Puppy Pictures!





Mom finally got the puppy pictures off the camera. They were there after all. We took more pictures today, and the camera wouldn't download them to the computer. Started looking into it, and lo and behold, there was one rotten picture in the batch that was making the others get stuck and not download! The bad one was just after the one where Peaches was standing on her hind legs to get a treat. I think she broke the camera. Hah!

The babies are eating food out of their tray that Auntie Jan brought them last weekend. At first, Mom and Dad were feeding them off paper plates because they couldn't reach over the side of the dish. But now they can. They're really growing and getting stronger.... And louder I might add. Sometimes we hear them whimpering from inside the house. Wow.

Speaking of the house, we spent most of yesterday locked in it because Mom and Dad and Grandpa were painting the outside. Grandpa brought some kind of thing that sprayed the paint onto the house. They were afraid we'd walk in front of it and end up matching the house. Who, us???

Enjoy the puppy pictures. Have a fab week!
Love, Eddie.

Arial views of Beagles






Mom and Dad painted on the house this evening. It was great! Mom had kibble in her hand, and was throwing us a piece every few minutes. Yum, yum. She got these great arial shots of us from way up on the ladder. HAH!

Look at the stripe of paint down Peaches back! She looks like skunk. Hah hah hah.

Mom took a zillion and a half pictures of the babies tonight, too cuz they're starting to wrastle with each other and climb over stuff. They're really cute. Mom sez her bad reeze died though, and the camera didn't save any of them. Mom was a little peeved at that. I just want to know if bad reeze are anything like a bad beagles?j

We will try puppy pictures again tomorrow. They're all sleeping now.

Play hard, then rest.
Love, Eddie

Ba-a-a-a-ad Beagles. Oh My!



Peaches and Bella got caught red pawed. Mom and Dad were outside scraping down window frames (getting ready to paint the house) and Bella and Peaches went in through the doggie door. Daddy was scraping around the front window and saw Peaches in the living room with her nose down inside one of Lady's empty food cans. Uh oh.

Dad went in and gave them what for. He shamed them with "Baaaaaad Do-o-o-g"s till they hung their heads.

I think they'll be getting lumps of coal in their stockings this Christmas.

Happy-Sad Day


I got my haircut finished today. I was a little put out afterwards. I felt nekid. Momma put a bright bandana on me and I got to go for a car ride. Then I felt much better. Here is a picture of me in my bandana with my new haircut.

A family came over today and played with the puppies. Then they picked one out that they said they were going to take it home with them! Oh no! Mom wouldn't let that happen would she? Happily, she told them that the babies need to stay with Bella at least another month. Sadly, that means that one of them will be going away from us one day.

The family seemed very happy. The little boy hugged the baby a lot and gave her kisses. They kissed Bella, too, and told her thank you for the sweet puppy. The family picked out a girl, puppy #3 and named her Casey. They were already talking about all the things they would need to do to get ready for her when she does come to their house. I think they will take good care of her but as her uncle, I do worry.

Mom and Dad talked this evening about still needing to find nice homes for the other two. Does that mean all the babies are going to be going away? I sure will miss them a lot.

Bella & Babies Have Guests

Hah! Mom took a picture of Lady and Bella peeking out from the privacy fence when she got home today. Aren't they funny!

Bella's foster-Mom came to see her and the babies this morning. When Bella's former family dumped her, it was at this ladies house. She fed her and took care of her, tried to find her family, but ended up letting her go because she could not keep her. That's where we came in. We adopted her from the shelter where foster-Mom had taken Bella.

Foster-Mom was glad to see the babies, and that Bella is doing well. She brought her a present - some packets of her favorite food, and a puppy-feeding tray that has a hump in the middle. She says it keeps all the food to the outside edge and helps to keep the puppies from ending up walking through their food. How nice of her to think of Bella and the babies so kindly.

Foster-Mom even brought her own kids, a trio of beautiful Golden Retrievers. I think Bella remembered them. She definately remembered Foster-Mom and gave her lots of kisses.

Foster-Mom agrees with my Mom and Dad that the babies might very possibly be half labrador. She says their heads look like golden retriever heads when they're puppies. Hmm. Does that make them "Labradeagles" or "Beagrador Retriever Hounds"?

The new clippers came today. Mom has already started clipping me. She did part of it tonight (knocking off the big stuff). She says we'll finish tomorrow and have a bath after. The new clippers sure do work a lot better. They buzzed right through my thick cottony white hair. Ahhhhh. I actually feel better getting that carpet of hair off my back.

Enjoy the pictures. See ya'll later.

Big evening



We had a big evening here. Mom came home with some fence wire and posts and made a temporary pen in the back yard for the babies. Its under 2 big shade trees so they can play in the shade. Mom and Dad moved the babies tub out in it for now to see how Bella would do with them out there. She was fine. She's so laid back. "Whatever," she says.

Check out the Bubble picture reel for new pics of the babies. The girls' eyes are starting to open. You can see shininess through the little slits that have opened. The little boy is still keeping his eyes shut tight.

Here's a picture of me checking out the babies new play pen. I have to make sure its okay for them, you know. As an uncle I have a big responsibility!

Now the good news/bad news part of my post. You probably all noticed that my hair is getting pretty long. Mom always gives me my haircuts. Good news, her clippers died. Bad news, she ordered new ones. They're supposed to be here by next Wednesday. So, I get to run around furry for a few more days! Yippee!

Be nice to yourselves and everyone you meet.

The Big Run


Me, (Eddie) Peaches, Lady and Bella all went for a running spree around the yard tonight.

Mom was outside doing some work on the house (they are getting ready to paint it) and she shut us all out in the back yard.

Something set Peaches off running, I joined in, then Lady did which was a big shock, because she's 16 years old and doesn't do ANYthing anymore. Next thing we know, Bella is running with us. It was great fun. We had 3 or 4 really fast laps around the yard. Then we got a slobbery drink and crashed on the deck with our tongues hanging out. Ahhhh. What an evening!
