Rosie is being a wonderful momma – her puppies want for nothing as they eat and sleep and eat and sleep all day long. They are growing little little flowers and it was definitely time that I updated their photos.
We also decided on a litter theme. My teen daughter’s fav book right now is “Pride and Prejudice” and so we went with that for our blog theme.
So, without much further ado (see what i did there :P)
They are just getting so big – for little blobs 🙂 Rosie is such a wonderful mom and keeps them well fed and satisfied. They are so adorable and we love to snuggle them – we know that before much longer their eyes will be open and they will be ready for play not cuddles. So we get them while we can.
I was so proud to pilot Watson myself this weekend and we got Best Of Breed on Saturday under judge Mrs Donelle Richards. We then went on to make the cut in a competitive toy group and even played in the Owner handler group.
I am very proud of this 2.5 year old boy who is proving to hold his own and we are just a few points shy of his Grand CH now.
We gave the beagle babies their first meal – they all LOVED it. They all ate with great gusto. Honestly I cant quite believe how confident they are on their feet and strong they are. They are growing up way too fast!
One of the things I am most grateful for is the community that has developed around these precious little dogs.
One of Walter x Madison’s pups owners decided it would be so fun to get everyone together for a 3rd birthday party. So – we gathered from around OR and WA and met for an afternoon of fun, presents galore, great food and a pool party.
The pups are Bradley, Ruthie, Rosie (who I own), Poppy and Ella. Bradley lives with his nephew Bucky, Poppy has her 1/2 brother River and Ella has her uncle Sullivan. So there was a lot of excitement to get them all together.
There were prizes for the loudest bark, the longest ears, the best behaved, the one with the most white, the best ball catcher – it was so so fun.
Rosie had pups 5 days earlier, but we still went. She had a quiet area of the house she could retreat to when she needed to, and she would come and out and socialize when she wanted to. It was well worth the 9 hour drive there and back 🙂
Enjoy some of the 100s of photos taken. I felt so blessed to be part of this and know my dreams of a Kazuri family are coming true.

I love it when puppies open their eyes. Beagle pups that are content are just so scrumptious and Echo is taking care of her babies every needs – they want for nothing. They are rolly polly balls of glory. I am in love.
Enjoy the photos of them – I couldn’t wait for 2 weeks as their eyes are already open.
Arthur and Rosie’s pups are thriving and so today I took some photos with my actual camera (rather than my cell phone). They are now 2 days old and gaining weight wonderfully. Hope you enjoy the photos of these sweet little beagle babies. I still haven’t named them for the blog yet – coming soon (I promise)
We knew Rosie was close – she had been nesting all night and so that morning when she was uncomfortable and needing to “pee” constantly, we knew she had to be pretty close.
Around 12:30 she started big contractions and by 12:55pm she had baby #1 – a lovely 9.45oz girl.
Baby #2 came shortly after around 1:15 – a boy weighing in at 11oz.
Baby #3 was another boy – they just kept getting bigger (poor Rosie) – 11.10oz.
And true to form, at 2:20pm she had baby #4 – another girl who weighed in at 11.54oz.
We knew we were waiting on one more baby. It wasn’t long before Rosie was pushing again. This time, I knew it was a big baby – the head came but she couldn’t seem to get the body out. I yelled for my husband – he has long skinny fingers which help in situations like this. I held Rosie’s hips open and he gently guided/helped pull with every push – but after 15 mins of pushing when he was born, he was ghostly white – oxygen deprivation was not on our side. We tried every trick to revive him – rubbing, Dex, needle poke on his nose – to no avail. He had been in the canal too long and we lost him. He was 13.8oz – huge puppy – much too big for a little 13 inch beagle girl. We grieved the loss of him but also celebrated the healthy pups we got.
Mom and babies settled in to nursing right away – all are healthy and strong. We are so thankful.
With every litter I try and take some nicer photos with my camera so I can document how my lines grow and develop. I try to take weekly photos of them as they grow. These are their newborn photos.
I decided to go with a Fantastic Four theme – and go with four “F” names.
Boy 1: Felix
Boy 2: Finn
Boy 3: Fernando
Girl: Fleur

Echo’s little beagle pups are thriving. Her milk came in right away and they are already 1/2 a pound bigger than at birth. We love to see this kind of progress. We still havent named them – soon 🙂
