Talemaker Havanese Crew Adventures

Hey - I have my first show next weekend and daddy needs to work with me today. Daddy is worried that Chico may ruin my coat but I like to play. We have to figure out a balance and still leave me staying beautiful. Got any ideas?

This is the first day Chico is without his cone head and he isn't going after the staples. A couple of more days and he gets to get them out. This is also his last day for his antibiotic. We can't wait to bathe him as he really needs it.

Let's see how things have changed. We have a neighbour dog that barks all the time and Chico is 98% listening to the 'no bark' on first command. Bravo! He comes 99% of the time now - another bravo. He is getting used to the grooming even though we can only just brush and comb him thus far.

As you can see in this photo, Sebastian and Katsuro are getting along famously. So is Chico and Katsuro.

He loves playing the run-like-hell game with them especially if there is mud close by so they can get rather ragged looking.

Sebastian goes home Monday and we are going to wait till then to bathe him. He's already had one bath here but we want him extra handsome and and that's tough to do with our yard till things grow in.

Well Coach and Sassy are coming over to play so we can't wait to see how that mixes things up around this place.

Remember you can click on any of the photos to see a larger view.

Fiona likes to get down and dirty too and she has such a mischievous side to her. She takes advantage of her small body to hide in nooks and crannies and then jumps out and pounces at the rest.

Fiona is a really fun lovin' dog and so is Abigail. They just add something special to our mix and we love it!

Although Fiona can't keep up with the older pups, she surely gets creative to get the advantage when playing. It's so funny to watch.

Here you can see her huddled under the plant and everyone else is too large to get to her. No - she is not afraid in the least but rather enjoying the game of hide but you can't catch me.

She even has Katsuro playing much more too due to that side of her. She had Chico going the other night where she jumped out of a window on a toy we had and then he looked around as if to say - where are you and she would do it only when he turned his head. It was a riot. Both were playing thinking and solution games.

Fiona gets to see her sister Coco again tomorrow and Downsey. I bet she is going to be really excited.
