    Hey, Everyone~
    My name is Patti and I live in Houston. I was blessed to own Toby (a handsome, sweet, loving havanese), but now we only have Gracie (our shih mix who we rescued from going to a pet store). I'm happy to be a part of this forum because I learn so much from this wonderful group of people. I've also got wonderful Facebook friends on here!

    HELLO everyone! I'm so excited and grateful to be here!

    About me: I'm Leslie. I'm a special education teacher who has a private practice after teaching for 17 years in the public system. I've been married to my best friend for 36 years. We have 2 grown children and six grandchildren (ages 16 to 5 weeks) My loves are Havanese, my grandchildren, reading, RVing, serving Jesus, and working with struggling students.

    About Tori: Tori is our 2nd Neezer. (We lost our sweet Shadow nearly 3 years ago.) Tori just turned 3 years old. She is a therapy dog who loves children. Although, we don't get to participate often in our local library's "Read to Rover" program because of my work schedule, she does get to read with my students regularly.

    She is a very smart and talented little thing, too. Her "tricks" include: come, wait, stay, sit, down, dance, "bang!" (play dead), shake (hand/paw), roll over, wave bye-bye, speak, quiet (still a work in progress), leave it, drop it, touch (with her nose) and jump (through my arms).

    Tori is definitely my heart dog.

    Well this is just lovely! What a nice place. Thanks to everyone who put this together so quickly and seamlessly.

    I am Meghan, Lily's Mom. We live in Boston, although I grew up in the midwest. I love to read, knit, cook and bake, and spend time with Lily. She is 16 months old, and an absolute joy. This fall she is going to take her Canine Good Citizen test and hopefully she will be on the path to becoming a Therapy Dog, then who knows, maybe some rally or agility? :puppeh:

    Love My Lily.

    Can I just say I wasted way too much time on here today? which I believe to be the highest compliment of the new site. Great to see old friends and some new faces (to me) as well.

    Hooray and THANK YOU to Lina and anyone/everyone who was involved in creating this site. And thanks Amanda for passing along the link....who knew!

    I was Murphy's Mom on HF, but have not been there for awhile. I live in Seattle with my partner Vicky and our two beautiful Bellatak boys, Jonah and Riley. They are the light of our lives. We take them camping or boating almost every weekend in the summer, dog school and agility more in the winter. I can't wait to catch up with everyone!

    Hi Friends!

    About Me: I'm Natalie! I'm 26 years old, originally from beautiful Vancouver, Canada, now living in Miami, Florida with my boyfriend of four years, Tim and our two Havs, Roscoe and Stella! Tim and I are both students, I am a third year undergraduate student in economics, he is a third year medical student. He never had a dog before we got Roscoe, but he learned fast and is a great dog daddy! I am (very) addicted to watching HGTV, I love to cook and bake, and I really miss living in Vancouver.

    About the Dogs: I have two wonderful Havs, Roscoe and Stella, otherwise known as "The Fluffs". Roscoe is 10 months old, and Stella is 6 months. They are my little joys! I adore them, they are such little clowns and brighten my day no matter what. I also "share" Maddie, my 5 year-old Hav with my mom. Before I moved away, I lived at home with my mom, and when I moved I couldn't bare to take Maddie away from her as well. I miss my Babyface Girl (her nickname) every day! She was MY first dog, and she will always hold a very special place in my heart. I can't wait to see her in October!

    Roscoe came to us in November of last year. I waited a year for his litter and cried like a baby when he was born. I cried every time I saw a new puppy photo of him, and of course I bawled my eyes out the day we picked him up. He is definitely my heart dog. He earned his CGC in June, and I am so proud of my little man! He is fairly independent, but follows me to the bathroom no matter what, lol! He loves to curl up at my feet when I'm sitting on the couch or relaxing in bed. But he has his needy moments. Almost every morning he begs to sit in my lap while I eat breakfast, but he never begs for food. He is not a big kisser, but every time I come home he smothers me with kisses. Every now and then, he will just jump up on the couch beside me and give me a couple little licks on the cheek. He is my sweet boy!

    Stella became a member of our family in May. We had originally intended on adopting an HRI rescue, but Roscoe's breeder had Stella available from a litter she co-bred. Stella's mom had some health issues during her pregnancy, had to deliver the puppies by emergency c-section, and the pups had to be bottle raised on formula. Consequently, Stella and some of her littermates developed nutritional cataracts. Instead of getting a traditional rescue, we got Stella, otherwise known as Stella Baby and Muffin Girl! She is the biggest sweetie pie - loves to give kisses, loves cuddles, will curl up in your lap, constantly wants to be picked up, and loves to steal toys from Roscoe!

    I just want to say THANKS to everyone involved in setting up this forum!

    Hi all,
    I don't know if I'm in the right place to introduce myself, I've never been on this type of forum before. I will assume I am in the right place so here I go. My name is Valerie. I live in San Saba, Texas (the pecan capital of the world). I have 3 havs: Buster, Quinn and Lupita. I also have 2 jack Russell terrors named Minnie and Ann Margaret and a border collie/blue heeler cross named Flash. I'm looking forward to learning lots of new things about dogs on this site.

    Hi Everyone! I'm Jenn and for the moment I live in Kansas. We are a military family and we move a lot! I have 2 neezers and 2 tzus along with my 2 young daughters(Abby-5yrs and Sadie-2yrs) and my wonderful Husband. I'm actually from Southeast Georgia and my Husband was born in Charleston, SC. Before I was married and had children I was a full time Vet Tech. I stay at home with my children and dogs these days. I first was introduced to the Havanese breed through dog shows, and well the rest is history :wub:

    In age order:

    Harry- My oldest Shih Tzu. He is extremely sophisticated, hates wet grass in the morning and loves only one toy, MR. BEAR. He is 6yrs old and an irish pied.

    Brodie- 5yr old Shih Tzu, loves to play with any toys, loves kids and FOOD. He is White with some black markings.

    Izzy(Isabel)- My First Neezer, she's 1.5yrs old, born on Halloween, she's cream with some silvering, definitely a DADDY'S GIRL.

    Fergus- My second neezer, 6 months old, LOVES his mama, has an affinity for toilet paper, loves to pose for photo sessions, and steal little kids toys.

    So that's us in a nut shell, nice to meet y'all and re-meet others, I think this is going to be a GREAT place!!

    Jenn- Mom to Izzy, Fergus, Harry, and Brodie
