Our Havanese Puppies at 6 weeks
I just posted a video I took two days ago when my brother and sister-in-law were visiting.
Enjoy!
Havanese Haven
Good Morning Havanese Puppies!
I love waking up these days!
I love watching the puppies even more…especially after they have eaten, the pen is clean and they start their day of play.

| They love these plastic rings. Now that they are bigger, I can hang them in their pen. |

| They have been using the litter pans for almost two weeks now. |

Now We Have Names
Our little Havanese puppies have gone long enough as numbers. Now that they have begun to show their little personalities I have pegged them with names that may, or may not, hold true for these personalities down the road. This is not to say I expect their families to keep these names, mind you!
As for the theme of this litter, I tried to work New Year’s Eve into it and the best I could come up with is another alphabet theme…”Z” for the last letter of the alphabet…as in the last day of the year!

Havanese Boy Puppy #1
I want to apologize for being remiss in my posts. We had a bit of a tragedy here last Saturday that has taken up a considerable amount of my time. Once the puppies’ eyes opened and they began moving around I noticed the chocolate boy puppy demonstrating some unusual behavior. I had always bottle fed him as he was unable to nurse sufficiently to gain weight; though the bottle proved not to be a problem and he did gain weight nicely. However, after a few days of observing his unusual behavior and spending extra time trying to help him to no avail, I took him to my vet who immediately determined the pup had suffered a stroke either in the womb or during the trauma of birth. He strongly recommended I put him down as he had permanent brain damage. Of course I was crushed but knew it was the humane thing to do.
Anyway we are back on track and the other eight puppies are doing great! I thought I’d devote a separate post to each puppy….mainly because I have a hard time keeping them straight myself.
So here is puppy #1, a little boy. Keep going back in the posts to see the other seven!
Havanese Boy Puppy #2
If you look closely, you might appreciate that, on my former post, puppy #1 and puppy #2, as pictured originally, are actually the same puppy. So, I have now edited my post, and removed the erroneous photos, to reflect the real puppy #2. He is, by all marks, a sweetie. I hope he forgives me for this oversight!!!
