Three different Beagle barks

Three different Beagle barks - how to I speak?

I guess I will start with the fact that most Beagles will not be silent dogs. We enjoy saying out what we think and we can do it in three different ways. Usually I make a standard bark at daily things:

when I want attention,

when they leave me home alone,

when I am distressed,

when somebody comes to visit,

when I can't get my toys,

when I protect my home,

when getting a new treat,

when old ladies walk towards me,

when I see plastic or garbage bags.

Second, I am howling if I am sad or bored. Third, I make a throaty yowl to alert others I found a target or its smell. In general, there is always a reason for me to make sound. I bark when I am happy, excited, angry and scared.

What is funny fact is that at the puppy school my teacher said it is not normal if a dog tells the owner when is the correct time to go to pee. The more I looked around I saw it is common for us Beagles to notify our people of our issues. I have my ritual:

I sit correctly on one spot and yawn constantly.
If this does not work I start to whine or bark.

How puppies are made?

I haven't written anything almost a year now but my life has changed a lot and I just have to let the world know. I am a mum now. I have 4 pretty puppies. 2 boys and 2 girls. As my humans call them: Välk; Täiskrae; Poolkrae and Stringi. Names come from the signs they have on their necks. Anyway lets start from the beginning. Me & Benji, our mating took place between 4th and 6th March 2017 but the first test run we did already on the 2nd March - didn't work at the first time though. Our babies saw the daylight on the 60th day of my pregnancy, 5th of May, which was also my human's birthday, but the counting of days may not be accurate because the actual mating and gestation can differ up to seven days. During heat time first week is the week when nobody can come near me. I am relatively defensive at every possible dog in the whole world. Mating, however, is perfect, starting from the ninth day, then female dogs turn their tales aside and are ready for mat...

Details about my labor

My labor lasted 36h in total. I know they say it is between 4-24h but I wanted to be legendary! 4th of May I started panting and I constantly moved a round the house because I felt uncomfortable. My human slept with me in the living room because she thought it will happen at night time. Guess what?! I did not think so. 5th of May morning I wanted to make a nest in the basement because there is a lovely part with sand that I enjoy so I felt like this could be a perfect fit for me. My human did not think so, I still wonder why?! Well okay, I understand they handmade me my maturity station and it would have been nice to deliver puppies there. So in the end I did it only for them you know. Another thing people say is that during labor there should be something easy to clean under the dog but seriously I am a lady and I am not going to sit on some plastic bag or something else. I needed my comfy blanket there with me. Luckily my human often understands me. During the morning time I e...
