Want to say thank you for the chocolate macrooms - yum!

Daphne is heading home with Louis. She was already keen at getting his attention. Going to be fun hearing how their relationship unfolds.

So miss these pups. They have been a magical crew. Luna from Nami will depart tomorrow morning then we will be left with Stryker. Stryker is the last of the Hallie crew.

Daphne's Last Bath

Here are her bath photos.

Daphne's family just got back from holiday and requested pickup today vs tomorrow. So, this one is going home today. She is going home to another havanese from us that is a therapy dog and this one will be trained to be one too. 

How was she in the bath? Very chill. As you can see she has this small grin on her.

Getting Quieter: More Photos Add Hall Play

Here is the gallery from their play session.

Pups are sleeping now after their play session. Daphne and Luna will depart on Monday.

It is going to be a change for them and a change for Stryker. Stryker gets his next vaccine on the 30th. Your puppies should be getting it done this week too. Let me know if they have any reactions. 

Then you wait 3 to 4 weeks after to get their 3rd vaccine.

Bowels remain solid here. They have had all their deworming they need. 

They are playing and having a good time. They stopped eating pads. - hooray. If you didn't know havanese love to rip paper. They love toilet paper rolls too. But they can strewn those paper pieces everywhere.

Be sure to check out the shorts. Plus the main directory of the videos here.

Play With Others

Here is the gallery.

We are making it a habit to have some of the other dogs playing with the pups so they get used to non mom dogs. 

They have fun with the older dogs and seem to be able to keep up with them as much as possible. They run, play and have a great time. Videos will be late as I have so much on my plate tonight.

Daphme remains even keel and can entertain herself at times.

Be sure to check out the shorts. Plus the main directory of the videos here.

Down to 4

Here is the play Gallery.

Daphne is looking as if to say - now what? She is independent and yet playful and even keel. It is hard to explain but if you look at the videos, you will see. 

The pups are interesting as their personalities continue to unfold when the number decrease.

Yesterday they were ever so quiet. Today they were playing and wanting to go out earlier than usual. They are adjusting to less siblings.

Be sure to check out the shorts. Plus the main directory of the videos here.
