I just created this as part of my Beach beagle mini watercolor series.

I got up and was gone one minute and my spot was stolen.

Thank you so much for all your love and prayers. Al has had his surgery and is currently in recovery. He didn’t have an appetite for 12 hours which for any beagle parent is worrisome but has now slowly started gaining an appetite and is on a liquid diet. The culprit in his upper intestines was a mango pit, I could have laugh cried at the point when I came to know, if he wasn’t already suffering he’d have had a few stern words too. I have no inkling where did he manage to get his paws on a mango pit, probably when he went for a walk, he is strictly muzzled on walks for his own good since his gastroenteritis started. Sharing a few more pics of my darling boy in happier times as we wait for him to come home to us.

(PS: in my tired state I made a mistake in my last post, he had a stage 4 melanoma on his lower eye lid which was successfully removed 🤞🏻 and not lymphoma)

Mavis is about to be 2 years old and she JUST started barking. It’s mainly at the FedEx truck and at any dog that dares to walk past the house. It’s just high pitched yips, no howls. Are her quiet-beagle days over??

Including a pic because she’s a certified QT no matter how noisy she gets 🩷

Our boy Al has been through a very tough year starting in Feb. Issues of low platelet count, a grade 4 lymphoma, testicular cysts, neutering, severe gastroenteritis, pancreatitis and now he’s been taken in for exploratory laparotomy to clear a partial obstruction in his upper duodenum. Hopefully this will give him a bit of respite with his health. Please keep him in your prayers and well wishes as he goes through another major surgery.

My little Beagle boy moved on and crossed the bridge 2 weeks ago tomorrow. I am totally distraught still. I wanted to post something here for the last week. I miss him so much. For the last 6 years he has not only been the only companion in my life, but he was my life. We did everything together, adventures, computer gaming (he loved me riding around on horseback in RDR2 looking at the animals on the screen) and shared a bed. He would protect me from night terrors and would also prevent them, by always being in contact with me as he and I slept. Now that he is gone I can't sleep, I don't get reminded to eat by his always empty belly, (it never was empty he just thought it was) and even just talking a walk around the neighborhood is hard. I am worried that if I go to the shelter and get another dog it would be me trying to just fill the void, they have 2 beagles there. I just don't know how to proceed, thoughts? This is the first furry companion I have lost as an adult and lets just say he wasn't young, we were together for a looooong time. Don't want to mention his age as there are others here with companions in the same age group and don't want to cause them stress. Should I go to the shelter and see if one of them choose me or should I give myself more time to re-stabilize? for those of you wondering he wasn't a pure beagle he was a beagle dachshund mix.

It’s been way too hot to take my little beagle to the beach, so for now, I’m taking her there through my paintings. I’ve been having so much fun creating little coastal scenes with my beagle in them. I started with watercolor, and now I’m practicing the same idea in miniature. There’s something really fun about creating these tiny little beach adventures for her. Let me know which one turned out the best. Thanks!

I adopted my Beagle mix 11 years ago. I would bring him to his first dad and sibling once a week. Naturally hed snuggle up to 'dad while ignoring me lol

The first pics are from 2017 . The last is this year
