s temperature daily – when it drops from 99 – 101 to below 98 we know that there will be babies on the way soon.

I’ll be in touch with the happy news 🙂

Beagle Puppy Xray

About a week before whelping, I like to do an xray to get an idea of how many beagle puppies we are expecting. That way, if labor stops and you know there is a puppy or two left, we can call for help and intervention (if need be)

We did a top view and side view. You can see the little skeletons – they kind of look like little lizards don’t they 🙂

From the top view, we can clearly see 4 – two on each side. From the side view, it almost looks like a 5th is tucked up by her leg. Or maybe that’s just a shadow. Either way, we are excited that there will be 4-5 puppies coming soon.
Of course, we need to get them safely into the world – so much can go wrong, and so we are hoping and praying for a safe delivery of all of them, no matter how many or few there are.
