Havin’ Fun With The Moms!
Puppies are 7 weeks old! Where did the time go?
They are so entertaining!
Puppy Play
The Days Fly By!!
I can’t believe it’s been 10 days since my last post. I am so sorry…especially for the families who are starving for updates of their little ones!
Yesterday the kids had their first full bath and did great!
They also got their fourth pedicure. 9 puppies….162 nails! I introduced them to the dremel which is a great way to file their nails. The one I have is cordless and very quiet. They were a bit confused but no one freaked out!
I also have been introducing different objects into their pen. This morning it was a plastic box turned upside down. They LOVED it! Anything that puts a Havanese above the others is always a hit!
This is Hawthorne (now Poco) who took a particular fancy to the box!
Hawthorne and Anikin tussling on the box.

A well earned nap!
Boys and Their Toys!
These are a couple shorts of Luke and Anikin playing. Enjoy!
Morning Play Time
Moms are eating outside the Puppy Pen now because they are not willing to share!
But it is a perfect time to get the puppies at their playful best.
Note our new setup. One of the whelping boxes is still in the pen as a private bedroom for the moms when they want some peace.
I vary the flooring in the pen with lots of different textures and a fluffy crate bed for them to climb on and build strength in their legs.
And I have added a pee pad which they are already using.
Finally, I left the original sound on the video. I think their little growls and barks are a hoot!
Enjoy!!
What a fun stage!
And…just like that…they are sound asleep!
Mouthing Phase is Normal and Important!
At 3 weeks puppies will start exploring their environment and their littermates by “mouthing”.
This is not to be confused with a 10 week old puppy’s mouthing which can be a bit painful!
I find it endearing…one of the first signs of interaction with others around them.
