Surprise, Cathy! It's a Baby Shower for You!

Dear Cathy, on behalf of the Etsy Beagles Team, this lovely collection of gifts will soon be on its way to you! We hope you enjoy the handmade gifts. Our team members jointly purchased (from Etsy, of course) the blanket and bib, and the other gifts were handmade with love by some of your Beagles Team sisters. We send our joy and best wishes along with these gifts to you and baby Cora Ann! With All Our Love,
The Etsy Beagles Team's "Doggie Dozen" lol!
Amanda, AnnieK, Christie, Duffy, Janice, Kerrie, Kristy, Linda, Lorraine, Shari, Sue, and Tricia

All our furbabies send their love, too and say Paws Up! They'd also like to ask Francisco and Buckley to please not keep the baby slippers for themselves! ;0)
We couldn't find a blanket with hounds on it, but a Scottie Dog won best of Show at Westminster this year, and we thought the Scottie receiving blanket was appropriate!
Please check back here for greetings your team members will be leaving for you!

New Hounds in the Header!

Who are those two adorable hounds in the header? They are a basset named Francisco and his beagle brother Buckley! Francisco and Buckley belong to team member Fatbasset. Fatbasset is expecting her first child on April 22nd, so Francisco and Buckley have been given our blog's place of honor to welcome their new baby sister as well as spring! They are too (two?) cute!

MsAnomaly note: Be sure to check this blog on Wednesday, March 24th - Saturday, March 27th for our "Dog Tired of Winter" team challenge blog giveaway! Thank-Arrrooooo!
