Sally & Leia (... and Andrew & Erin!)

WOW!! What gorgeous puppies -- what great pictures -- ups the "aww" factor to the highest level.

We welcome you and just can't wait to see and hear more of these two baby girls :heart:

Monica and Daisy /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

P.S. Daisy, at seven and a half, does tear regularly. Wet warm washcloth very gently helps.
I think some dogs tear more readily than others.

But I'd check with vet, just in case. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

Welcome Andrew, Erin and pups!! :wave: What beautiful babies--I can certainly understand how you couldn't choose between them!!
I see you're doing your homework as far as what to be prepared for getting chewed up. I would add one thing: eyeglasses!! My Shiloh loved to chew on the frames! (She also had a passion for my daughter's Victoria's Secret bras, but we won't go there! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/shocked.gif )

here is my Maggie-at about the same age-hoping the picture isnt too big though!


she does tear from time to time-her parents teared up a lot more-but once in a while she gets eye boogers. (heheh)

I think she has a bit of a lazy eye looking in these pics and when she was very young as well-so I wouldnt worry too much-their eyes have not caught up with the rest of them yet! They are growing SO much right now-those first 6 wks, it is AMAZING. When I think about when she was born and her ears werent open and her eyes didnt open for the first 2 weeks or so-and now to see her-well, you can see why she is my baby and I am in love too.

ANy other ?'s I might be able to help-I had my older beags since they were 6 wks-then they had the one pup-and we found a new home for the momma-she was too much of a runner. Now I got Dad-Harley-fixed and got him and the 6 month old baby Maggie. Havent fixed her yet-but I love them both. Mine are "snoopy" beagles-black and white. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

Don't worry, there are a couple other idiots around here /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif Bagel is a popular name for beags /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

(Just kidding Bob!)

pfr, did you find that your two girls bonded very well seeming they were from the same litter?

Andrew and I are away 8 hours a day at work and we thought that by getting two, they will hopefully entertain each other through the day while we are out. We were also hoping that by getting two girls, they will create a great bond and be inseperable all their happy little lives.

We went out today and bought heaps of teething toys for them (hoping they will find these more enticing than the cords/clothes/shoes on the floor. We can hope!

We also got our yard "beagle" safe today, closing off a little paved and grassed area for them that they can't escape from.

The breeders aren't available this weekend for us to visit our girls, so we'll just have to wait until next Friday to see them. However, they did send us an update photo. I think it's a good thing we didn't go see them, we'd want to bring them home then and there!

Only 5 days to go now! I can't wait!! *screams like a kid in a candy store*

.... I won't be saying this next week will I? :S

(... the finacee "Erin")

G'Day!

Welcome to you both!

I understand how you're feeling right now. When I was "expecting" my Henry last year, the wait seemed almost painful.

In answer to your question...

Henry's eyes seem to be tear streaked constantly. All of the time. Since there is no nasal discharge and no thick green or yellow gunk, I'm told not to worry, it's a beagle thing.

Funny how you comment on the "lazy eye".

Many years ago, I found a little beagle puppy sitting on the side of a busy highway. I remember thinking that one of her eyes seemed lazy, too. (I found her a home but can't believe I gave her up...I already had three dogs and couldn't imagine a fourth at the time. Wow...now that I'm thinking about her, I think I'll give myself a swift kick for giving her up).

Anyway, fast-forward to my Henry, who came to me as an adult and I even notice in him that one of his eyes just doesn't quite match the other at times. It's very subtle but it is the same thing as with the puppy that I found.

Maybe it's a beagle thing. Ask the breeder.

Thanks for the puppy pictures. Since all of my dogs over the years were adult rescues, I must get my puppy fix vicariously through others.

I see a lot of reference to "rescue" dogs... A quick google showed they are strays/abandoned dogs that are...err...rescued /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

Is that right? We looked long and hard to find any beagles, and no pet shelter anywhere in SE QLD ever had any. I take it there are a lot more beagles in the US / UK. The breeder had people from ~12 hours away coming to look...

Since I've got a week off, anyone know if its possible to train puppies to use a dog door, and do their business outside in the garden, and not dig up the lawn in 7 days? /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif
