The Force Awakens! Photos of Lily’s litter

1 Comment

As you know by now, Lily’s pups are two days younger than Maxi’s. They are larger on average but only because they had more room in Lily’s womb. Things will even out eventually.

Pups also got pedicures and lots of kisses. Puppy breath is the best. The boys are still wearing their collars so I can tell them apart!

Photos aren’t the greatest, I know. But just wait until the pups are a little bigger.

Puppy #1 is Han. He’s been wearing the purple collar and weighs 1#, 3.5 oz.
Puppy girl #2, Rey weighs 1#, .5 oz. and is actually a little on the beige side.
Puppy #3 is Poe. He has been wearing the green collar and weighs 1#, 2.3 oz.
Puppy #4, Leia now weighs 1#, 1.4 oz. She is the paler of the two girls
Last but certainly not least is Puppy #5, wearing the blue collar and named Luke. Luke weighs 1#, 3 oz.

And Now Maxi’s Pups Have Names!

Introducing our Blues Legends Litter  (Potter and Maxi’s Pups) with names, weights and new photos.

All are doing quite well. I spent time with each puppy handling their paws and ears and rubbing their bellies. They also had their first nail trim. Lots of stretching and yawning going on and they are moving around like a herd of little guinea pigs!

This is when the fun begins.

We had a terrific storm here in southwest Florida last night but they never seemed to notice.

Do Havanese Like Children? A Video

Leave a Comment

You betcha!!!

It is alsmost as if a child is another puppy, these Havanese are so smitten. And gentle.

Now, as young puppies…under one year…like all puppies, Havanese are exuberant. And in this state, their sharp little teeth might find the wrong “toy.” For that reason always, always supervise your puppy/toddler play. Once a puppy reaches a year, it will be different…for the puppy that is. Still, toddlers can also display inappropriate play (pulling an ear or a tail or a fistful of fur) and must be supervised until 5 years old or so.

And…A Video of Lily’s Pups at 2 weeks old!

Such beautiful puppies! Can’t wait to get them out and about. At Two weeks old these puppies are just beginning to explore their world beyond their mother. They are aware of other puppies in the whelping box. They make wonderful little sounds. Since they are still in my bedroom, these are sounds I go to sleep with each night. It is heavenly!

Will work in individual photos in a few days.

This is when the fun begins! Puppies are 2 weeks old now, making sometimes sweet coos, sometimes puppy challenge growls and wobbling around on their little legs. Noses are black now as are some of the pads on their feet. Soon their eyes will open and a few days after that the fog will clear and they will be able to see their siblings and their Mama…and me!…for the first time.

I took this video of Maxi’s litter yesterday.

Hoping to catch a video of Lily’s pups later today. Stay tuned!
