Missing Daddy & Yvonne's Pics

UPDATE: Photos From Yvonne's With Pups and More are In. Even got Wasabi playing with pups and Katsuro Wooing Maggie. Check Them Out Here.

Now back to Wasabi's adventures...in getting ready for Havanese motherhood!

It's rather pathetic - me sitting at the front door waiting for daddy. I had a really long day yesterday. I did eat well this morning but visiting all those cute puppies was exhausting.

With daddy working a trade show till Tuesday night, I have a feeling it will be eat what I give you or else.

Mommy did make a chicken stew with veggies, pieces of prime rib - huh chicken stew with prime rib. Hmm - I think she's giving me the slop - the leftovers - my oh my. Now mommy, I thought I was the light of your life -that really special one. She whispers to me so the others do not hear - but you are! Oh not enough to make the others jealous. Mommy reminds me she has had lots of human kids and everyone thought the other was loved the best. It's the nature of the child and she believes the nature of the canine pack - she says we all count and I guess we do. She makes sure we always have special moments and hey she now carries me upstairs at night as I look at her with those gorgeous eyes saying - are you going to make me climb those stairs? Still, she makes me walk and I rather do love it even though I don't realize it lately till I get out there.

I am hoping mommy goes swimming with us now that I am brushed. She may create a frame with lots of photos for the whelping room. Mommy and daddy are even trying to figure out what to do with the desk in there so they can open the bed and daddy can sleep in the room with me that first week. This way I can be in comfort too. I rather like that and besides, the couch closed up is okay but nothing like a big bed to spread out on and still look down at the pups in case they need me.

Well, we finished Yvonne's puppy pictures let us know if you like them. Much work but worth it to share!

Summer's Winding Down

Well, soon the pool will be closed. I thought it was today. Seeing it was so warm, I wasn't going to let my pack mate, Katsuro have all the fun. I decided to go in as well.

Sure he gets way crazy when daddy puts on his suit but I have my own way of showing excitement and I don't need a suit. If you got it, flaunt it, I say!

Boy, it was refreshing and sure helps shift the weight around. I am going to miss the pool but when that safety cover goes on, well, we all love to run across it like it is a trampoline. Daddy often has to go out on it himself to retrieve one toy or another.

Mommy has yet to brush me as I also have one of those coats that hardly knots.

Okay, that was mom's cue to brush me and pregnancy does a body good or how does that go? Not a single knot and I was almost dry. Katsuro was the same.

Pool guys came to close the pool for the winter and Daddy said come back next week. We are celebrating. We can handle one more week of that. Risa got pool time when she was preggie and loved it at the end. Me, I get the cover at the end.

Here I am after my swim waiting for my chair - well it's daddy's chair and Katsuro has the audacity to get up on it, shake all over it and get it totally soaking. It's bad enough that he makes sure daddy doesn't have a dry chair but I am the one that is supposed to have special treatment.

Well see who gets the fresh burger tonight and you expect me to share it? You didn't think you could get my chair and burger too, did you?

Okay - maybe I will share a little bit...we shall see.

Buster Visits Wasabi's Blog

Well little lady Wasabi, what was I -R'Gang's Buster At Rockhurst- a fleeting stop in your life? I came to see your lovely face and what – not a single mention of me. My nose is out of joint!

We made beautiful magic together and that's not all we made together! You just wait till mid-October to see I don't just love them and leave them with nothing.

We are going to have amazing pups - the best - you just wait!

The rumour is out that we are going to have six little darlings. I best get a ton of photos. It's the least you can do, don't you know!

Well my mom, Beth Obrecht is telling me I am spending too much time reading your site. Maybe she's telling herself - not again!

It's okay mom. I haven't convinced Sonrisas' Hot N Spicy Wasabi (oh, I just love that name) to run away with me. She rather likes it at her place where her packmates, Whitney, Terra, Risa, Shoshi and Katsuro would be more than miffed if she decided to go anywhere but at her home!

I've Got Their Number

Daddy and Mom took me to the vet to see if I have pups coming soon. Until then, I was just getting my food and if I felt like not eating, well they would feed me next time.

Well now that they know, well am I eating good or what. They give me the very best and feed me all sorts of foods - different each day or I won't eat. Oh, do I have it good and do I have them wrapped around my paw.

They think I am a finicky eater but in reality it's all about what they feed me. I am no junkyard dawg! I only like the very best!

Rita and Willard came to pick up their Mojo and Opal. I am going to miss them - sniff! Life is good and I am lazing after eating all that great food Rita and Willard got for lunch.

Mom gave Shoshi, Katsuro, Opal and Mojo a bath today. I overheard her telling dad that I am getting mine tomorrow with Risa. I think tomorrow is my day to stay incognito.

As I said - a gal has to do what a gal has to do.

Day 36 and counting. I got to play with Rita and Willard's new pup today and am I going to have fun or what. I do love the pups.
