Rory is a Havanese (from Cuba) he is like a mini Lhasa Apso and he's lovely little fella BUT they do need lots of grooming hence reason i have his fur trimmed short as its quite easy for them to get knots....he doesn't shed hair like Hamish our Cavalier but If I had known what was instore for me and Ruth I would have got a short haired dog, due to my health probs I do struggle to handle him as he's a wriggler and having the use of one hand arm some times I struggle but I wouldn't change him now as its me and him against the world. I couldn't live without a dog especially in this house as strange things happen here so he is a good distraction from them. I think for someone who is pretty fit then a Havanese is a good choice just be prepared to either get them trimmed short (called a puppy cut) or if you leave it to grow it easily touches the floor I like to see his cheeky face.My sister said he looks a bit simple with his hair cut short lol I can see what she means lol
:hug:I know, i hated going through the door and no greeting - i used to delay it, walking home from work very slowly and spending time looking in closed shop windows along the way just to justify the stopping. Even now sometimes i open the door carefully so as not to let him out the front onto the road and expect him to be right there behind it.
How about a rescue dog one day? there's some lovely dogs wanting a lovely new home......I don't want to be a lonely grumpy old git and wee Rory's certainly keeps me on my toes and gives you a reason to get up every day. For people who have never had a pet they don't know what they are missing.....many years ago I went on a sort of date arranged by one of my mates and while we were out we went to a pub and they had a beautiful Red Setter dog and as i love all animals I was instantly drawn to it and it jumped up and gave me a kiss! and my date screeched with disgust at me letting this dirty creature jump on me lol I said to her its a better kisser than her and she got up and left the pub LOL great ending to a crap night....favourite bit was meeting the dog.
