Snow Gallery and More

Check out the gallery. Tosca is a riot. She thinks this white stuff tickling her tummy is something else. At first she wasn't quite sure as it does come up to her tummy but she got into it. 

All pups got combed out as they came in. I decided next outdoors I should wait as I don't want then to think going out means grooming - now do I. 

Oh well they say rain later this week so this is such a short fun stint.

Puppy Jazz

Oh my look at Tosca just getting her play on. Here is today's gallery. Many have the adults in it as well. They are having an absolute grand time. We have Tosca, Alvin, River and Stone here playing crazy. Adele was over the moon happy to see Tosca too. 

If it snows vs rain tomorrow, I will have to take video. I do not think the puppies have stopped playing and playing and playing. I have a feeling they will either be over tired or sleep soundly.

They are eating well and all the pups love Inula as well!

This is It

You will now find us and our future galleries in with the bigger set now as we are running and playing with them. We have adapted to playing with the larger set without an issue. 

When we have puppy visits, we will post it here.

Changing Times

Here is a gallery that we took. I am so tired if I come across silly, ignore me. :-) I am at that punch drunk stage.

Well the pups had their pen reduced and was spending out some time with the adults. Then today Leti was in protective mode (Circled her body to hide her pups) so Dennis had the pups outside with the adults and now that Dennis is sleeping the pups have been out all day long with Nathan. So we are trying to figure out if it makes sense to have the pups come to bed now. Nathan may do it and allow me to sleep elsewhere with some dogs so I can sleep. We do have 2 dogs in heat so if Jonathan is home from his ski trip he may be getting them and then maybe after the grandkids are here they can take Ella and Saffron as those are the 2 in heat. So much juggling and so many changes.

How are the dogs adjusting to the changes? They LOVE it. Why not. I will be glad when we don't have gals in heat. 

Inula was over the moon happy to see the pups and Rocco kisses them. Oh my gad I wish I had a camera when he did but he actually kisses them. 

Can't wait till Alvin comes to visit. Yeah we have baby pups but I miss the crew!

2 Stooges

It's been one of those days that we haven't been able to go outdoors. It is simply too cold. We got into a lot of trouble. You see Daddy forgot to spray the pad. See the evidence. 

Yes, we are not perfect but when we get bored - well.... Mommy was busy doing dogs and Daddy was laying down sick and it was just Dennis so we had to let our inner spirit out.

But we were lucky. We had Momma Roxie to play with. She's so much fun. Momma Adele is sulking around as River simply doesn't play with her like Charlie does. She will get over it. Roxie slowly is saying these 2 kids are ALL MINE!

River always enjoys being on top. Perhaps that is why Adele plays with her less than Charlie. Charlie tends to be a team player. River wants it her way. One wonders how well that will bode her with this crew. 

We are waiting till all the holiday crew departs and then they come into bed. Till then they are still in the xpen at night. Changes are coming!

Now There is 2: Videos Added

Charlie had his bath, got his nails done, his pads clipped and I heard he was so excited to see his Momma. 

Everyone worries but they always remember you. They are happy to come and happy to go home. It is truly a holiday for them too. Aren't you glad to be home after a holiday - well till you have to work. :-)

Here's a very small gallery. 

Want to say a huge thank you to Charlie's mom for the gifts from afar. Very nice and the slipper socks - oh my are they welcomed at the moment. Brrr its so cold and Nathan says its warm enough in here. Hmm I don't think so.

Having a tough time uploading to Youtube so will add videos as they make it.

Bath and Last Play

Charlie just finished his bath. I had 7 dogs to do today - none my own. I just now finished. To say it was a long day is an understatement. I don't have many videos but do have 1 gallery. We will miss the Charlie. It has been a pleasure to have him here. But his Momma misses him. He departs and he gets to have 1 on 1 attention and he gets to start classes. We can't wait to hear all about it!

This is a Test

Who is chasing whom? Can you tell?

Here is a gallery that Dennis took when he had the pups out with some of the adults. For us discerning havanese types that have been doing this for a long time, one has a female face and one has a male face. It is obvious that each have their respective gender face. At times some breeders will go that boy has a female looking face. Now you ponder on that and try to figure out what they meant. It took me a bit of time.

Here are a few videos. Charlie will be gone in 2 days and then we will be down to the duo till Alvin arrives.
