Sandypaws came to visit Kodi today, and brought him a new squeaky doggy. He LOVES it... has been carrying it around all day!

Thank you, Mary!

You are very welcome Kodi. I'm so glad you like it and thought it was very cute when you came over, personally, and thanked me. That was awesome and made my day. You've done a super job with Kodi, Karen. He's a great dog and I know you're very proud of him as you should be.
Of course, it was also nice to see you again and to meet Dave this time. Good luck with your fish tank this weekend.

Oh darn...I live soooooooooo far away....two of my very favorite dogs....so close but so far away.
I have never ever saw another Havanese in person, except when I picked up these two at the breeders. So glad you had a good time even though we are all a little jealous.

The Bella Sisters say "we want to play too"

Don't be too jealous girls, it wasn't a Havanese play date, just a people visit plus Kodi. Karen and I live an hour and a half away from each other so Tyler does not go with us when we go. At 15, that's a long ride for him and I know he's more comfy at home. Karen happens to live in the town my husband and I lived in for 40 years before moving to Cape Cod 7 years ago. (Small world, as they say). We go back there a few times a year and when I learned through Pam King that Karen lived there, I looked her up and gave her a call. She was gracious enough to invite my DH and myself over to meet her and Kodi, earlier this year. Today, was actually our second visit with them. I wish Tyler could meet Kodi, but I think it would be too stressful for him. So, if you want to be jealous, you can be because it was a very enjoyable visit and it is kind of cool to meet a "cyber buddy" in person, even though it wasn't a play date.

Maybe when spring rolls around again, Kodi and I could come down and go for a walk on the beach some warm day with you and Tyler. Then Tyler wouldn't have the long car ride, and Kodi is always gentle with other dogs!

Karen, we'd love to have you and Kodi come down and walk the beach with us in the Spring. Dogs are not allowed on our public beaches from May 15th-September 15th, however, we have a Jeep Wrangler with an off-road permit which allows us to drive out on the entire length, 6 1/2 miles, of our barrier beach where dogs are allowed year round off-leash but during piper plover nesting season, on leash only. It's an awesome experience to drive way out there and we do it often with Tyler for lunch and walks and it's lots of fun. The scenery is amazing. We'll have to plan something. I know Kodi will be good, but I can't vouch for Tyler as his loss of hearing makes him a bit jumpy when approached from behind. We can give it a try though.

Speaking of the old man, here he is on one of our windy beaches last Sunday.

That sounds like a great plan, Mary! I actually prefer the Cape off-season anyway, as I hate dealing with crowds and traffic. Kodi's BFF, Buddy, a German Shepherd is getting very elderly, and Kodi knows to be gentle aRound him. I'm sure if Tyler told Kodi to back off, he would, and he wouldn't take offense. "Old men" deserve some respect!:)

We residents also prefer the off season when we get back our beaches, roads and stores. We know that we have to have tourists for our economy, but it's sure nice when they go home. Even winters on the Cape are nice and so different from living in Metrowest.

No kidding! When we moved here, it was a sleepy little farm town. We still had the "Holliston Horse and Buggy Club", CVS was Russell's Market, and the next closest grocery store was Star in Wellesley. The P.O. was still on Central St. and Bertucci's was Walter's Dairy.

Now, it's hard to get out the end of our driveway at rush hour! Too bad WE can't get the "tourists" to go away!:pound:

I remember those days very well. We moved there in 1965 and didn't leave until 2005, 40 years later. It was the "small" town atmosphere that lured us there. There have been too many changes which have certainly changed the ambiance of the town. Oh well, I guess that's called progress.

I agree with you, Mary, and if Dave weren't tied to his business in Norwood, I'd move further out in a minute. I don't know that I'd choose the Cape, due to the summer crowds... I think I'd head to central MA or possibly eastern CT. I LOVE the Amherst area.

Of course, if we didn't have so many family ties here, I'd be tempted to move further south... like VA or NC. Then I could be back in the country and have lower housing costs too!:biggrin1:
