Havanese Puppies Eyes are Opening!

1 Comment

One of Marli’s puppies has her eyes open now and a second is almost there. Here are three photos I took this morning.

Girl #1 has her eyes open! She, like her siblings, is moving around quite well in the whelping box. She is black and tan with white markings on her paws, her chin and her chest. The tan is showing up on her rump and her legs. She also appears to have some lightening on her eyebrows. At 13 days old she weighs 13.4 ounces. This puts her right on a par with Maxi’s pups at the same age.

Girl #2 still has her eyes completely closed. But she is a bit smaller than her sisters so this is no surprise. She, too, is moving around nicely. She is black with white markings…no tan in her coloring at this point. She weighs 11.4 ounces.

And, you can’t see it from this photo but girl #3 has slight openings in her eyes. She weighs 12.5 ounces, is moving around well and is black and tan with white markings.

Havanese Puppies One Week Old

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!

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.

Tossing and rolling

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

Now We Have Names

Leave a Comment

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!
