Bailey Takes a Walk Downtown

Bailey takes a walk downtown today. Before we got there Bailey had to take a ride in his crate in the car. He barked and barked. He wanted to get out of the crate so bad.

Bailey really enjoyed his walk going by all the shops and people. He seemed like a real pro at it. As we were walking by an older couple at an outdoor café the gentleman had comment to his companion, "Now there is a happy dog".

Why Bailey is a happy dog. He always seems to have a smile on his face. He is available for adoption at http://www.havanesefanciers.com/rescue/

Bailey Meets the Cat

Bailey meet the cat. At first he was very scared. I don't know if this was Bailey's first time meeting a cat or not. He barked and barked at the Cat. The Cat took it in stride like he does with most everything else. After a while Bailey calmed down a bit and was then curious about the Cat.

The Cat was not curious about him.

Bailey went from non-stop barking to non-stop tail wagging. The Cat had enough and deemed Bailey not worthy of his presence. Don't take this to heart Bailey-boy, the Cat doesn't think anyone is worthy. I think he has world domination issues.

Bailey is a rescue Havanese, inquiry at HFC Rescue Adoption Opprotunties

Meet Bailey


This cutie-pie is named Bailey. Josie, Caillee, and I are helping to foster Bailey for a little while.

Bailey spent his first night with us last night. He was getting along with Josie and Caillee. Didn't think much of my husband but eventually warmed up to him this morning before he left for work.

So far he is being a good boy.

He is learning to build his confidence, and there can is more fun to be had by all when you don't use your teeth when playing.

Josie and Caillee Need Help to Name the New Pet Betta Fish


The previous owner of our house left behind two Red Betta Fish. One in each bathroom. Each was contained in a vase attached to the wall. We thought it was kind of neat that they did that but we weren't really expecting them to be left behind.

Josie, Caillee, and I have saved them from their almost toilet fate when I had expressed that I didn't really want them to a family member. They are here and I couldn't, wouldn't let them go unnaturally. That's just not right.

So now we have two red coloured Betta fish with no names. They need names. Anyone have any suggestions? Perhaps I should make this into a bit of a contest and with a small prize too . There are some possibilities here for a bit of fun, for sure.

Name the Betta Fish!

Old place is Spic and Span

We cleaned up our old place. Josie insisted that we do a good job. Mind you she really left everything to me and just pointed out all the areas that needed cleaning. Josie will sure miss the country side and all the open areas to run around in. Caillee doesn't care, she loves her air conditioning and I don't blame her - I do too in fact.

It will be nice to settle down after all this running around. Settle down, what does that mean?

We finally moved, seriously

We finally moved into our new place.

We prepped, prepped some more, and prepped again. Oh we even got to do painting after all that prepping.

We worked so hard to get all the walls near hardwood floors done before someone came in to refinish the hardwood floors. Through a series of miscommunication, no one came to do the hardwood floors.

Hardwood floors need to be done before the furnace and furnace should be done before the carpets. And so on it goes.

We were very fortunate to stay a few extra days at the place we were renting while we painted and got things ready for other people to work on things.

We will sleep our first night at our new home.

Poor Windy Caillee


Poor Caillee dear, while out on Josie Hill the wind was blowing up a storm. Well with all her hair, it just looked like a storm was brewing. Nope, it was just Caillee and all her hair.
