Maxis Havanese Puppies at 2 days old
The first few days are always nail biters. Puppies that appear healthy suddenly take a turn. Puppies that you are worried about either fail to improve or surprise you with spurts of energy. I am happy to report today that all is well. Everyone has gained at least 2 grams from yesterday when their weights were basically in a holding pattern or dropped slightly.
Since it is difficult to get individual shots just now, I thought you’d enjoy a video. Listen carefully for their little squeaks and grunts!
Catching up With Hermoine
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.
