Totally forgot to share when momma Meli went home! Puppies were fully weaned at 6 weeks and shortly after that Meli was able to go home to her guardian family 💞 She is bouncing back beautifully and thrilled to be back with her cavalier “sisters”! The puppies snuck a farewell snack 🥛 😂

Oh Puaʻa…happy 10th birthday (10/27)! My sweet old man dog, the one that started it all 🥰 He sleeps most of the day away, but when he gets lively… watch out for a big puppy 😂 My Cavalier journey has been a special one with this boy at my side 💝 Here’s to many more my pumpkin poochie pie 😂

Last litter update and it’s bitter sweet. Everyone has grown up so gorgeously, personalities have blossomed and p**p has abounded 😂 but seriously, these little ones are such a pleasure and so excited for their new families!

Pup-date! Everyone is looking great at 7 weeks, happy to have gotten a nice group shot because they are one good looking crew of cavalier pups 😊

Well, this is the story I wish did NOT happen but had to share, whether it helps someone or not here is just a little insight to real life with the Hanai crew, thankfully the story has a happy ending! 🐸 😵

Our Blenheim beauties (they are always together and it’s so sweet 💖)! Boy do I have a story coming about Miss Hoku 🫢 and one more week to see if we have news about Miss Kahana 🤫

Six weeks and so much fun! Everyone is lively, curious, friendly and oh so silly. From the sweet shy guy to the bold and beautiful and everything in between 😂 These Hawaiian Islands are such a smart litter, and for there being so many, they are doing excellent with their crate and potty training, being handled regularly, playing with the big dogs and overall just in instilling that happy demeanor that is so quintessential to this breed 🥰

Well… this is embarrassing 🫠

Today during a FaceTime puppy visit, I confidently introduced a family to…the WRONG PUPPY.

Like…confidently. I talked about her, showed them her little face, explained her personality and carried on as if I knew exactly what I was doing. 😂

And then they texted me afterward wanting to check which puppy it was 🙄

They were absolutely right to do so because I showed the wrong Blenheim girl 😭

I felt TERRIBLE.

Because I know these families are excitedly waiting to meet their puppy. They pay attention to the little details, learn their puppy’s markings and personality, and trust me to know exactly who is who.

So yes — I messed up.

I apologized, corrected it, and made sure they got the puppy visit they were actually supposed to have.

And honestly, this is one of the reasons I want to be open about the reality of running a small, home-based breeding program.

Behind the cute puppy pictures, there are also two very young children, dogs, laundry, meals, messages, FaceTime calls, and approximately 52 things happening at once. 😂

Sometimes the puppies are all doing their best impression of each other, someone needs a snack, someone is crying, the dogs are barking… and apparently my brain occasionally decides to clock out. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I am human.

That doesn’t mean I take what I do lightly. Quite the opposite.

I don’t want to pretend I’m a breeder who never makes a mistake. I want to be a breeder who owns her mistakes.

If I get something wrong, I want my families to feel comfortable telling me. I want to correct it, learn from it, and improve the systems I use so it happens less often.

Because transparency doesn’t mean only showing when “I’ve got this”. It means being honest when I don’t.

So today’s lesson:

DOUBLE-CHECK THE PUPPY BEFORE YOU START THE FACETIME. 😂

Noted. VERY noted.

And to the family who caught my mistake — thank you for being gracious about it. ❤️

I love my puppies.
I love my families.
And I take the responsibility they place in me seriously.

But apparently I’m not above showing someone the wrong puppy 😂

Welcome to real life at Hanai Cavaliers. 😅🐶
