All the family is doing well.

Here is the whole family. Yep, I count nine! The reds are like bookends.

Maybe Puppies Tonight!

Lesley emailed me that Abba seems to be nesting and refused her meal tonight. Of all our beagles, Abba is the biggest chow-hound. So for her to refuse food means something is up. Stay tuned.

Abba's still Growing 03.28.09

Here's Abba yesterday (03.28.09). Lesley says she now measures 31 inches. May need to change my guess on how many puppies.


Below is a pix from Mar 24 when she was 29 inches.

Introduction the new CHAMPION

Abba's belly continues to Grow (one week to go)

These pixs are from Friday, Mar 20. This last week, Abba grew 2 in (total of 28 in) around her belly. Abba is with Lesley now who will whelp the puppies. When the puppies are about a week or so old, they will come live with us.

Bob becomes a CHAMPION

Abba (2 plus weeks to go)

She now weighs 31.5 lbs and 26 in around her belly. Yep, that's her belly touching the floor when she sits. How big will she go?

Bob enjoys the sunshine

 

Hey, Hey, Hey It's FAT ABBA

We affectionately are now calling her FAT ABBA. She weighs 30lbs and is 24 1/4 inches around her belly. Wonder how many puppies are in there? And yes, it is March even though you'd think it was December with all that snow on the ground.
