California we arrived

WE MADE IT TO CALIFORNIA

And in one piece and everything. The trip was pretty uneventful...thank goodness!! You might remember that one of these trips up and down the coast, we were robbed in Redding, after our truck was broken in to in the parking lot of our motel. They took ALL my jewelry I had made to sell for the summer. That was a bad day, I said a bad word. Ah well, in the past now! I got past it and this trip was great.

Maddie did not get car sick! Yeah. Probably because I had some medication to give her if she did! Ha ha. She did great, just a little trooper. We drove about 5 hours per day, with lots of potty stops along the way. WH is big on stopping whenever our girl bladders make a request!

So we get to our winter home, Maddie doesn't get it. There's all this grass, and a big fenced yard. Not as many eagles, crows, deer, stuff like that. And what is beauty bark, a palm tree, and lots of smelly things on bushes, like a flower? What's that all about? It took her a day, and she is in love with the place..way more real estate than she is used to getting, being very restricted at the cabin. So the potty training is starting ALL over again, yikes. So far only one accident. We're going to try the bell thing, like hanging bells at the door. So she can ring them if she wants to go out. I'll let you know how that works!!

Here is what a Havanese looks like after a bath!! She's a little thing, five pounds now, and long and skinny. Wouldn't know it when she's dry!

Is that a smile???

And here's what a DRY Hav looks like!! Here she is just before we left the cabin, such a big girl going up the doggie stairs to the couch. I'm thinking this little girls isn't spoiled??

What do you think? Is she going to have a good life, ha ha!!

Thanks guys, hugs, Riki
