Barks and Recreation: Meet The Puppies

Last month I found a pregnant and homeless beagle while walking my two dogs around our farm, so I decided to bring her in. Two weeks ago she delivered eight healthy and absolutely adorable puppies. Below you will find photos and information for each puppy. Each puppy has been assigned a temporary “newborn name”; I named them after characters from Parks and Recreation, the TV show. Hopefully I will be able to find suitable and happy homes for them when the time comes.

Meet the Mother

Momma dog is doing great, and she is loving motherhood. She is sweet, kind, well-behaved, and has every quality someone would want in a dog… Originally, I had planned to foster her while she cared for her puppies, then find a suitable home for her when the time came. But, honestly, we’ve grown very close, and I might have trouble parting with her…
