Another Melting Havanese Day

Jay With Weaver, Treasure Looks OnOkay, the Havanese are not melting. It's the snow but I assume you 'get' what I mean. I am still sick. Aren't you bloody sick of hearing THAT? I sure am.

I am grooming all of the dogs. Jasper wasn't crazy over his arm pits and Weaver finally got the idea that he gets a treat at the end and has started coming to me each day when I start getting my tools ready. Or maybe it's the mini massages I give. I sure could use one. hahahaha

Well, I promised photos as I wasn't up to it and I wasn't up to it today either. Sorry but Nathan took some photos. I have a few mixed in but the majority are his. We are a team. (Nathan here: If we are a team, how come she's apologizing for me taking the pictures?) Our son pitches in with the daily walks. Nathan took photos and his usual games and poo patrol and snuggling. Me, I did the grooming, snuggling, playing as much retrieve as I could till the head was saturated with sweat.

We also had puppy people visitors and I was unable to meet them as no one should get this. Usually if I am upstairs I can hear every sound but almost 3 hours later I woke from a sound sleep and didn't hear a thing. I guess my body needed it. I am hoping with this sweating that the crud is leaving me so I can go back to feeling alive. I need to feel alive for the dawgs and besides we have puppies coming.

Everyone is bonding and enjoying each other. Relationships develop, change and evolve. The group is really starting to mesh. Charlie is no longer jumping on my chest when I am on the recliner but sits looking at me and when he does, I pick him up and snuggle and he settles in for a snuggle/snooze. Positive reward for the right behavior.

The crew enjoyed the company, the play and are now all resting after eating. Weaver is still not crazy about his dental food but we are being creative getting him to eat it.
