Introducing Ruth Tricolor small standard mommmy

shiny girl!

"Cute puppies! So, I'm going to have my own one day? cool..!"

" My name is Nicole Rouse, and I meet you and your daughter when Mom (Yolanda Rouse) and I came to pick up Ruth back in February.  I loved seeing where Ruth was born and meeting you two!  Ruth and Sally mean so much to our family and I love them both very much!  They are each packed full of personality, and two of the most loving dogs I have ever known.

  Since I moved away from home, about eight years ago, I have really missed having a companion.  I have waited so long, because I have been in school and I knew that I was not able to provide for a dog at that time.  I also wanted to wait, because I was not sure of what breed would best suit me.  When the beagles came into our lives, I knew for the first time that this was it!  I fell in love with Sally and Ruth!  I love how Sally likes to snuggle up with people, especially Mom!  She looooves her Moma! :)  I just love how Ruth looks at me with her pretty little eyes, and how loving and playful she is!  I went home the other day, and it was the first day since last year that it was sunny and 75 degrees.  That morning Ruth, Sally, and myself sat on the front porching swing and just sat there in the sun the entire morning.  It was great, and it felt so good to have those two next to me!  I also love how gentle they are.  They are the perfect companion.

I am emailing you, because I would love to have one of Ruth's babies. " ...

Krista and her mom look at the book that Bette Jean had made starring her sunshine acres beagle "Pepper"! Bette Jean had just come out to pick up Finley's brother "Virgil" (aka D-Bo) for her son and daughter in law Bill & Corynn who are foreign diplomats and were in route from Africa to their home in Vero Beach, where Bette Jean was headed to see them!

" Hey!
I just wanted to let you know how wonderful we're doing. He slept on my lap the whole way home and even though we stopped twice in between naps, he held it until we got back. He went hurry up as soon as we got home and  he's gone outside every time. Even the paper was clean this morning! I've been taking him out at the times you suggested and he seems to let me know if he needs to go.

He only whined for about 5 to 10 minutes last night before he fell asleep and he cried 2 or 3 times during the night, but always fell back asleep.

He is wonderful and every time we go outside we get compliments!

Thanks so much! "

She is claimed by Yolanda Rouse!

She has been claimed by Nicole Rouse & Daniel!! (Yolanda's daughter!)

 She is going to allow us to breed Babe in the future just like her mom did with Ruth!

 ..." I have also discussed getting a puppy with Mom and Dad, so that I could have their input, because it always means a lot to me what they think.  Mom and Dad are all for it, plus they would love to be able to have yet another special beagle in their lives.  Mom even said to me, "Grandma is all for babysitting if needed!!"  I have also discussed this with my boyfriend, Daniel.  He and I have been together for almost a year now, and I honestly believe that he is the one!  He is a wonderful man, and he has been so supportive of me throughout nursing school.  He has a yellow lab mix named Bowser.  Bowser is a year and 5 months old, and he is a sweetheart!  He goes everywhere that Daniel goes, and he is very well trained.  He gets along with every dog he meets, and he looooves Ruth!  When we go to Mom and Dad's, he and Ruth play for hours.  She even shares her toys with him.  They run around all day in the yard until they are too tired to play any longer.  

Now, I will tell you about myself and where I live.  I am 62 days away from graduating with my Associate Degree in Nursing (I am counting down the days).  I have worked very hard for this and I am finially at the end of the road.  I will graduate on May 12 and hope to take my NCLEX-RN state boards at the end of May or first week of June 2010.  I currently live on Wrightsville Beach with my younger sister Melissa.  We are moving to a town house in a community called Lion's Gate, which is right on the other side of the Wrightsville Beach bridge.  It is a three bedroom home with two bathrooms.  One of Melissa's best friends from high school is going to be living with us also.  There is a small backyard with a tall wooden privacy fence around it.  No other pets will be living in our home.  I do go over to Daniel's home frequently.  He owns his house, and has a large fenced in back yard.  Bowser lives inside, but loves to play outside too.  I plan to follow your tips on potty training, and I do want my puppy to learn to sleep in a crate at night.  I plan to kennel train and leash train my little baby.  There is a great veternarians office in Scotts Hill, about 20 minutes from my home in which I plan to use.  When I start my job at the hospital, I will work three 12 hour shifts a week.  On those days, Daniel has agreed to keep the puppy with him so that it will have human contact and not just sit in a crate for all that time.  He takes Bowser to work with him at his office everyday.  If Daniel is unable to take the puppy for some reason, Mom is again happy to help out!  

I am sorry that this is so long, but I really wanted you to be able to get a good feel about me, where I live, and what I am doing in life.  If you have any questions, or need me to clarify anything please let me know.  I know this is a lot of information at one time haha!  I am going to include my phone number, as well as Daniel's number.  This is if you have any questions or if you wanted to talk with us on the phone.  If you allow me to be a mommy to one of Ruth's babies, Daniel and Bowser will come with Mom and I.  I would really want for you to meet him and Bowser, because they are a large part of my life.  

Thank you for your time and I really hope to hear back from you soon!  God bless!

Nicole"

"Yay!!!!!!

I just checked the site and saw that you updated it!  Daniel and I were gushing over how cute she is last night!  We cruised the website for almost an hour last night...that website is very addicting! haha! "

He is claimed by the Stratton's from Algeria! They are the son and daughter in law of Bette Jean, who is the proud mommy of sunshine acres "Pepper" by Domino. Bill & Corynn are diplomats in the foreign service, moving every couple of years, and had plans to be in the states during May. D-Bo's homecoming timeframe works out perfectly ! He will have a big sister beagle "Casey" who will help show him the ropes in his new home!

"Dear Miss C and Family,

We were SOOO delighted to hear this news! We've been pouring over the website and see that Ruth came back to Sunshine Acres especially to breed. This is her first litter, right? Who is the Daddy? Can you send us pictures of him?

What's most amazing about this is that we had already chosen names for our future little boy or girl. No kidding, the name we chose weeks ago was “D-Bo”. Can you believe that?!?! So when we saw that you had named Ruth’s chocolate baby Bo, we thought to ourselves that it must be fate!!! We are so happily surprised and would be beside ourselves to adopt little Bo into our family! Its beyond coincidence. We are so thrilled to give Casey such an adorable little brother. "

Pepper meets Virgil!

Pretty  "Pepper"  by our "Domino" poses for her picture, then checks out the new toy

the Rouse's sent us to give out to each of Ruth's litter when they head to their new homes !

        we are so happy to see her and how gorgeous she has turned out not only looks but a gentle and calm temperament to go with the beauty.  She already has impressed a lot of folks Bette Jean says when they meet Pepper they have to comment on how good she is , compared to other beagles they have seen.  She told Miss C. she has surpassed all she could have hoped for in a Pet.  We loved hearing that !

 "Hey Miss Christina and Christi, It was soooo good seeing you on Wednesday. We turned little D-Bo over to Corynn and Bill and they are in love. After some thought, they have renamed him Virgil. He is such a good, but spunky little guy. What a perfect addition to our family. I'm sure you'll hear from Corynn soon. Thanks so much for creating such perfect little beagles. Love, Bette Jean, Richard and Pepper "
