Here's to Firsts

Let's see we had some firsts. Saffron came to bed with me and as this is her 2nd litter she knew what that meant. The pups went upstairs in a new set up right across the hall with us away from Mommy. We do this to get them conditioned to no mom. This starts the process of getting them to be the best they can be when they go home.
I always say to myself is this the right time for these pups. A lot of thought goes into it. They have to be eating and drinking and sleeping well.
I watch them off and on all night on my tablet. I can't help myself. I do nod off but I do check frequently and I can hear them via the tablet and I can hear them as they are close. They just can't see us. This is the start of independence from mom.
How did they do? They were wonderful. They used the crate to sleep and sleep they did most of the night. They only had 1 accident off the pad. Good one little ones. They are learning!
They were sleeping when Nathan came to get them. No crying. They ate from mom when they came downstairs.
They also saw visitors today outside and did really well. Unfortunately no photos or videos as I was not there - Nathan was.
They LOVE playing and coming out.
Friday they get their first baths. Saturday they will have their families visiting.
What a fun week and they are truly agile beings. Just love them!!

They are so lovely, each and every one.
I'm curious how Saffron reacts to being away from the pups overnight.
Her first time having a litter she fretted and cried at the door. Now she lays on top of me and watches the tablet. She reacts when they move or make a noise. She seems to accept this is the next stage.
Saffron is interesting. she communicates with you. Today she kept going to the pups and then going to the gated area outside. She wanted her pups to go outside. when she wants them to go out and play she lets me know.
She is a riot!
Havanese are so expressive, just love it.
How interesting that she watched them on the tablet and understood that those were her pups. Smart girl !!
Smart Saffron! Your havanese are all smarties!
