Just a Day

We had a grooming, snuggle and play day...that's about it...

More tomorrow!

Caring for the Pups

Even Shoshi who has never had pups loves the snuggles the puppies give her.

When we had our first litter she thought they were Martians and she acted as if she was afraid of them.

Now she finds that they are quite sensational. See what time does?

Risa Overlooking

 Risa was trying to manage the little ones tonight reminding them not to jump in her face.

How did she? She had words with them each time they fell on her or close to her.

Risa wouldn't hurt a fly but its funny watching her manage the crew. She even held Jenkins in place.

Once the queen always the queen.

Nathan & the Dawgs

 I have a bunch of photos taken from today but no time to go through them this weekend. I will try next week but I will have a few in the various blogs.

We were blessed to have My, Steven and Eugenia with their havanese crew at our home today.

My and Steven brought us this ball that is a great hit. Thank you TRULY!!! We will have to get another cause with our crew it is bound to go missing.

But before we took out the ball (thank you greatly for this My and Steven) Nathan and Eugenia tried to get the crew going by running.

Honest, I didn't cut Nathan's head off on purpose. Here you see Monty staring at Nathan as if he is NUTS and the rest following the leader.

Wish I had time to show you all the photos but later....

Here's just a few...

I do hope we can get the younger set together like this soon.

Fun Play

Logan and Kat have a great time with each other lately. It's nice to see. What a big change from when he first visited us.

Kat didn't pay him any attention and Logan was a tad nervous with the crew but as you can see that soon faded.

Logan is a great fun filled dog and he loves visiting us but he loves going home too. I rather like that!

Busy Times

WE had a visit from Yvonne's pups and her pups and Nathan went visiting Molly with Roxie and Panda and got not a single photo - oh my.... so I missed out.

Cody is here hanging out and is getting he snip snip tomorrow. He's getting a ton of snuggles tonight.

Fiona gets her ultrasound tomorrow and Shoshi did something to her leg so she is also going to the vet. She has this ^%$# habit of jumping off the deck at the ducks or geese. argh...

Oh well...its a late night update tomorrow as we will not be back till after dinner time.

Catch you then! Dennis will be holding down the fort so to speak till then.

Meeting of the Minds

I love watching the havanese as a group. I find them fascinating. They can be standing just like this photo and appear not to be communicating but they are.

Just like humans there's the game of one upmanship, the crew that could care less and just want to party hearty and others that just want to fit in.

When a group has meshed you have little of that unless one happens to want to be queen or king.

At bedtime we have a little bit of jockeying if we have someone new join us but its all about who gets that spot in front of the fan or that top pillow spot or who gets to lay on those humans etc.

What do your havanese tell you?

Collision

Each time that I watched the dawgs do their run like hey game I kept thinking COLLISION but they come so close but not so close.

It's sort of like watching poetry in motion.

Today it was a warmer day and quite nice to hamg out and watch and click.

I can't wait till Treasures 2 can join in.

Motion Photos Today

 

It's so great catching them moving. They flow, they look a mess and they look like life is fun!

Jumping Times

It's been raining off and on but I tell you that wind does something for the soul. It gets the dawgs running and playing like never before - well since last Fall.

This year snow will be new to Panda, Rox - all the siblings, all the Wasabi pups of late and to the Treasure crew, Sounds like lots of weather related fun is to be had at least after all that shovelling and frozen toes and...

Ah... fun!

Run, Run

Did you feel this cold settling in? Did you have to go crazy getting your plants in? We did and we gavea literal jungle in the kitchen but it will wait till tomorrow before we distribute. For now the plants are warm, the dawgs are warm and so is the human.

Is it really deep Fall already?

It does seem to get the dawgs running and playing and jumping and getting into all types of trouble.

Me, I just want to climb into bed with all the dawgs and play with my ipad, snuggle and have the window open and climb under the blankets.

I will let you know how that goes.

Play Sessions

The dawgs don't play all day long. They have this feverish run and play and then they drop and rest and then they start again.

Do you think if we did that we would have more energy?

Curious Ant Watcher

More than most dawgs, Spice watches the ants go back and forth. You can see the eyes moving as if she has the intense desire to understand what these little black things are doing.

I am not sure why she finds it fascinating but she does it quite a bit - watching but never touching and they seem to leave her alone.

Is she the ant pack guard?

We Had Visiting Fun

We had a lot of fun and it was great to see Meeko, Panda, Rox, Kona, Logan and Spice playing.

Check out the photos!

Thanks again to Kathy for bringing Kona coffee - yum!

Kona got a new hairdo and if I do say so myself, Val did an excellent job on him. She did a scissor cut and I was impressed. You will adjust, Kathy!

Meeko is also back at her house and the Rox is missing her. Panda and Logan are also home and its rather QUIET here.

I got all my grooming in early. Kat has to have a bath tomorrow and tomorrow evening I get to go to a vaccination seminar. It's about the new protocols. I have over 100 pages to read tonight.

I know... I best get reading. Did I ever say I hate reading dry stuff? B-O-R-I-N-G but so necessary so I can know what is best.

It's best to learn until you die - or so they say!

Can I Get Dirty?

Spice had a bath today and she is on her way to looking like the cat dragged her through the bush.

I just love dawgs, I do, I do, I do. Repeat over and over when I see their dirty faces and all that laundry and grooming to do.

Okay, it's not that bad but it is one of those days.

Fiona is also still having morning sickness. Poor thing...

Since Mia

Since Mia came she has been mothering the pups. It's as if she went - oh my baby... and she got back into a mothering mode - which she was always great at.

Wasabi brings a smile to my face as she is truly a special dawg.

Fiona is going into yet another day of hardly eating. This morning sickness is not fun and she's one of those I need to give a bath to. Tomorrow...

Nathan is gone to a family celebration over the weekend so its me and the dawgs.

Kona is coming for a visit and Meeko's been visiting. Then we will get to see Coco and Doozie...ah fun.

Isn't an absolutely great day of sunshine? Thunderstorms coming tonight - oh well... so remind me why I am bathing tomorrow.

At the Word

We were at the word and it was - well not what it used to be but Kat enjoyed himself.

Then on the way to the car we got a hot dog and Kat wolfed it down like he was a starving dawg.

Kat needs a bath but he had fun.

Then we had a visit with Mia and her parents - now that was fun!

Mom That Hair

Now can you imagine Fiona walking around without her hair tied back?

This is another day of morning sickness and eating only half her meal.

Ultrasound on October 7th.

Wonderful Running & Pregnancy?

Kat was having a roaring grand time with Logan today doing that run like hey game. It was great to watch them.

It's been two days of morning sickness with Fiona. She is only eating half her food.

The dogs got so wet today that we had to dry and towel off the entire floor and them too.

I am tired but feeling better. Looking forward to getting out of the house tomorrow and you?

I want to check out http://www.prettieyiji.com/ in Hazleton Lanes. Nathan has been but I haven't.

Cutting Hair Inbetween Havanese Pads

It's a really crude version of how to cut the pads between the feet but that's all I am up to - sorry and Nathan - well he could do better with the camera. When someone else's feet grow, I will do another.

Maybe Fiona's pads need cutting? I will try to do one on cutting the feet nice and neat but don't count on that for a bit.

PS: This was a non grooming day as I am not up to it so you get to see Fiona a mess!

Here's the video
