Sadie-Joy takes the work of being a loving companion seriously!

I just learned that one of our ‘Hush Harbor” Families” has had some bad news.

Misty wrote, 
“My oldest daughter got in a horrible accident on January 29th. A truck struck her at 50 mph as she was walking across the street in a crosswalk. Sadie the therapy dog to the rescue. It’s all Emma has been asking for.”

Sadie Joy   You may remember her as “Joy” born in Gracie & Poppie’s 2013 litter called “Gracie’s Southern Charms”.

When I try to explain about what makes a Havanese so different, to define their character, I try to explain that they approach life as a “working class” dog.  Their work is to be a loving companion, whatever the circumstances. They take this work VERY seriously! We don’t send them to school to learn this .  Like Sadie, it’s not how they act, it’s WHAT THEY LIVE FOR!!

We are so glad that “Sadie-Joy” takes her “job” so seriously!!

Good Job, Sadie!!

GET WELL SOON EMMA!!!!!!!

Barkley is the classic Havanese.

He has beautiful silky hair, a teddy bear face, a loving and playful disposition and is ready to travel to his new home.  He is staying on the small side of the standard and will most likely mature to be about 11 pounds. He turned 9 weeks old on May 21st.  He has had his first two puppy shots in his series, had his dew claws removed and been seen by our vet for three well baby visits. He is enjoying learning to play with the adults of our pack and gets lots of time with his people. He is ready to learn how to be a personal companion or part of a family. I’d be happy to tell you all about him.  Give me a call t 314-772-4874.

Gracie’s Southern Charms turned 9 weeks on May 21st.  That means that they are ready to travel to their new homes.  Deacon is the first to leave us.  Today he is on his way to Philadelphia where his own little boys awaits him.  They will spend the entire three day weekend getting to know each other and learning how to be a family. While we will miss Deacon, it’s hard to be anything but excited for him and his new family!

Joy will soon be a California girl!!

6 weeksJoy will be joining her forever family on May 29th.  Meanwhile she is growing up every day in precious “puppy ways”.  She continues to use her potty pad, she loves to wrestle with her brothers, she now drinks out of a bowl AND her water bottle and she munches dry puppy food.  She still likes to nurse but Momma Gracie is slowing that down and using it as a calming affect to settle the pupsp down for long naps.  Joy is getting held every morning, during the day and in the evening and she loves to nibble on my ear.  She is precious!

Deacon has his ticket and is waiting to go HOME to Philadelphia!

Deacon is 6 weeks old now.

6 weeks- 3 more weeks to wait?? He has had his first round of puppy shots, is beginning to enjoy hard puppy food and is in the process of being weaned.  He still sleeps often and plays hard when he is awake.  He uses his potty pad “most” of the time.

He has discovered his crate.  It remains open inside the puppy palace and he can come  and go from it as he pleases. This is the very crate in which he will fly to his new family in Philadelphia on May 24th.

Between now and then, Gracie will continue to teach the puppies how to bahave. She will monitor their play and continue to see to it that they are kept clean.  Deacon is no longer and infant but a full fledged toddler!!

BARKLEY is available! Call today to reserve him.

Five weeks old    BARKLEY has had an exciting week. He is enjoying playing with new toys, running and playing tag with his sister and brother, learning to drink from his water bottle, and eating soft puppy food.  Perhaps the most exciting thing is that he is using his potty pad almost every time he needs to potty.  That keeps me busy changing the linen several times a day. Unfortunately all of the puppies seem to have no problem wrestling or just taking a break on that same potty pad. Puppies!

Gracie’s Southern Charms have moved from their small blue play pen in our living room to their new “Puppy Palace”.  They are in our family room, right next to my desk and near the kitchen. Here they have a new drinking bottle, a potty pad, an open crate to run in and out of, a dragon fly mobile, puppy mush and their Momma’s nursing stool which she uses to get in and out of their pen freely.  Barkley is learning wonderful new things and enjoying room to romp and play with his brother and sister.
