Wasabi the Havanese Almost Ready

Well daddy took some great photos of me while I was in my whelping box snuggling with my duck. Is that what I am going to have - little cloth ducks that go quack, quack? Can't you see the concerned look on my face? What am I having in this stomach that seems to 'rock and roll' all the time. Mommy keeps giving me massages so I feel better and I do but...

I am spending more time hanging out in the whelping box wondering what my hormones are telling me - soon - yeah soon. I love the toys that my other momma Rita got me when she was with Auntie Yvonne, Lola and Mags doing the deed. I am hoping she's pregnant too - whatever pregnant is. Mom tells me I will figure THAT out soon.

Another Monday

It's just a lazy day today. Mommy created another page for the Havanese crew events and the 'Food For Thought' info. This way you know what my mom and dad are all about. Even their human kids think they are crazy - crazy in love with us furry crew.

Mom was bored and decided to see what I would look like with my hair standing up straight. My - she needs a life. I had to tell her to take it out. She had this idea she was going to leave it that way till daddy got home and parade me on my walk like that. I told her to do that with HER hair and we have a deal - knowing full well she would never go there. Still, the thought of her with her hair on end...well I won't tell you what thoughts that conjures up.

Well, it is now approx day 44. I can't wait till I see them. I have never been this big before in my life and wow can you hear those heartbeats. In 11 days I go to the vet to see how many they see.

Nathan's Adventure Into Feeding Wasabi

It is now Sept. 16, 36 days after her first breeding. Wasabi's tummy has a slight bulge, she hasn't really gained much weight yet, ounces only. She seems to be suffering from morning sickness and she is definitely more lethargic, preferring to sleep. Always a finicky eater, she's worse now or she has my number, waiting for the increasingly good fare she gets when the hours pass and her bowl remains untouched. So far today, she stayed in bed an hour after everyone else had gone down and outside, eaten breakfast etc. Now she's asleep on the couch. Tough life. I'll try to get her eating shortly.

Wasabi's First Adventure in Motherhood

Well, we recently found out that Sonrisas' Hot N Spicy Wasabi is pregnant for the first time. It's so exciting. Wasabi is a Canadian championship. The sire is R'Gang's Buster At Rockhurst who is an American and Canadian champion.

You can see the beautiful dam here with one of her pack mate's Risa's pups. She's going to make such a great mom. She played with Risa's and tried to take care of them throughout. We would even catch her in spying on them in the middle of the night.

Such exciting times.

Wasabi is having morning sickness, not acting her usual playful self.

We set up the whelping box and Wasabi jumped in and we wondered if she thought Risa was going to have more pups but this is her turn and we know she is going to love it.

Wasabi is due mid October so she is now more than halfway through her pregnancy.
