Havanese Playhouse Discovery

Hey - this is Wasabi and Mommy's done it again. She's having the pups test the waters. Here she has a Zanies Kitty Playhouse - yeah that's what they call it. It changes into 8 shapes and it's a tunnel (see the figure below).

The base - well the innards is foam based so it's different to walk on than our whelping box that has a rug that helps us to have grip. That helps us strengthen our legs. It's easy to wash or wipe clean. That makes it WAY useful for puppies.

Mommy says this helps my pups get familiar with different textures but it also helps feed our curiosity of new things. Only 3 of us have tried it so far but it's way fun.

You should see how we navigate through the tunnel. In the coming weeks, we will be trying it in a variety of shapes and keeping track of who does what. Care to see a larger photo of my pup looking around, simply click on his photo.

Here's one of my pups almost saying, "Is this the way out?" Maybe I should just take a nap and call it a day but he didn't. He found his way from one end to the next with no trouble but spent more time than one of the others checking out the surroundings.

The one with the mask decided it was good to look around but walk right through without hanging out.

The one that my human mom and dad call Tux checked the entire place out spending the most amount of time in the tunnel. All 3 found their way out without issue.

I, the Wasabi want to climb in too but I just fit. Are we in for some real fun or what. Cats aren't the only ones that can enjoy these thinking toys. Us Havanese types are known for using our minds. My kids - oops pups are the smartest ever. ROFL!!!!!
