Marli’s three little girls are one week old today. She has been a great mom. Very relaxed and attentive. She has no issues with the other dogs being in the bedroom where she and the puppies are. Maxi and Phoebe had fits when the other dogs came around! Hard to get good photos of these little guys because they are so dark. But I do see some tan coming through on their feet, chests and cheeks. They are going to be gorgeous!
I just posted a video I took two days ago when my brother and sister-in-law were visiting.
Enjoy!
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. |

| Play, play, play |
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!

Our puppies had their first taste of Florida sunshine yesterday. It has been a cold winter, even down here, so they haven’t been outside until now. Enjoy their romps on this video.

Also, I came to the shocking realization yesterday that my individual photos are a little off! Puppy boy 1 and 2 were the same puppy!!! I’m really seeing a lot of black and white and it is beginning to affect my brain. That’s my excuse anyway.
So, I corrected the photos of Puppy #2.
And, I weighed the puppies just to see how they compare and here are the results:
Puppy boy #1: 1# 14 oz.
Puppy boy #2: 1# 14 oz. (this is not a mistake. I checked it three times! LOL)
Puppy girl #3: 1# 10 oz.
Puppy girl #4: 2# 2 oz.
Puppy girl #5: 1# 15oz.
Puppy girl #7: 1# 15 oz.
Puppy boy #8: 2# 4 oz.
Puppy girl #9: 2# 8 oz.
Other new happenings:
 |
| Puppies still sleep a lot. It does not appear that there is any stress here at all! |
 |
| They look like spokes of a wheel when they eat. This is kibble soaked in water overnight. They love it! |
 |
| More sleeping! |
 |
| Taking a taste of Mama’s food.
