This will be the final post of all the pups together as we will say goodbye to most of the litter later this week as they will be off to their forever homes.
Its bittersweet….
One or two of the boys will stay with co-breeders Mike and Karen to grow up and see if they will become show dogs. But everyone else will be loved companions. We are thankful to each incredible family who is adopting these guys. We know they are so lucky to be going home with you.
The pups are 7 weeks today and are spending more time playing outdoors. they have all mastered the stairs and love exploring the garden. I guess its time for us to clean up after the big windstorm aye 🙂
The babies are 6 weeks old. I can hardly believe it. 🙂 It snowed here in Seattle – yes – you read that right – snowed in November!! so, the puppies first days in the grass were with little bits of snow.
They loved playing out in the grass and leaves and exploring the yard with the big dogs – and boy did they take a big nap afterwards! I can see this is going to be a new daily activity for everyone 🙂
Enjoy xo

Time is now racing by. The babies have starting sleeping through the night by themselves without Maddy and Maddy is feeding them less and less. I guess those needle sharp teeth are starting to really hurt (I should know – owch!).
Their development is coming along leaps and bounds and we are loving their personalities emerging.
enjoy the final studio photos of them

I travelled to NZ last week so the babies spent the week with a friend of mine. While I was away, they grew so much. They found their voice! They have little growls and howls.
They started solids this week and they love it so much. And they are walking with confidence, and playing together.
Enjoy this week’s photos <3

Now that the beagle babies are getting bigger, they have moved to a day pen so they can hang out. we have started potty training using “yesterdays news” cat litter and dinnertime is eagerly awaited. They are growing up!!
The beagle puppies have turned 2 weeks old and they are growing so fast. They all have their eyes open and are starting to try and walk around – some are having more success than others are some are lighter than others. 🙂 haha.
we are loving them so much and they get regular snuggles and kisses. This week we will start puppy mush sometime and start to give Maddy some relief from being the solo feeder of them. She is doing an amazing job, but they are hungry little babies.
Nemo – 2lb 1.8oz
Rueben – 1lb 13.2oz
Pebble – 2 lb 0.09oz
River – 2lb 6.9oz
Lulu – 1lb 12.9oz
Gabriel – 2lb 8.2oz
The puppies are 1 week old and of course being a professional photographer by trade, I couldn’t help myself but take them into my studio for a quick shoot. My daughter helped and in 20 mins we were all done – warm air was our best friend for sleepy puppies 🙂

The beagle puppies are thriving under Maddy’s tender loving care. Her milk came in fast and not one lost any weight.
They all lined up tonight at the edge of the crate and I couldn’t resist taking a couple of photos.
<3 how can you not be in love??
Maddy’s temp dropped on Monday evening so we knew it was just a matter of time before her babies would be making an appearance. She was calm and sleepy and certainly made the most of her final days of beauty sleep.
The morning of her labor, I had gotten up several times to check on her in the night. While she didn’t want me to leave her alone, she also wasn’t ready for birth so I went back to bed.
In the morning, she decided the couch was where she wanted to have her babies. We had other ideas of course. Around 7am her water sack appeared and she promptly popped it. So, Brianna took her on a few walks around the yard and we waited for the signs of the first baby to appear.
At 8:50am our first baby was born – uneventfully. 🙂 A big bonny boy. 10.1 oz with a full white face and big wide blaze. i was officially in love and excited to see the litter if this was any indication.
Baby #2 came at 10:15. Another boy. 9.7oz – this one with a little J shape on his neck.
Boy #3 came at 10:47. He was 9.6oz and had a little spot in the middle of his neck.
Boy #4 arrived with a lot of noise. He was born feet first and at a whopping 11.7oz with loads of white.
Our next puppy was a GIRL – we had almost resigned ourselves to a full litter of boys so she was a fun surprise. A petite 9.5oz
And our final baby was a final baby boy – 11.6oz (again feet first).
Then Maddy went into rest mode. I thought there might be another one to come, so I made sure with an xray at the vet, but it showed we were all done. so we brought her home to enjoy her babies.
Boy oh boy, Maddy and AJ did good <3
