Welcome to the family, Beka

Please join me, ivy, lucas and chuck, on welcoming the newest member of our pack, Beka.

Beka is the first pick from the litter of Olympic Gold's Easy Winnin' (sire) and Ella of St. Andrews (dam).  She was born on November 13, 2008.  She's a tricolour coated beagle, quite different from Chuck who has a Brown/Tan/White coat.

The welcome party included me and Chuck Bass.  Lucas had to sit this one out as he was too excited to meet Beka and she was still not comfortable with the territory.  I'll do it the day after when Beka's more confident and Lucas is more relaxed.

Beagles are known to smell their new territory -- er okay, i guess that's what Chuck is up to.

Brown and Black Beagles. It sure is a sight to see those white tipped tails pointing straight up as they go prancing along.

Ofcourse most of welcoming party that night was spent playing Tag.

Here's Beka sizing up Chuck.  She's a pretty active pup, a lot more active than Chuck when we got him at 6 months old.  Chuck was pretty excited having a playmate not 3x larger than him.

Beka is a pretty little girl, isn't she?

After a long while, here they are comfortably sniffing each other out.

They sure make a good pair! But Chuck has a long wait ahead of him, she's just 5 months old after all. 

For 3 days or more, Beka will be spending the whole day and night outside the house with Chuck to accompany her.  That will give her enough time to establish a poo/pee place in the yard and once she does, she can then stay and sleep inside the house with Chuck.
