Do You Like My Hair?

Today Daddy loaded me into the car to take me someplace new. When we got there, there were lots of other dogs and I found out I was going to get my first haircut. The ladies at the "Pawlor" were very nice and took good care of me. I had my hair washed and trimmed (now Mommy can see my big beautiful brown eyes, my nails cut and my ears cleaned. When Daddy came to pick me up, he bought me a new sweatshirt (Mommy says I will need it when it gets cold outside). I think I look pretty darn handsome.











By the way, this is Halloween. Mommy and Daddy tell me it is a holiday where kids dress up and go around and ask for Candy. I was so excited to see all of the kids. I wanted to play with them. But, Mommy and Daddy kept me on my leash so I wouldn't run away with the kids. Here I am waiting for the kids to come to the door!

A Big Week...

Daddy and I got to spend our first night by ourselves on Monday. Mommy was out of town on business (Mommy and I get to spend time together when Daddy is away on business.) Here I am with Mommy before she left on her trip...



But, Daddy got really sick. So, most of the time, I just slept with Daddy. I just wanted him to feel better.

Tuesday night, Daddy was feeling OK and took me to my first puppy class (he forgot the camera - but that is OK - he was really sick). I was scared at first, but by the end of the class, I had made several new friends (and learned a few new tricks).

But, today, by far, has been the most exciting day of my week. Mommy's friend Kira came to visit. She brought her daughter Katrina to play with me! Oh my goodness, I had a great time playing with her. And, she even brought me a new toy (an elephant). She said that she would come back and visit me soon! I can't wait.

My Visit to the Vet

Today, Mommy and Daddy took me to the Vet. I wanted to give you a quick update on how I am doing. Dr. Shannon said that I am great. I am in good health, my tear staining is normal(something Mommy is very concerned about)and my ears look good. Also, I have gained 2 pounds since the last time I was there. So, now I weigh 6.25 pounds. Oh, I also had to get a shot. I wasn't too crazy about it, but Mommy and Daddy said I did really well.

Here are a couple of photos from my visit!

What a Weekend...

Where do I begin. Yesterday morning, my Mom and Dad woke up very early. I was really confused. Not only was it earlier than they wake up during the work week, it was the weekend. Mom and Dad told me we had something we needed to do.

Mom and Dad told me we were going to Wabasha to go on a walk. I had never been to Wabasha. My Dad told me it is where Grandpa lives. He said we were walking in memory of my Grandma Carole. She passed away a few years ago. But, every year, Daddy's family gets together, and with Carole's friends and the community, to raise money for charity. So, I was really excited to go to Wabasha and meet Grandpa.

I didn't realize how far away Wabasha was. It was a really long car ride. I was really nervous at first. But, I eventually fell asleep. But, when I woke up, I didn't feel so good. I got sick. Mom said it was OK...Havanese, especially in their first year, get car sick. I was just scared that I got sick. But, Mommy took very good care of me.

Once we made it to Wabasha, Daddy gave me some water and food. I was good to go. Then, I got to meet my Grandpa. And, all of my nieces and nephews. Natalie, Ellie and Caroline were there (They came over to see me a few weeks ago.) Jacob and Sam were there (Brenton and Abby stayed home.) Madison was there with Dad's brother John (Matthew stayed home to play in his football game.) I also got to meet Kevin and Kori. I am very excited because Mommy tells me Kori is going to have a baby very soon. That means I will have one more friend to play with.

Anyways, we all went on a walk. Jacob wanted to walk with me - and hold me too - and I loved it. I was having a great time (and getting very dirty.) I also discovered lots of news things...leaves and ducks. The duck really confused me. I heard him quack and I stopped dead in my tracks. The duck quaked again and I looked at my Dad. You see, I have a duck toy at home - and I always chase after it. I really couldn't chase after the real duck!

Anyways, we finished walking and we went to Grandpa's house. Clyde (my cousin) and Jack were there. I have really not met other dogs (outside of my brothers and sisters) and I was scared. So, Ellie wanted to hold me and I said yes. She helped calm my nerves. Eventually, I warmed-up to Clyde.

But, it was time to go. I rode back in my crate all the way home. I was really tired and slept most of the way. But, I didn't get sick and I was really proud of myself.

When we got home, Mommy and Daddy realized they had forgotten to take pictures during the day. But, luckily Mommy took some pictures when she was home with me earlier this week. Here they are....

Gifts and more...

My Aunt Kristin is very nice. I haven't met her yet, but she sent me some nice gifts...a blanket to keep me warm (and to keep Mom's couch clean) and a new toy! Thank you, Aunt Kristin (and Eugene and Jackson too)!





On another note, I woke up this morning and hoped that it wouldn't be raining. You see, it has been raining for the past couple of days and I haven't been able to get outside to play with my friends (Carter and Connor across the street are so nice to me). To my dismay, it was raining again. But, when Mommy and Daddy got back from running their errands, the sun had come out and dried up all the rain. I was really excited because I knew Daddy would take me on a walk!





Mommy and Daddy took me out for another walk this evening. Mom didn't have the camera, but Carter and Connor's Mom did. She took a lot of pictures of me with the boys. I hope Mom is able to get a copy of the photos so I can share them with you.
