Arrival Story: I knew I wanted a pet dog, I found my love for dogs while fostering some puppies over the summer. I was invited to a huge dog show by someone who was also a foster at the rescue and at the show I bought a "Dog Breed Bible" from a book vendor. When I got home I looked through every single page and noted which dogs I liked. I was limited in choices since my little sister is allergic to dog fur but that didn't stop me! I had never heard about a Havanese until I saw the picture and my mom & I agreed they were really cute dogs! I did tons of research and determined that a Havanese would be a good choice for my lifestyle. I was planning on getting a puppy from a breeder but one day I was feeling depressed so my mom drove me to a local pet store to pet some puppies (good therapy for me!) and huddled in the corner of the pen among the yorkies, chihuahuas, papillons, and poms was a little teddy bear-looking dog. I walked over and started to pet him then asked what breed he was. Sure enough he was a Havanoodle and I had to have him, he was perfect! I went home and begged my parents, while I was at school the next day my mom put "Bo" on hold and we got him that Monday! Bio: Bo has completed these classes at our local AKC branch: Beginning Obedience, Novice Obedience. He is training at home in agility and is doing great!

I am no longer going to update my dogster journal so if you would like some great, recent updates with loads of pictures and videos please visit my blog.
As some of you may know I had surgery for patellar luxation on Friday, April 3rd (2009). The surgery was on both my back legs. I'm home now but I'm not feeling so good. I am on medication 3 times a day, I have to take a pill and some gross oral medication mom squirts in my mouth...YUCK! Anyway I can walk sort of... I hobble around a little bit now. Mostly I am just chilling out in my bed and getting some rest so I recover quick. I can start going on walks in 1-2 weeks and then in 5-6 weeks I can run and jump around! Hopefully all will go well!
