Milo and Hugo Arrive Tonight

Is that cool or what? We or shall I say Daisy and our crew will be having a rip roaring time tonight and exhaustion will be the norm as they are all play monkeys in a big way. Then when they go home, Charlie arrives on the 16th. So, the fun will continue.

Charlie will be here when pups start going home. It happens way too fast but we look forward to them playing with Charlie.

It seems way too quiet around here after the Xmas month.  

Wet Havanese Times

This was the 3 stooges - ahem Havanese that got sopping wet before they got groomed today. We had rain last night so where there are puddles some dawgs will go.

I say some as our Shoshi gets her feet wet and goes eeew and then turns around to come back inside. Sometimes she will sniff the air and say that weather is not for me but she does adore the snow, Funny how rain doesn't float her boat, so to speak.

Havanese are very intelligent. They can also be mischievous looking for that one puddle or wlking completely around it. Each have their own likes and dislikes and it all unfolds as they develop.

With our pups, at least for now, I do not see any issues with rain. They embrace it as this trio does.

These are Dawg Daze

Every now and then there are such days as these where it rains. You go out, you play and then play inside. Treasure doesn't get the rain and would rather play outside non-stop. We do so when the weather is good but when it isn't, we do running sessions in the house getting the various toys and all sorts of things but still, she's like some of us humans that just embrace the outside.

Tonight she is excited as we have Daisy that just arrived, and Saki and Tia that go home tomorrow. Treasure will have Daisy all to herself well not if Abigail will have her way but you get the idea. Then Hugo and Milo come before Daisy goes home and then she will really have a full out and out workout. A bath she will need.

Tomorrow, bright and early Saki and Tia will get baths so they are going home nice and fresh. It's been a rather muddy visit. We are sort of dawg conditioned, don't ya know!

More tomorrow...

PS: no photos today as Nathan had the camera with him. Blame him ROFL!

Big and Little Havanese Play

Saki and Tia are truly enjoying the puppies and they are also enjoying Abigail who found her play again with the big guys, Treasure and Shoshi. Fiona even joined in a little today.

We truly didn't get enough time outside as I was (am) under the weather but we made the most of times inbetween rain and had fun inside.

Check today's photos out on the visitors and boarding photo page. Here you will also see some with the pups.

Saki Joins Us

I do not have photos to share but I should. I will tomorrow. Saki burst into the scene and Tia has been playing with her non-stop and when not playing with each other - well they are playing with the pups.

What I did notice is Saki is the fastest dog I ever did see. I swear she is faster than Wasabi.

Instead of taking photos, we just watched and played and well that's okay too.

Tomorrow we will have photos - I promise - maybe video of Saki and Tia running.

Havanese Play

Tia is visiting and she has been having a ton of fun with Treasure, Shoshi and Abigail. Yep, Abigail is back playing up a storm again and it is so nice to see.

This is a repeat visit for Tia and she fits in here so well. She gets her snuggles, her play and even doesn't mind the daily grooming.

Her mom suggested I wash her early as she was a tad dirty but I just used a waterless bath. This way when she goes home, she will be fresh and snuggable.

Saki comes tomorrow so I bet these two will play up a storm. Then Daisy will be coming before this duo goes home so it will be a real fun Sunday for sure.

It's been quiet enough for what seems too long. Catch the action this weekend here. We wil be telling you all about it!

Havanese Hair Tips Video

 Treasure was bathed today and we took a video of it. It's a bloody half hour video. My apologies but if you are interested, we will be uploading it. I only show one method with various tips that I have learned. Realize there are other ways to take care of a long coat too but I tried to show you what I do for her hair. Sometimes I mix it up with her and use various products and methods including Show Sheen in the tub but now to find a site that can handle the size.

Our puppy owners will have to get it burned on DVD. :-) .

Tia is visiting us tomorrow again. We are so excited. Watch for news on the video tomorrow.

More Photos Added to Archie's Gallery

We got some more photos in Archie's gallery that show movement and his fun nature. Check them out.

Havanese Archie Comes to Visit

This is Archie's first visit for daycare and he has been playing with Abigail, Treasure and Fiona. He has also got acquainted with the puppies but he's not totally sure what to make of them when they run in unison around him wanting to play.

He's sniffed and touch noses but as most larger dogs are that haven't had experience with the real small set, he is doing a wait and watch and see.

If you want to see what he is doing today, check out today's photos that I uploaded so his parents could see that he's truly enjoying his time here.

Look here.

Bad Hair Day: Havanese Mothers

We love our Abigail. But puppies really wreck havoc on ones hair. That's okay. It will grow back.

If you want to see a larger photo of Abigail, just click on the photo.

Today I meant to wash Treasure but it looks like I will do that on Tuesday and I will try to take a video so you can see how I groom.

Now this depends on how well Nathan can video tape me or rather Treasure. If he/I find the time. The goal is to show you how I take knots out and wash and blow dry. We will see if I can actually turn this into a reality. I promise not to brush her tomorrow in hopes I have some knots to work with. Her hair is rather dirty so maybe this siesta from grooming on just her will work. Tuesday will tell.

Today was rather gloomy but we got to go out and about.

Tomorrow we have Archie coming for the day for daycare. We are looking forward to it. More tomorrow.

I think we are going to have rain...
