Very Short Blog

Pups had their baths today. They were not crazy about the crate drying but they survived.

Here is a small gallery of them playing after the bath.

It was faster than the individuals but challenging as they are good at being agile.

Maltese Was in the House

The Maltese is Coco and she had a blast with the adults and the puppies. Anyone who can play like crazy with 14 pups - well it was great! She started out slow and not sure but when the pups were friendly and the adults were plenty, she relaxed and played like CRAZY. The pups enjoyed it. It was a good experience for them and for Coco.

Here is the gallery.

I kept stopping grooming to have my moments and it was well worth it.

On High

Some havanese like to be on high. You can often find a havanese on the back of a couch or a recliner, if allowed as they enjoy watching from up high.

Check out the gallery.

The Leti crew is such an interesting crew. Each and everyone rolls on their back for me to let me rub their tummy. It is a riot. I just love it!

Oh the Play

The play is something else now. They surely know how to have fun. I can't imagine how much fun you will have with them. Dennis did 1 play session with them, I did the rest. I had a great time playing with them. I still smile with the snow visit. Let's hope it snows so Nathan can have teh experience.

Be sure to check out the videos.

Short Blog

Check out the videos.

Pups are getting bigger. They have an amazing amount of fun. They can be mischevious at times but they make you laugh. You have to contain yourself to correct them and try to keep a straight face/

Cold Day, Snow Anyone?

Here is the gallery of the pups on their 1st outdoor day plus snow!

I am so pleased at how much fun they had. I kept thinking they were cold but not till the end did we have 1 pup lifting their leg. When they lift up their pads - pups or adults, they are too cold. They lasted quite a bit of time and truly had a successful blast.

Up stairs, down stairs. They did it all. Some explored far and wide. It was an experience and I so enjoyed it!

We headed upstairs after and had some really fun play. Nathan is never going to believe how well they did. I am so proud of these little ones. They sure do adjust to change and rather enjoy new experiences.

Can we keep them all?

The Leti Pups

We have Spirit from Leti as our continuation of our breeding line. I so wish I could keep one of these. Their spirit and fun is outstanding. To be honest, any of these could carry the name spirit well.

Here is the gallery.

We have limitations with Nathan gone. Dennis doesn't like his photo taken. So, I respect that. But I can't capture me running with the pups, which I do. I have to stop filming or clicking photos so we get play time in. It's only fair to the pups. When Dennis does the last play session he doesn't bring up a camera. As soon as blogs are done, I am about to take them out for another play session then I must do a full grooming on a dog before we feed dinner.

It's a busy house but a fun one!

Oh My

I am not telling you whom - you need to guess but you know our guestroom that the dogs run in? Well, we have doggy stairs in it as Nathan uses it when we have gals in heat and we need to keep the boys and gals separate. We place the stairs up when the pups are in there to keep them off the bed.

One of Leti's pups took the hanging blanket and scaled it to the top of the bed. I wish I had the camera going then but I was in so much shock. There is a first time for everything and the puppy was proud of itself.

Be sure to check out the videos.

Pups are really enjoying the play!
