Catching up With Hermoine

Leave a Comment

We are back in Florida now and I had the lovely opportunity to catch up with Hermoine, who is now Meisha, and her parents Linda and Steve. I am happy to report they are one very happy family. We had a nice chat that covered everything from grooming tips to food to socializing and “obedience” training. Nothing serious, mind you!

Anyway here are some pix from our visit.

This is one of my favorite parts of breeding. Nothing better than seeing the little ones you were responsible for bringing into this world and knowing they have found the very best family!

Puppy Outing in the Puppy Room

I took the puppies out to meet the other dogs today. Maxi was a bit nervous at first but settled right in.
Potter was the one most interested in the puppies. Then came Lily. Phoebe and Willow were pretty much nonplussed.  Here are the photos. You can see how big they are getting. Pedicures later today for all!  36 paws….150 nails!!!

Playing inside the whelping box

Total relaxation. I love this pose!

Checking out the picnic blanket.

Meeting Potter who just came in from romping in a rainy yard.

Maxi looks like she’s taking a head count.

Potter wants to play but the puppy wants to escape!

Okay they’ve pretty much ignored the picnic blanket.

Nothing better than snuggling with a sibling and mom.

Maxi multi-tasking.  Feeding the sable pup and bathing the black parti.

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.

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.

Our super mom Havanese, Maxi, delivered 6 healthy, beautiful puppies early this morning! We have three girls and three boys…3 black and white, 2 chocolate and white and 1 sable and white. One girl is 5.5 ounces and the others are all 6.0 and 6.1 ounces! I’ll post more photos tomorrow but here is one to enjoy for now.
