Barks and Recreation: Meet The Puppies

Published by

on

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…

    So adorable and I can’t say enough good things about you caring enough to rescue mom and, ultimately, her puppies! So wonderful! I love Parks and Rec so great choice on the names, too. 🙂

      Parks and Rec is great, and the names fit the personalities of the puppies so well. Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate it.

        I would love to have a dog. My wife has early on-set Alzheimer’s Disease. I think a dog would be ideal. I have been trying to win her over to get one. We may be almost there.
