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.
