Havanese Puppies at 2 1/2 Weeks Old

Our little Havanese are 2 1/2 weeks old now. Eyes are open and they are becoming quite vocal in a darling puppy way.

Here is a video and some snapshots I took this morning.
The one barking in the video’s background is Potter. Every time I play the video he barks at himself barking LOL!

And of course his barking woke up my grandson Ben who I am “forced” to watch on Tuesdays. Nothing is ever easy!

Standing on all fours! They are all doing this now….they just wouldn’t cooperate for me this morning when I had my camera out.

This is my step niece, Alex, who love to come over and play with the puppies.  I’m sure she’ll end up being a vet some day!

Now We Can See!

I am going to apologize upfront for two things:
1. The brevity of this post
2. The quality of my photos

I promise for more detailed updates soon but know that the puppys’ eyes are opening and that three of them have now broken the 1# barrier! The other three are close behind.

I also promise to get out my good camera for photos that have better focus.

We Have Been Very Busy!

It has been a very busy household. Maxi’s puppies are growing by leaps and bounds. But, Maxi is holding her weight….eating like a horse….and producing gallons of milk. The puppies’ eyes are still closed but their noses are beginning to turn. The two chocolates will have dark brown noses and the others will have dark black ones.

Here are some photos to enjoy.

Nursing puppies can have the craziest positions!

Maxi, the lunch counter.

This little girl is really going at it. Love her tail.

And now for some individual shots….

This is Puppy #2….a black parti girl. Note her nose hasn’t changed completely.
This is Puppy #3….a sable parti girl. Nose is almost all black.

Puppy #4… the black parti boy.

Puppy #1…chocolate parti boy. You can’t see his nose but it is almost all brown now.

Puppy #5….our other chocolate parti boy.

Puppy #6….our black parti girl.

Roll Out the Red Carpet!

Here are Maxi’s pups front and center! Aren’t they gorgeous?

Maxi is such a good mom. Puppies are all gaining nicely.

When I weigh them, I take a few minutes to stroke their tummies and nuzzle their little faces so they can get accustomed to people smells and touches.

At this stage they are both blind and deaf. But their senses of smell and touch are extremely keen. That is how they find their way to the milk station!

 Enjoy this morning’s video on YouTube. If you double click on the video it will enlarge to your entire computer screen. The background whining is from my puppy boy Potter who is so done with all the attention being diverted from him!
