Nova’s babies are 8 weeks and will start to head to their new homes next week. I can’t even believe how fast this time has gone and how much I love these precious little gifts. Thank you again to Nova’s dad Ken for partnering with me to allow me to show Nova, health test her and have a litter.
I am just making my final decisions on who stays here at Kazuri and who goes to their new home in the up coming days. Who are your favorites?
Enjoy the final pictures of the babies all together as they play in our yard as they were not interested in individual photos at all this week 🙂 I can’t blame them – the world is a wonderfully interesting place and it’s their job to discover it all.
Tori’s babies have their eyes open and are up on their feet – wobbly but making their way around the pen to find their mom wherever she may be. They are making little squeaks and growls – this is the fun stage where they sound like little chipmonks.
We will be starting solids in a few days – let the new sensations begin 🙂
The INBC is a relativly new beagle club – our first specialty shows were last year (2025) and so we tried to put on a show with excellence that exhibitors would want to come to. We were very proud of the ribbons and prizes offered – many were hand made by member Heidi McKeon from Tradewinds. Thankyou to her. Thank you to show chair Lorna Boydston, and to raffle hustler extraordinaire Dolly Stearns for having such amazing things for us to raffle off. Thank you to Ruthie for making a cohesive and beautiful website for us to enjoy. Thank you to exhibitors Pia, Robyn and Diana for driving from several states away to join us for the weekend – it was SO fun to have you all there.

What an absolutly incredible day – a little bit crazy with so many dogs to show but also so so wonderful. I will do another post about the rest of the weekend in another post.
Nova’s lovely 7 are growing well and getting up to lots of mischief. They are enjoying the nicer weather now that Seattle has brought out the sun. I am really enjoying watching the movement on these puppies – it seems very true – I am going to try and narrow down my selections for now – it’s so hard 😛 LOL.
Enjoy their photos from this week on my favorite blue chair.
Nova continues to be an amazing momma – the puppies are now her playmates as they are eating 3 meals a day. They LOVE food and the bowl is always licked clean. They don’t want to use their potty box yet, so we will just call that a work in progress. All I can say is lucky they are all so cute <3 haha
The weather was so warm in the 70s today and so I took the babies outside for a small outdoor play – they weren’t too sure about it, but I know each time they go out, their confidence will grow.
I love these tiny precious little pups. Lucky me for being the one to raise them.
Enjoy the photos of them from this week <3
Buddy – Big Red/White boy
Andy – Tri Boy
Stan – Small Red/White boy named after Eminem’s song “Stan”
Deliliah – Tri Girl 1
Roxanne – Tri girl 2
Gloria – Tri girl 3
Jolene – Red/White girl
Want your own beagle puppy? One of the Red and White boys is available.
I am thrilled to announce that this weekend, In Yakima, Miss Skylar finished her AKC championship with all majors!! Thank you to judges Mr Robert L Robinson and Ms. Tempest Deptuch for finding Sky this weekend despite her silly actions.
Skylar was bred by my friends Lisa Young and Jenni Neift and is co-owned by, and loved by myself.
Skylar isn’t even one yet, and so she will get to now play in the yard and sleep on the couch until she is old enough to do her health testing
It has been raining cats and dogs here in the PNW – so when we got a break in the rain, i decided to quickly get out and take some photos with some blossoms before it started up again. The puppies were less than enthusiastic about hanging out in a silly basket when there were things to explore, but I will post my favorites here anyway
What a week but I can confirm that DeeJay’s 3 girls are all healthy and strong and showing no signs of trouble following last week’s hard time with little Artemis. I am forever thankful for friends who prayed with me and for the Drs I saw so we could save her.
Since it is so cold, we did photos on my favorite blue chair – I know I dont need to tell you why I love it so much – I think the colors being so bright are evidence of that in itself.
Spring in Seattle has been wonderfully dry…but cold. The poor puppies are so keen to venture outside but even when it is “sunny” it is freezing out there, so we keep play sessions to 15-20 mins and then bring them in again. Sometimes I dont even take DeeJays pups out as they just start shivering. Poor little lovies.
It’s good for them to have a few moments outside to build muscle and body awareness – to gain confidence as they try new things like climbing stairs or standing on the swing, and push their limits. So, even in the cold a few mins to do this is a good thing.
Here are a few photos of them today with their adorable little jackets on – these are XS and still dont fully fit them – I love my adorable teeny babies <3
