Readers of this site will know that I refer to Cath as “Mama”, which she doesn’t like that much but still that’s what I call her. She wonders why her husband is the “Prince” while she’s Mama. Shouldn’t she be “Princess?”   Well, I can’t really explain it. I guess it’s because I love her so much, just like she’s my mother. Which reminded me that you might like to see my real mom, who is Peaches. Her picture is below.  She’s so cute and she taught me just about everything I know about being a Havanese.  Even though I do miss Peaches, I love my human mom very much. I spend most of every day with her, usually snoozing in my basket or on the floor, doing an occasional mad dash around the office for a little exercise.  We really have a good time together.     

Go and take a look at Peaches’ new and improved website, briarcliffhavanese.com. You can take a look at my Uncle Jack, who’s a big-time champion. He’s brought a lot of honor into our family! 

The Prince and I went over to Grandma’s house today for a visit.  Of course I barked my head off when I got there because I just love going over to Grandma’s house.  We went for a walk and then took Grandma out for ice cream.  Here’s a photo of me in the car.  The Prince snapped this photo of me in the side mirror of the car. You can see the camera at the upper right. 

I just love riding in the car, especially with the window open. Now I know there are those who say that it’s not safe for dogs to stick their head out the window, but I say “Pshaw!” (I think I am channeling the Prince’s grandfather with that quote.) Anyway, I have a pair of goggles that I wear when I’m sticking my head out the window at more than, say, 35 MPH. Anything under that really is not an issue, despite what the behavior police say.  You know, in Cuba they don’t have that kind of nanny state. It’s a different kind of nanny state where if you say the wrong thing they will put you in jail for twenty or thirty years, but they won’t bother you for riding in the car without a seatbelt. (BTW, I heard there is a bill pending in the California legislature that would outlaw having a dog in your lap when you are driving, and THAT is the best example I have ever seen as to why the California legislators should be a part-time and unpaid. REALLY, don’t they have anything better to do than persecute poor dogs like me?)  But I digress.  Here’s a photo of Grandma at the ice cream store. Cute!   The Prince is getting better at taking pictures under my tutelage.
