This was an unplanned pregnancy. My husband and I are in our seventies and already have 2 rescued cats and a rescue dog--Australian Shepherd Golden Retriever mix, who is 13. The mama is just beautiful and probably only about 2 years old. We found a nice couple at church with children and a boxer pup who took her. Every Sunday we get an update on Millie. They got her a crate, took her to the vet, and we had her spayed since, as Medicare patients, we had it done for $40. They say she must have been a house dog since she's housebroken and loves being inside. Although I would never have imagined having a pup at our age, we have gotten so attached and I've become a big Beagle fan.
How Maggie came to our house
I posted a question about Beagles' changing color. Thanks for the pictures showing the changing color on tricolors. I want to tell you how this little puppy came to our house and why I asked the question. Between Christmas and January 1, a pregnant Beagle showed up. She sure looked like a purebred and we couldn't figure out where she came from. We thought she might have been out hunting and gotten lost. We wondered what kind of swain she might have encountered along the way and what the pups would look like. She had three puppies that we saw at about 2 weeks. Only one survived. She was freezing and cold and we brought her in the house at 8 weeks. They were all black and white with tan above the eyes. The longer we have her, the more we think she's a purebred. What do you think?

I was worried about staying within the guidelines of size. I did post a larger photo in the large photo forum but it was mainly to show the color changing on her head.
