That would be funny!!!!!!! Imagine all the cat fights and bitch...ing!!!! Sorry couldn't help it. But I gotta say it's been great for kids, a real learning experience. The last time we had puppies born Lachie was a baby. He's gotten the most out of it!

They are keeping me busy! I made a slight booboo....We have 3 girls and 2 boys!!!! Anyway.....I'd have a hard time sneaking one thru customs!!!!!!! Our customs is really stricted both incomming and out going. Smugglers try to send our wildlife thru in terrible conditions. The animals suffer cruelly. I have to say I'd like to treat them the way they treat our wildlife!!!!!!

I'm trying to get pikkies on, but I lost the cord for the camera to plug it in the laptop!!!! Beagles are escape artists.......Teal'c jumps over fences, he jumps 1.5 metres high and he uses the kids outdoor play equipment to get out of the back yard!!!! Which has happened twice!!!! They are the perfect child friendly dog particularly if you train them properly. I highly recommend them for families.

Cheers Raven

Customs?  Last time I looked, you were living on the same island as me, unless there are 2 Australia's (nothing would surprise me!) and I'm on the alternate universe Australia (again, nothing would surprise me). LOL. 

It is sad how much of our wildlife is being smuggled from here to there and everywhere.  I wonder if they'd like our girls?  Probably not - too much of a handful to send air mail lol.

Fence jumping and digging are the 2 biggest turn offs when it comes to beagles.  My aunty had one, and she deliberately over fed him to keep him from escaping.  He was the biggest sook, especially when it came to the rain.

Boy am I embarrassed!!!!! For some stupid reason I thought you were from the states!!!!! It def not you it's me!!!!!! Man what ever I've been smoking lately , I betta stop!!!!! I'm just humilating self lately!!!

They can be sooks.....Teal'c hates loud noises, fire works and thunder really set him off!!!! Vala (our bitch) attacks him when he starts up!!!!! It funny, she barks and nips him till he stops!!!!!

Everyone loves my kids and I quote "they're so well behaved" after a week they'd all send them back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My girls won't stop fighting atm! It's insane!!!

I watched a program a few months back, it's amazing how many of our native lizards and birds end up in the US specially Florida. Like go see them in the zoo, where they can be cared for properly. I hate it!!!!

Do live in SA? Thats where I am!

Cheers Raven

Don't be embarrassed, it is an easy mistake to make when you have kids, new puppies and are using a site that is global.  You never know, I might get to the states one day...Forida sounds appealing, especially the everglades.  Maybe you haven't been smoking enough? lmao!  wish I could just quit, but not easy.

Good mum for teaching Teal'c that there is nothing wrong with a good storm! 

Must be something in the water making all the kids fight.  Ours are fighting us more at the moment.  Isn't sisterly love so grand?

Border Security has had some pretty sad animal smuggling stories.  Thankfully, most of the animals involved made full recoveries.  Why would anyone want to take animals from their natural enviornment?  Its beyond me, I enjoy the frogs, lizards and exotic birds that come to us to visit.

I'm a QLD'er these days, though a few years back, was much closer to SA- well the ACT is a little closer! LOL.

Hubby wants go Barra fishing up your way!!!!!! But he's worried about the croc's. Apparently there was a croc attack in the daintree by one called fat albert!!!!!

I just quit the cigs again but i am tempted to take it up again.......great christain hey!!!!!! I do the things I don't wanna and can't do the things I wanna!!!!!! As for the kids, I think it's the lack of water at our end that doing it! Our water taste foul atm. As I live on the river we get our water from it. It tastes all chloriney and gross. After taking a shower some days you feel like you stepped out of a pool! Nas-ty!!!!

I'd go to Florida with you......maybe we could meet up with Alex15....she lives that way, she could play aussie tourist hostess to us. Wouldn't that be laugh! stop in at Disney world too! Ah, if only i could win the lottery..........funny thing, you got be in it to win it!!!!!

Sometimes Border Security makes me so sad, specially with animals, it also makes me laugh.........I mean really.......did they really think they could get past our guy's?????? I  love the food.......You can't have this. it is illegal to bring this in the country! No no, it's good, you say we can!!!!! And the paper work!!!!! That cracks me up every time!!!!!!!

Cheers Raven

Mum and baby's are doing well, we thought she was gonna have more but it seems she's done, which is a suprise but you never know until happens.

Cheers Raven

This is the 2nd litter we have had, but it's Vala's first. Our other bitch a spaniel tried to nip one of our kids, so she went to a new home with teens. She fit's in better with them and is so much happier! We were pretty upset but when you have young kids, you have to do whats in their best interest.

Thanks!

You know it takes 63 days to grow a puppy and 280 days to grow a human? How cool is that!

Just a little trivia while I await the next arrivals!

Raven

thanks, from Teal'c and Vala! The older pups are now starting to latch and feed. No signs of anymore pups yet but it will probably take all day anyway!

Vala dug herself 2 holes in the backyard about metre deep, which we had to retrieve her out of!!!!! She inside, where it's cool!

Cheers Raven

She's had 5 now and there are still more to come. I'm waiting for them to drop into position.

Once their all born, I'll take some pics and post them. I don't want to disturb her too much with the flash. But they are cute and so tiny. They fit into one of my hands!

Currently she's having rest. The vets said that she may have a bunch and then not have any for awhile before having more! I reckon she'll have a dozen. She's huge even after delivering 5!

Dads watching from the sliding door, he looks proud but worried! This is his 2nd litter.

I'll keep you posted as theres not much else I can do while she's delivering, well maybe the dishwasher!

Cheers Raven

She's just had 2 more, the 2nd a boy weighs @ 300g and has dad's head. The 3rd one is a little girl and weighs around 190gs! It's wonderful!

 It is wonderful, new life! First pick this the little girl, hehe!

Have a great day with all the little puppies.

Regards Janice 

Thanks!
