Havanese Haven
Sienna’s puppies are really into their new food!
And “nailing it” with potty training at just 3 1/2 weeks!
On The Move!!
Sienna’s pups are 18 days old now and their eyes are wide open!
And boy are they motoring!!
Now the fun really begins!!
One Week Old and Twice as Big!
The beginning of socialization! My daughter in law getting her first wiff of puppy breath and giving Sienna some loving!
Our puppies turned 1 (week) today! They are doing great…even the little one! Everyone has at least doubled their weight which is a good sign.
The first three weeks are always the clinchers. I
don’t want to let Sienna outside because we have tons of deer in our neighborhood. They are beautiful but also disease carriers. While the pups do benefit from Mom’s antibodies in the colostrum and in her milk, I am nervous.
Here are some recent photos!
Grandson Ben loves to hold puppies! This is the same young man featured on the “cover” of this website….10 years ago! He is holding our littlest one, Luxio.
They try to sleep in clumps!
You can’t see them all, but the other 5 are nestled under the whelping pen’s pig rail. A pig rail prevents mom from accidentally crushing one of her babies.
Sienna getting some quality on my bed with Luxio. My way of making sure this pup gets all the milk he needs. Special times.
Sienna, me and Luxio. (I am terrible at selfies!)
Sienna’s Puppies–Day 3
As a first time mom, Sienna was a little bewildered when her puppies began to arrive. But after the fourth pup descended (she has 7!), her instincts kicked in big time.
Fast forward to Day 3 and she has got this!!
In the video below she is seen picking up one of the pups to gently (puppy never made a peep) and place him in the circle of babies so that she could curl her body around all of them for nursing. I think this is just amazing!
