Meshing Well

We are now snuggled up to our siblings. How so? We both have Stone as a Daddy so yeah we are siblings of sorts. When we first went into the pen to share we gravitated towards each other but now you can find just the opposite. 

Here is the gallery of the 2 crew.

In 3 days we will go from a meshed group of 7 to 6 and then it all begins.

We are upstairs as the human types playing our hearts out. This is how we get tuckered out and sleep all night. We are also all doing well about the pad. Wish it was warmer so we could do more outdoor play but you will enjoy that with your humans. This is the 1st time we have had to deal with this extreme cold for a prolonged period of time making it hard to expose the pups to outdoors.

Be sure to check out the videos.

Late Update

I think this car is devine. Where did the humans get it? On Amazon. If you are interested in getting one, look on Amazon and search for

Luxury Sports Car Design Pet Bed for Small Dogs

We have had a blast with several play sessions. We are about to go on another and this human has 1 more dog to groom so this blog is short.

Be sure to check out the videos.

Still Meshing

The pups are still meshing quite well and it is actually good that we were able to merge them. The more exposures they get, the better for them. 

This little beauty won't be going home till 2 weeks from now so she will be hanging out with her sister and us for 2 more weeks. Then her sister will come to bed with us and Nathan will hog her as much as he can. LOL

Be sure to look at the gallery on the Adele blog. 

Check out the videos as well. 

We will see you in the new year - tomorrow!

We Are a Team: 2 Updates Today

Yes, we slept with THOSE puppies and played with them all day. Can you believe just before we go home we are all together as one team. Tonight we join them again. It's a blast and we are proactive for ourselves and they LISTEN. Bravo - everyone is getting where they should be. 

Here is the gallery of the 2 crew.

I have to weigh this crew before they depart. 

I watched them quite a bit last night. Maybe I watched them too much. Their firsts I feel so compelled to watch to see how they do. I can't help myself. So I am feeling the lack of sleep today.

Pups are wonderful. Oh my gad are they!

Be sure to watch the videos.

Make Note

This gal loves these teepee beds. When she goes home, I bet she would love one!

The pups got some alone time playing with their mom upstairs. Every now and then I think that is important. See the gallery.

Pups are keeping up with the older guys. They are not a vocal duo. They sit and wait. Perhaps they learned that this didn't get the Adele pups what they wanted. maybe it is just their nature. It seems to be Ravens too - playful but more laid back.

Off to watch tv with Nathan and the dogs. The pups are all upstairs with Dennis.

Be sure to check out the videos.

Growing Up

All the pups are playing together regularly now. Today I had to remind Kai that she was being too rough. Pups. They need to learn boundaries and they do the last 2 weeks.

Be sure to check out the gallery in Adele's blog to see what they were up to and then check out the videos.

They play, they sleep and they eat. It's a life!

Keeping Up

Each day both litters play together several times a day. They run, chase and pounce. As I type, I hear them doing just that upstairs with Dennis.

Blogs are short tonight. I apologize but I am trashed. Just too many days of heavy grooming and no down time. I hope you understand. Be sure to look at teh gallery of both litters on Adele's blog.

Also, be sure to view the videos.

Baby It's Cold Outside

If you want to see the outdoor gallery of both litters, be sure to check out Adele's blog. 

The pups got to play indoors too and boy do they appreciate the warmth. See the indoor gallery of both litters. 

The little girl above has colours bleeding through yet again. Havanese change colours at least the sables and brindles do throughout their lives. Those with the silvering gene do as well. But as I say you fall in love with the personality. 

The pups are upstairs yet again playing their hearts out. Just listening is fun.

Be sure to check out the videos.

Out in Snow

It was cold. It was windy and oh boy all the pups got cold. they were curious but brr they were shaking due to teh cold and so was I. hahahaha

Here is the gallery in the snow of both crews.

The pups have adapted to the new area seamlessly. They are playing with the Adele pups and being proactive for themselves. They get so excited to see Jeannie in the morning and Jeannie is so excited to see them. She refuses to go out to do her business in the morning till she knows they are okay and fed. 

Be sure to look at the videos.

Also check out the Adele blog as there will be another gallery of them playing upstairs with both crews.
