Puppy Sitting

[Elf Mommy]

I haven't had time to do much artwork this weekend! I have been puppy-sitting since Thursday evening. Poe came yesterday, and I have Kirby, too...It's been a pet-full weekend. After puppy-sitting, I have determined that I don't want a puppy next time. LOL What a headache! She is gorgeous, but oh so noisy!

I took tons of photos...of course, but I pared it down to 20 to share. Here they are:

blurry one, but I couldn't resist sharing it...

slug sniffer!

Check out that TONGUE!

Looks like a real "huntin'" dog in this one

Farewell from Clover!

WOW! I LOOOOVE Beagles and have never seen one in her coloring. She is absolutely gorgeous.

I believe this is the breeder she purchased her from:

great pics! what a beautiful beagle (dont tell my choc labs i said that). im dog sitting too next week for a golden retreiver. she's grown up with chickens and bunnies and gets on very well with mine. what does poe think of the pup?h34r2

I'm not putting the puppy anywhere near Poe. Clover is teething and I don't want those sharp puppy teeth anywhere near him. If I'm correct, beagles are used as hunting dogs...not good for bunnies.

my bunnies were rather miffed when the vet recommended we freeze a carrot to help our youngest choc lab when she was teething. poor clover - my chocs sympathise to this day i can still see the teeth marks in the furniture...

I meet SO many people who tell me similar things when I tell them I'm puppysitting a beagle. LOL Some really bad experiences with this breed out there...

I'm not saying they aren't cute, she's beyond adorable...but many people have a hard time with this breed. Or...so I've been told!

If you read the breeder's website, she doesn't breed hunting dog lines. These Beagles aren't bred for their hunting instincts....which I definitely like that and would like to own a Beagle like that.

I had Beagles growing up, purchased them from hunter breeders. So, our Beagles were always nuts and always were using their noses.

I'd love to meet a "pet/show line" Beagle compared to a hunting line Beagle...I bet there is a major difference.

I'll own another Beagle one day...they are charming dogs!

Well, Clover is a sweet puppy, but she still has razor sharp puppy teeth.

Oh, I know...I was just saying for when she gets older, she shouldn't have such strong hunting instincts because of her breeding lines.

She's beautiful! I love her eyes.
I've worked with a lot of beagles as they're one of the main breeds we use for research dogs at the vet school and I volunteer to socialize them so that the ones that will be adopted out are used to being with people. They're great dogs.

 

[Elf Mommy]

Well, it's good to hear stories on the other side of the coin.
