It's raining again. I just got the crew brushed and yep it is raining yet again. Oh, we need the rain. But does that add to the amount of grooming - heh.

Some havanese adore the rain. Others lift up their feet going oooh it's wet out there Mommy. But you can get them past this by slow conditioning. Yep that word(s) again. Just take them out and plunk them in the middle of the grass so they go. It means you have to go out in the rain too but I am a firm believer that you don't just open the door and let them out. I want to know if they are getting into something or they have bowel issues or... you get the idea.

So we take our dawgs out in rain, snow, sunshine or even windy storms. It just means more drying and brushing out.

Our crew has spent a great deal of time hanging out today. Just like humans, I think the rain brings on this lazy attitude - the desire to just be and that's okay at times. Something about a recliner and draping their bodies all over you that make me feel good and them. They usually vy for the spot they want. It's a riot. It's almost s if I have a new coat.

Dawgs - well they are wonderful! They warm your heart when it is aching and make you smile when you think you want to cry. It's as if they posses magic. It's rather nice!
