LuLu Belle, Our Hound in the Header

Lulu is enjoying spring, and looking at the flowers. She is getting ideas for a bouquet to give her people-mommy for Mother's Day! Lulu shares her home with Tricia of Etsy shop kookyhandbags . There are lovely handmade bags, totes, and pillows in this shop, and, if your Mom likes vintage, visit Tricia's other shop, TalkOfTheTown . You can also check our Etsy shop links on the sidebar to find the perfect gift for Mother's Day!

April Hound in the Header!

Cody is sure happy to see Spring! He is enjoying being outside, and is perhaps hunting for Easter eggs. Cody is a Weimaraner who lives with his Springer Spaniel brother, Copper, and his Mom Annie of AnnieKDesigns. Annie is fantastic at sewing, and her shop has beautiful table linens for people. And, Cody has his own Etsy shop, Cody's Closet, with lots of great things for pets! Cody was nick-named the Etsy Beagles Team's "big black beagle," and we are happy to have our big doggie brother on our team!

Hopefully, the Beagles Team will soon have a new captain! Don't worry, me (MsAnomaly) and Flash will still be active on the team.

August Hound in the Header

I hope everyone has had a great summer thus far! As we approach the fall season, it's time to just relax and enjoy the end of summer; just like Roxie, our new hound in the header! Roxie is a sheltie who shares her life with Beagles team member Pawsalicious. Visit this shop for great pet items, including Roxie's favorite cookies! Our team has been pretty mellow during last month's HOT weather, but we are ready to start planning our fall team challenge/blog giveaway. Check our blog for details, and have a great August!

Happy Mother's Day!

Featured as our Hound in the Header for May is Lily! Lily shows just how Mom should be treated on her special day - lounging in a bed of lovely linens, waiting for breakfast to be served! Lily belongs to team member LilyLynnDesigns.

The Etsy Beagles Team would like to announce our next team challenge, coming soon! The theme is "Spring into Summer," and we will be hosting our blog giveaway from Wed., May 25th - Sat., May 28th. Check the Beagles blog during this time for details on how to enter the giveaway for your chance to win a great prize!

We'd also like to remind everyone to check our team's list of shops. Just click the picture of Flash, the smiling beagle, to visit the Yowl-o Pawges! It's a shops -by-category list of all our team members' Etsy shops. I'm sure the perfect gift for Mom is waiting for you!

Buster is our April Hound in the Header!

Meet Buster, all snuggled up in brightly-colored crocheted flowers. Pretty spring colors lift everyone's spirits, and so do the great items found in Buster's owner's shop, SensoryFelteds! Buster is napping so he can get ready to play outside, or maybe even take part in an Easter-Egg hunt! Beagles are great at that, with their awesome ability to sniff out food! Get ready beagles, spring is here! :)

Happy New Year! Jan. 2011 Hound in the Header

The Etsy Beagles Team would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year! Our hound in the header, celebrating the birth of 2011, is Daisy Mae. Daisy belongs to team member Daisy Mae Designs. The photo was actually taken at Daisy's birthday party, but Daisy looks ready to ring in the new year, too! Everyone is invited to check out our Etsy Beagles flickr group page to see more photos of our team's pups! The link is in the sidebar. The Beagles Team wants to thank all our followers, and we hope everyone has a healthy, happy, and prosperous 2011!

December Hound in the Header!

Dashing through the snow is our Etsy Beagles team's Turtle Bean! Turtle belongs to team member bluedogrose, a very talented artist and author! Turtle Bean is leaping for joy to extend happy holiday wishes to everyone, and he wants to remind our blog readers to post your vote in our upcoming (Wow - starts tomorrow, in fact!) Happy Howlidays Beagles team challenge/blog giveaway!

It's Back To School Time! Meet Franklin, Our Studious Hound in the Header

Where did Summer go? Whether sending kids off to school again, sending our furbabies to obedience school, or both, it's back to school time! Our Hound in the Header this month is Franklin. He is quite prepared to study hard and go to the head of the class! Hmm, could he actually be a professor rather than a pupil? He certainly looks wise in his glasses! Franklin shares his home (and no doubt his vast knowledge) with our Beagles Team member PoshRe-Creations. Posh's Etsy shop has lovely OOAK reclaimed/repurposed furniture and home decor. Wow! Posh and Franklin are both so clever; first lesson is to check out this great shop! Extra credit is given to those who click on all our shop links! It's the best way to see the talents of the members of the Etsy Beagles Team! ;D

Meet Daphne, Our New Hound in the Header!

We wish we all could be California Dogs! ;) Since summer is the right time for being at the beach, we had our two California Boys last month. For our July/August hound in the header, we had to have a California Girl, and beautiful Daphne was the perfect choice! Daphne belongs to team member Sean, who owns CamargoCreations. This Etsy shop features handmade dresses, vests, collars and accessories for dogs and the people who love them. CamargoCreations is taking part in Etsy's "Christmas in July" sale, so visit his shop to see more great items (and more pictures of Daphne and her siblings)! Sean also has a wonderful entry in our summer team challenge, and Wow, our next team challenge/blog giveaway starts this Wednesday, July 21st! I will post all the entries and the giveaway rules at that time, so come back and check out all the "Lazy Days of Summer" Beagles Team challenge items! Daphne will be happy to see you again! MsA

Meet Copper, June's Hound in the Header!

The adorable Springer Spaniel in our header is named Copper. He belongs to teammate AnnieK of AnnieKDesigns, AnnieKClothing, and CodysCloset. Cody is Copper's big brother, and he's shown in the photo in this post. Cody is part weimarainer and part black lab. We call him our team's "big black beagle!" Copper is all springer, and he looks so dapper in his lovely fleece dog coat made by his mom. I thought Copper (and Cody)were a great choice for June, because Father's Day is right around the corner, and hey, they're male dogs, and handsome ones and that!

Also right around the corner is our next team challenge! The theme is "Lazy Days of Summer" and the thread to post your challenge entry in will be in the Etsy Teams and Events Forum starting July 14th. Please check the Etsy Forums for our team's current chat thread. The details about the team challenge are there. Looking forward to many entries from our talented team! MsA

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!

The Etsy Beagles blog is wearin' the green for St. Patrick's Day! And the adorable beagle standin' in the green (grass, that is) is DuffyDesigns' darlin' Maisy! Maisy is ready for Spring, and so is the Beagles Team! We are gettin' ready for our next team challenge, which will start on March 17th! No blarney! ;) Check the blog for our next team challenge giveaway from March 24th- March 27th. We will have our April Hound in the Header featured then, too!
