Some Books I Like…

Leave a Comment

I have had several families appreciate input on what books to read before your new family member arrives.

Here are some I like:

The Havanese was written by a veterinarian who used to breed and show Havanese dogs

 

How to Speak Dog is a fun but informative book about communicating with your canine family member. Modern Dog Parenting has a wonderful approach to training your new puppy.

Dr. Pitcairn has included dozens of recipes for hand made dog food should you be so inclined. But this is a great reference book for many health issues that can come up. And, he has a holistic approach which I like.

Joyous Havanese was written by Kitty Braund and is very helpful. I got my first Havanese, Phoebe, from Kitty. It was her last litter as she was approaching 90 years young. Phoebe is my heart dog…just turned 10!

Puppies One Week Old

Fern’s puppies are one week old and have nearly doubled their birth weights!

And I have given them names on a Motown Theme.

The boy is Marvin for Marvin Gaye.

The girls are named after the Supremes:

Diana Ross

Mary Wilson

and Florence Ballard.

We are a very musical family and this is my second litter that has had a musical theme. Two years ago we had the Blues litter.

So here are some recent photos of the pups with their new names!

I’ll get some better photos in a few days!

This is Diana.

This is Florence.
