Visitors Going Home

We just had Chico, Jasper and Rufus go home today. Below you will find photos of them freshly bathed. It was a chore to keep thiscrew clean after a bath as they wanted to play and play and play. I think I brushed Chico and Jasper 3 times, hehehe

Wait till you see the photos of Daisy with ahem black feet but they play Mommy and have so much fun and she wil be clean by the time you see her.

WE ARe true dawg people and don't worry about dirty feet til you see them. Oh we brush and rinse feet off etc but they do have fun!

Tomorrow we have Tiger Lily and Scout leaving us and Sunday Daisy. Life is changing but soon we will have Jay, and Cesar join us and Remy will remain till the end of the month. Zack and Coco go home early next week.

We were blessed with being able to capture different dawgs doing different things today. Mostly it was Nathan. I got a few too. But check them out and today's title is visitors going home.

No Sunny Havanese Day

Out in the RainWell Saki came today for an overnighter and goes home tomorrow. Marlee and Jazmyn will be heading home tomorrow as well. The rest of the crew will be hanging around for a bit and hopefully the sun will shine. hehehe They say not till Monday or Tuesday.

Due to boarders and puppies, we were unable to go to the Purina National to watch Fiona's daughter show for her first time. She just turned 6 months and got reserve today. We are excited! Nathan will be heading there tomorrow to watch and take Kit Kat and Val and her crew home.

You should drop by the show tomorrow to watch the Havanese. Read all about the show on our events page.

I will be holding down the fort with our son.

The crew is really bonding. Scout can be caught jumping on Towser. Scout's a small puppy and Towsers bigger so it is way fun to watch. It was Scout that persisted and Towser finally complied.

Check out today's photos on the boarders and visitors photo page.

You will see Saki and her siblings - yes we have 3 siblings here. Plus the rest of the crew.

Towser is such a funny bandit. He can grab something from our son and then look at him as if to say - who me?

Lots of funny stories today but I got to get back to the crew. Just know they are all having a swimmingly wet time. Everyone gets groomed but the photos don't look that way. In, out, wet, dry, wet, dry and on and on it goes. It took me a long time to get everyone done as when I was halfway through they were wet and muddy again. All you can do is laugh and laugh and we do.

But I have to say, where is that sun?

In and Out Havanese Moments

Hey, what about us?There's something about a pack of Havanese. Do they ever get in synch? In out, in out, in, out. You yell, outside, outside and half the pack comes then you go back for the stragglers and then even more stragglers and then you say - well if you aren't coming then you mustn't want to go out but they do on THEIR time. hehehehe

When it's our pack we don't play that game. You snooze you lose or so they say but we look at those faces and one of us says - okay let them out. We are sucks. We really try to make our lives easier but dawgs are dawgs and they beat to their own drum always it seems.

Have you ever had a group of teenagers agree on anything? Well, there you have it... a group of Havanese can't either unless it's so inviting they can't live without it.

Check out today's photos. There's not many as I am under the weather. I can't shake it but I am trying...soup and meds and yes I have to go out and take photos and wash dogs. But I will get there.

Tia, Sydney, Coco and Zack went home today. 4 in one day...wow does that change a house. Then Weaver came when Tia was leaving.

We are all sitting around, Nathan draped in dawgs, me with a couple typing watching the game. Yeah Canada hockey ...sorry US. The dawgs are snoozing after I took them out a few times running and playing. It's slush out there. <sigh> Lots of dawgs to dry.

Nathan got in a mini nap oh about 15 minutes that he sorely needed. The boys were playing up a storm all night but we are hoping for sleep tonight. Time will tell.

Jay is settling in and sleeping and Charlie still wants to entice everyone to play all night. Boys... what can I say. They all eventually get over the excitement. That's what it is. They have to get that sleep is required too.

Jay is smitten with Treasure. I do believe he believes she's the gal for him. Jasper is a kisser trying to woo all the gals and Charlie just wants to play and play and so does Weaver. What a boys week we wil have.

But the gals think they rule but we shall see.... Now back to the hockey game.
