Here are some photos I took the other day of the five Havanese in my life. Maxi’s puppy, Digger, (formerly Burst) lives with my daughter on the weekends and with me during the week so he doesn’t have to be cooped up while she’s at work. Lily is the girl I bought from Kathy Ambler. And, of course, Phoebe, Maxi and Marli are my older girls.
For those who may not remember, Boomer was one of the two puppies I had to bottle feed because he was so small. Not so anymore!!! Here is a report and photos from his new family.
Hi Jacqui!
I wanted to give you a little update on Jackson (aka Boomer)! He is doing GREAT! We can’t believe we got so lucky to have such a good little puppy!
He is growing so much and at his last Vet visit weighed in at about 4.5 lbs! He has completely adjusted to the routine at our house and has even learned a few little tricks!
His latest is ringing the bell at the back door everytime he needs to take a potty break outside (Yea! No more accidents in the house!) Right off the bat we were able to teach him to fetch (his favorite game to play) and last week he learned to “sit” and “shake” on command! He can follow with the leash and is learning to stay in the yard… Such a smart boy!
Our favorite time with him is after Logan goes to bed and he gets some quiet couch time with Joel and I and lot’s of extra snuggles….
He’s so sweet and loves to play… doesn’t chew on much (other than his toys) and is definitely my little shadow during the day when it’s just him and I. Everyone who meets him is smitten and I’ve passed out your website/blog to a few people like us who may be looking for a puppy in the future!
We are so happy with him!
Hope everything is going well,
Enjoy the pictures!

Well, she is still doing great. Had a perfect visit to the vet today. Barely even barked at the shot she got. The vet used to live in Michigan and volunteered with the Havanese Rescue Society. He was so happy to see her as he says we just don’t see this type of dog around here. That made me feel good that he was so familiar with the breed.
She weighed 3.1 pounds so is definitely growing. We go back in a month again for more shots.
She loves to run and play several times a day and then sleeps like a baby after. She has slept through the night once but usually gets up once or twice still. Not too bad. She goes right back to sleep with no issues after she wakes.
I haven’t taken any pictures at the winery yet but here are a couple from our house.
She is a precious little girl. | have completely fallen in love with her. My husband who grew up with larger farm dogs plays with her all night when he gets home from work. She really likes him and goes nuts when he gets home.
We are having 6 people over tomorrow for a birthday party so we will see how she does with so many around her.
Will update more later.

Hi Jacqui,
I just wanted to let you know we made it home without incident. He let me know every time he needed to potty or eat, so we had no accidents in the car. 🙂 He has completely stolen my heart!! Tommy won’t admit it, but he is falling hard for him also! We are about 95% sure his name is going to be Oliver. (My note: his name actually became Parker!) He is adjusting quite well. He has been eating and drinking just fine, and only woke up twice through the night. Marley is spending a couple days at the sitters so Oliver can get use to his surroundings before the big introduction. I’ll let you know how things go. I will send pictures soon. Can I send them to your phone or do you prefer e-mail? Take care, and again, thank you so much for everything.

Hi Jacqui,
We picked Marley up yesterday from the sitters and the initial meeting went well. We are settling in to somewhat of a routine. We had a couple moments where Marley needed a little space at first, but he’s been loosening up as time goes on. He started to run and play with Parker at one point last night, but then decided he wasn’t quite ready and jumped up on the couch to get away. Then this morning, Marley has been picking up a toy, then brings it in the vicinity of Parker and drops it, to let him play with it. He doesn’t engage with Parker when he does this, but it’s clear he’s letting him have the toy. Also, today he started to let Parker lick his face but then backed off again…slow but sure. I will keep you posted on the progress, I’m sure it’s only a matter of time and they will be best buddies! Take care, Teresa
