Havanese Puppy Magic

Well, it's almost the magical witching hour - Halloween, of course. My pups are all seeing, reacting and growing concerns. Since day 14, they have been crawling into and out of the bed with ease. Tux was also the first to get up on those legs and just walk then fall on his face, of course but improving each time within hours.

Still, now they are all doing that walk and getting more proficient as the hours go by. I am amazed how fast they are getting mobile. I can't even get close now and they find me.

Snuggles are the norm around here and mommy said it's nice that the pups have this way satisfied face on when you snuggle them and hold them in your arms. They look at you as if everything is right in the world and it is for them!

Check out Tux in this photo saying - 'Mom, I am not done - you just thought I was'. No incognito thang can be played out here anymore even when I am empty from all that eating. We are in for exciting times!

Now that they can see us, the activity has grown immensely. They are really attracted to the bed and these toys we have in the box at various times. We are practicing slow conditioning to many textures, items etc. As soon as they hear, we are going to do a tape of various sounds that we will play from time to time to get them used to the sounds - anything from traffic to thunder, to loud children etc.

They really like these two small blankets that Mommy and Katsuro got that are incredibly soft. Mommy wants a large one for her bed. They rub their faces on it, roll on it and even go across the box to get to it when placed away from them. Mommy found this so interesting. She's doing a lot of testing with them and daddy is too but he is concentrating on all the snuggles, cuddles and all that good stuff.

Another thing that is becoming interesting is the same pair, after eating does this thing where they each try to put their head on top of the others back and they go back and forth over and over again till they settle in for a nap. In four times that they have done this that mommy has seen, the gal has taken top spot on the smallest boys back. What this means - who knows.

Well, more later as mommy is finally recovered from a computer problem and her other one daddy has been kind enough to get a replacement so she can get back to doing business like she always had. It's been tough for her just working on the laptop.

After Bath Havanese Still Needs Brushing

Mommy gave me a bath with Katsuro. No shame around here. We all share. She even set me under a dryer and semi dried me out while brushing. I feel so clean but I think the pups went sniff sniff - who is THAT!

Here I am looking at whatever mommy thinks she is feeding me - yuck! You can do much better, mommy! I am not sure about this stuff. It looks like it's going to crawl out of the dish - yikes!

Did you notice that silly mommy dressed one of my pups up for Halloween and created a Havanese Halloween Safety Tips to help you keep your Havanese safe? Do keep your Havanese safe. They are very precious and deserve it!

Havanese Mom Needs Bath

One day, I am going to blackmail mom with these photos she takes of me. She tells me that now that it is day 13, I need a bath. So what if my cute pups have been making my stomach interesting and so what if I looked like the cat just dragged me through the rafters...I sort of LIKE that look. It's better than a bath any old day!

Well, she tells me that Katsuro needs a bath too so I guess I will have a playmate during this cleaning process. Mom likes to have fun with us when we get a bath and it works. I do enjoy my time but mom will have to blow dry me today as its a bit cold and the puppies will create knots otherwise.

Each day mom gets up, gives me a massage - ahhhh and combs my hair and then weighs the babies. It used to worry me as she would put them in this sling and then hold them carefully in the air. I had no clue what she was up to but I trust the old human mom so I have calmed down and don't even get in the whelping box while she does it. She does though and one day someone is going to capture her in her jammies doing it. Oh...if i could only hold the camera myself.

Well more later...

Perfect Havanese Puppy

My mom, Wasabi told me that 'nobody is perfect but me' except for my 5 other siblings - silly mom.

Yeah, my Havanese Halloween t-shirt came today and I just had to share it. It was dropped off the door. Mommy bought it for us from someone local on Ebay. She sells cool shirts just my size - well I have to grow a tad but it's poi-fect!

Now what do you think my 5 other siblings should wear? Got any ideas? The Halloween Havanese Witching hour will soon be here but we can't have candy. Halloween chocolate is toxic to us - well any chocolate.

We had visitors today - all these hairy things hanging out at the gate. Me thinks they were Havanese too. Yes, mommy says they were and they happen to be her pals from Sonrisas and the rest of the pack that live here.
