Taking Care of Hair

I call this the Joker look - for any of you Batman fans - you know what I mean.

Many Havanese eat with their whole entire face. Kat is one and to be gross about it - when gals are in heat - he sniffs and puts his face in their rump. Intact males do this when females are in heat. Those of you that don't have this wonderful situation do not need to worry 'cept for the eating with one's food thing.

There are things you can do. Wash the face with a face rag with waterless shampoo after each meal and comb through or put the face up like this every meal. Or you could get a snood or cut the hair shorter and not worry. If the face is dark and/or you like the shorter look -you probably won't think about it.

I just like to give tips as I learn and with Kat - he's still being shown for fun so a bit extra care has to go into his hair. He has a show on Thursday. He got washed this morning. He will also get washed late Tuesday night and so will Treasure but they will get oiled this time not next.

Missy is here till late Friday night. She arrived this morning and brought us a scrumptious breakfast cake. Yum!

Missy was already all over the backyard investigating and now she is playing up a storm.

Missy is such a delight to have around. She's our - jump up on the most amazing high things gal.

She should be doing agility. heh

Missy is finding the fun in Jay Jay at the moment.

Jay Jay our other visitor always has this look on his face. He is playing so much that we have to give him some rest at times. I believe he is Teddy's equal in the Everready play department. His fave playmate has been Abigail and at times Kat and now Missy. It's a delight to watch.

More later.>>
