Havanese Puppy Update: Storm

Leave a Comment
Storm left with her forever home on Sept. 14 when she was 9 weeks old. She is one of Phoebe’s puppies with a spunky personality and a passion for giving lots of kisses. A Canadian citizen now, here are some of Storm’s family’s comments about her. And, yes, they decided to keep her name as it pretty much describes her personality!

Well, she is still doing great.  Had a perfect visit to the vet today.  Barely even barked at the shot she got.  The vet used to live in Michigan and volunteered with the Havanese Rescue Society.  He was so happy to see her as he says we just don’t see this type of dog around here.  That made me feel good that he was so familiar with the breed.

She weighed 3.1 pounds so is definitely growing.  We go back in a month again for more shots.

She loves to run and play several times a day and then sleeps like a baby after.  She has slept through the night once but usually gets up once or twice still.  Not too bad.  She goes right back to sleep with no issues after she wakes.

I haven’t taken any pictures at the winery yet but here are a couple from our house.

She is a precious little girl.  | have completely fallen in love with her.  My husband who grew up with larger farm dogs plays with her all night when he gets home from work.  She really likes him and goes nuts when he gets home.

We are having 6 people over tomorrow for a birthday party so we will see how she does with so many around her.

Will update more later.

Havanese Puppy Update: Blaze

2 Comments

Blaze was our littlest puppy of all sixteen but don’t tell him that because he won’t believe you. Big things do come in small packages. He has a heart as big as a forest and a personality to match.

He is now living just around the corner from me with a family of two adults and their three children. I am so glad we found such a good home for this little trooper…and that I will (hopefully) see him from time to time.

Here’s what his family has to say about Blaze, now renamed Flash for the current super hero!

Hi Jacqui
Just wanted to let you know that we are having a blast with our Flash! He has a spectacular (and very feisty) personality and is so loving and affectionate. He already knows to ring the bells to get outside and he’s doing very well with his potty training. We just love him!! Thank you is much for giving him such a great start!! He is very happy and very very loved!!

PS I will send a few more photos for you!!

And I forgot to tell you that he weighed 3.2 pounds at the vet on 9-7. He’s really growing!

Note: If you are new to my blog you may not know that this little guy weighed 2.8 ounces when he was born! I tube fed then bottle fed him for three weeks. Now he’s making up his slow start which really warms my heart. Can’t wait to hear how big he is in a year.

Havanese Puppy Update: Dew

Dew left for her forever home on September 10. She had a very long trip as her (formerly Michigan) family was driving to their home in Jupiter Florida! As you will read below, she fared quite well on the journey. Here’s what her family says about Dew along with some of their photos.

HI!

We returned to Jupiter on Friday evening about 8.  She did great!  The puppy pads worked great in the hotel and car.  We have named her “Maizie” – Bob attended the University of Michigan and we thought since she was Michigan it would fit.  She knows her name as you can imagine.  She’s very smart and you were right about wanting to get her way.  I have attached a few pictures.  Bob is really involved in the training.  Lots of fun!

Thanks again!

Beth . . . and Bob

Her space in Bob’s office.  We move the bed to our room at night.  She’s sleeping until 5:30.  We have a bell on the front door and will begin that training soon.

Walking with Bob on our road trip home.  She loves to walk.  I have figured out the harness and we walk down the street in the morning.

She rode in the carrier most of the way and slept in it at the hotel.
 

In the hotel.

I’ll send more as she grows.

Update on Thunder, now Parker

Hi Jacqui,
I just wanted to let you know we made it home without incident. He let me know every time he needed to potty or eat, so we had no accidents in the car. 🙂  He has completely stolen my heart!! Tommy won’t admit it, but he is falling hard for him also! We are about 95% sure his name is going to be Oliver. (My note: his name actually became Parker!) He is adjusting quite well. He has been eating and drinking just fine, and only woke up twice through the night. Marley is spending a couple days at the sitters so Oliver can get use to his surroundings before the big introduction. I’ll let you know how things go. I will send pictures soon. Can I send them to your phone or do you prefer e-mail? Take care, and again, thank you so much for everything.

Hi Jacqui,
We picked Marley up yesterday from the sitters and the initial meeting went well. We are settling in to somewhat of a routine. We had a couple moments where Marley needed a little space at first, but he’s been loosening up as time goes on. He started to run and play with Parker at one point last night, but then decided he wasn’t quite ready and jumped up on the couch to get away. Then this morning, Marley has been picking up a toy, then brings it in the vicinity of Parker and drops it, to let him play with it. He doesn’t engage with Parker when he does this, but it’s clear he’s letting him have the toy. Also, today he started to let Parker lick his face but then backed off again…slow but sure. I will keep you posted on the progress, I’m sure it’s only a matter of time and they will be best buddies! Take care, Teresa

Three Puppies Left!

You can see my Personality Profiles of all these puppies at my website, https://www.carneyshaven.com  Look under the “Puppy Blog Archives.”
These two photos are of Rain, a sweet and precocious little girl that loves to give kisses!

These two photos are of Hancock who loves people and his toys. I’d love to place him in a show home. He has a fabulous coat, nice topline, great structure and a handsome face.

And this is Franklin. He is what is known as a ‘Satin-coated Havanese.’ This means he has the recessive genes that give him a shorter and more satiny coat. He will not need much in the way of grooming as his coat will remain the same length. He will also shed slightly and may not be the best candidate for persons with allergies. He is, however a darling little guy who loves to snuggle and romp.
