Yesterday, mi little amiga Coco came to stay at mi casa while Coco Momi and Popi go to "happy hour" in town. I don't understand peoples happy hour. Why are peoples only happy for one hour? I think I am like most Havanese doggies, I am happy all the time except when Momi Popi leave me alone once in a while. Why aren't peoples more like Havanese, happy all the time? Well Coco Momi and Popi were gone for over two hours, so I guess they are learning to be happy for more than just one hour at a time. I guess you can teach old peoples new tricks!

Coco only 12 weeks old Chocolate Hav and she doesn't have a lot of experience yet. We have two steps down into our sala (living room) and Coco afraid to go down those two steps. She would stand at the top with her legs shaking while she was getting the courage to go down two steps. I don't bother going up and down the steps, I just fly in one leap either way. Well Popi was very gentle with Coco and encouraging her to go down the steps with doggie treat. Hey Popi, look at me, where is my treat for flying up and down? So Popi give me a little treat :croc: oh, sorry about your hand Popi. Well pretty soon Coco is going up and down the steps, one at a time with her little short legs. Then she likes going up and down the steps again and again, over and over. She thinks that is mucho fun! Then I teach Coco how to play a little ruff house and RLH. Coco learns quick because she steals my Kong and then RLH to keep it away from me :suspicious: around the coffee table we go, and then up the steps and down the steps. She is learning way too quick!

Coco is trained to go on newspaper. Well, after all the play, Coco have to take a dumparonie. She puts her front paws on the newspaper, but.......Hey Coco, your back end is hanging OFF the newspaper...........too late! :pound:

Well the two hours ended way to quick for Coco and me. Then Coco Momi Popi come and pick her up, all happy :suspicious:

Coco and me make an agreement that we going to meet this afternoon on the big lawn in front of mi casa for more playdate. I hope all the peoples will still be happy!

besos, Ricky Ricardo

Mi Loca Vida just gets more Loca every day!

This morning mi Momi and Popi took our daily one hour walk onto the golf course and then up into the mountains. Well on the way back, we ran into some golfers on the 8th fairway and we had to hide behind a cactus to stay out of their way. MALE DOGGIE AMIGOS.....NEVER, NEVER, NEVER LIFT YOUR LEG ON A PRICKLY CACTUS. YOU WILL BE FOREVER SORRY!!!!!!
:jaw:
Then I went out to breakfast with Momi and Popi at Resturante La Fonda. At the restaurant I met the owner's little senorita daughter, 5 year old Desi. She became mi new best friend when she started feeding mi little pieces of potato and scrambled egg. Here is photo:

Glass in front of mi is Popi's Liquado de Fraises. He says it is like a strawberry smoothie. He wouldn't let me have any! :( Desi got cold and put on a jacket because it was only 76F this morning at breakfast. Desi say, "Ricky come back soon!" Ricky Ricardo is building international goodwill for Havanese, one peoples at a time.

Then I go home to mi casa for mi weekly bath, comb out, and blow dry.

Then I go out to big lawn in front of mi casa for practice obedience. Popi and mi work together as a team, off-lease today. I work on heel, sit, down, stay, front, around, come, and shake. I work really hard and concentrate on Popi. Popi say, "Ricky I am really proud of you, you are 95% consistent. You are a good boy." I say, okay Popi, just keep the training treats coming! Then we play a vigorous game of fetch with mi blue football. I RLH after football. At the end of 45 minutes, I was so pooped I had to poop!

Then neighbor people come to mi casa and say can't find their little boy, is he here? So mi and Popi help neighbor go fine little boy. I'm good tracking doggie and fine him over by unfenced swimming pool. This not good neighbor peoples!

Then Momi and Popi have a happy hour on veranda to watch sunset over Sea of Cortez with liquid that bubbles and they more happy than usual! They give me little pieces of cheese and Ricky do tricks for them and everybodys happy and laughing.

I have had a full day of loca vida. Tonight, I am doggie tired!

Ricky it sounds like you had a great day but we're laughing that you think 76F is cold. :pound: Why don't you come and visit us in the ice and snow? We went ice skating this morning when we went out to go potty! Mom has to go out later and chop the ice off the stone steps so we can go all the way in the back yard for your RLH later in the mud! We haven't seen grass in a long time at least the yard looks cleaner, no yellow spots, with our additional couple inches of snow yesterday.

A couple of days ago mi Popi was away working on an assignment and mi Momi took the trash outside, soooooooo, I was en mi casa by myself! HEY! did Popi forget and leave the treat bag full of training treats on the buffet in the dining room? Well, I had to check that one out, but the buffet is three feet high! So, I jump on the sofa, from the sofa jump on the console table, from the console table jump onto the side chair - that just happens to be next to the dining room buffet table!!!!!! Next jump on the buffet table, and YES, it was the nylon treat bag, chuck full of goodies. Then, I jump down and take the treat bag to my secret spot under the sofa and it was pig-out heaven! I was in such a good mood, I decided to shred the nylon bag for desert! Momi return and she in state of shock! Then Popi come home and he not jolly with me like usual! Did I do something wrong? Popi took a rolled up newspaper and hit himself over the head!

Last Sunday Momi and Popi went to fancy restaurant for buffet breakfast for a few hours, so I went to stay at casa of CoCo, mi little Havanese amiga. We had a great time and we shredded the Sunday newspaper together! CoCo, although only 4 months, is learning all the good tricks!

Mi Mexico vacation is over and I am now on the road headed back to mi casa en Southern California. It is a long, two day drive, but Popi make mi a little nest in the back seat with mi blankie and teddy bear and I sleep most of the time. We stop every couple of hours to run around in the desert a little bit and Popi and mi water the sagebrush together. It's a guy thing.

Maybe this is the end of mi loca vida, or maybe it is just the beginning of new adventures in California. I'm sure there will always be some new mischief to explore, wherever I am. :brick: Okay, relax Popi!

besos, Ricky Ricardo

Oh Ricky, you are a crazy boy!!!! My mum and dad went to Cabo last week, but I wasn't able to go because they stayed at one of those all inclusive places and they don't allow puppies. Mum and dad made sure I had fun too though. I stayed with my breeder and got to play with my birth mum and dad, my full baby brother, Zorro, he is only 16 weeks and looks just like me and my cousins Daisy, Lola and Elena. I was tired out every day from playing with all those pups. I had a good time, but I was very happy to see my mum and dad when they came to get me. Now life is back to normal with everyone having a week of great memories.

Hey Ricky, give your Popi a belated birthday for me and tell him that mine is tomorrow. I think Tyler is beyond shredding up the newspaper, though, but if he gets ahold of a napkin with birthday cake on it, there will be no holding him back.

Popi put me to bed in my crate last night at the usual time. Everything seem to be routine, but I was not happy. Something wasn't right. I was growling and whimpering in a very soft voice and I wouldn't lie down, I just sat bolt upright. Popi couldn't figure out what was wrong, he couldn't figure out what I was trying to tell him. He couldn't get any sleep with all the squeaks, gurgles, and whines I was making. So he got up in the dark to see if I had to go potty. He took me outside and I managed to squeeze out a little, but that is NOT what was bothering me. He put me back in my crate and I started doing the same thing again. He tried to ignore me but after half an hour, he got up again and turned on the lights. AHA!!!!!!!!!!!

When Popi put me to bed he didn't turn on the lights in the bedroom where my crate is and there was a blanket on top of the crate too. Popi had forgotten to take my food bowl out of the crate after I had eaten my supper and he didn't notice it was still in my crate. :frusty: I could not get comfortable in my crate with that small (about 8 oz.) food bowl in there. I love mi food bowl, but I don't want to sleep with it!!!! I love routine and sleeping with my food bowl IS NOT mi routine! Sleeping with mi blankie and TeddyCow is all I want in mi crate at night, I use the TeddyCow for mi pillow.......I won't go to sleep until they are there!

Well Popi, bless his forgetful heart, removed the bowl and everything was right in the world once again. Popi, Momi, and mi all got a peaceful night of rest after that.

Oh Ricky, I totally understand. My crate is only for my bed, my hedgehog stuffy and my blankie. I sleep with them everynight and if they are not there I would be very upset. My mum has had to stitch up my hedgehog many times so I can keep him and he only has 1 leg left, but he is still my best friend and I couldn't sleep without him. I'm glad you got your sleep in the end.

Mi Momi and Popi are going on a cruise for the next 3 weeks and I wil be off the Internet during that time. I am going to miss them a whole bunch, but I will be staying with mi two Tias whom I love very much. I climbed in their suitcase last night when they were packing. I thought maybe I could hide in there and they would take me with them. I was discovered! This next 3 three weeks cannot go by fast enough for mi!

See ya later alligator. :croc:

besos, Ricky Ricardo
