Time Usually Flies But….

…this is ridiculous. The puppies are already 4 1/2 weeks old! That’s what holidays full of family, friends and Havanese will do to you!  They are growing…no surprise there. And this is the stage where their little personalities begin to surface. We have Rudolph, the independent one. Then there’s Dancer, who I thought was a cry baby until I realized he was just bored…probably the brightest one in the bunch the way he explores new toys. Angel is a little on the quiet side…so far, that is. And, Chilli is a rolly-poly  love muffin!

Fun!

Anyway this begins a difficult weak as I wean the puppies from their mother. They have been eating canned puppy food and goat’s milk for about ten days now but neither they nor their mother want to give up the nursing. I had to take Phoebe to be with me last night because she wakes up in the wee hours of the morning keening for her babies. A few more days and this will pass and they can romp and play together until they drop from exhaustion.

Just a few photos to update you.

Puppies on the Way

Phoebe is with puppies! I feel a little weird getting so excited about another litter.
Can’t explain it. I love puppies, plain and simple. The sire is Specs, a perky and loving boy from Michigan’s thumb…one of Kathy Ambler’s boys. Specs is a champion…in the USA and Canada. Beyond that he is handsome, outgoing and friendly. These are his pictures.

What more could a grandmother ask for?

Due date early December…stay tuned!
