Yesterday was the 6 month anniversary of Tess becoming part of my
family. In celebration we had a Hav Pup Party! (3 people and
their Havs from the Havanese Forum). I wanted to send you a couple
of photos to see what a difference 6 months has made.
When I got her, Tess looked like a little squirrel. Carolyn and
Bob did a wonderful job with her and yet she still only weighed about 7
pounds. Her little hip bones and rib bones were sticking out and
she was afraid of everything (including me).
She's now a dainty, reserved, little Hav, weighing in at 11 pounds.
She still doesn't like to interact with many dogs or people but she
clearly enjoys life and isn't afraid to let you know what she wants.
She loves to go on walks, ride in the car, roll in the grass (especially
if there's something smelly!), and bark at everyone walking by the front
door.
While she'd tell you she'd prefer to be an only dog, she's very attached
to Cody (my 2-year old male, Coton de Tulear I adopted 7.5 months ago.)
She chases him through the house, nips at his butt, steals his chewie
and then hides under the table where he won't follow.

And the one with with pot of flowers is from today.
If you needed any encouragement, I hope these pictures let you know
you're doing a great thing.
Best Regards,
