Our first moments in CA were a bit overwhelming. We arrive to the new house at 4pm with nothing but our personal belongings and an air mattress. We go and get some dinner and some groceries. It is 111F outside too! Not quite as high in the mountain but you get the deal- also no a/c! So we go to buy some fans, and they are all sold out everywhere! So the entire family shares a crate fan. Dora is not sleeping at all- we can't figure out why but think it has to deal with the new home. I get up turn on the lights and see at least a thousand ants in the dog food dish and a trail of them following in from the backyard. Dora had to think we moved to quite the neighborhood!
Well I post this on the Havanese Forum where a great friend comes to the rescue! That morning Leslie and her husband Richard come over and save us and our girls from the heat with some powerful fans and some ant spray and a giant LA map! If that wasn't enough to make us feel like this can be home, we join them and their family for a labor day barbeque! Even after Belle busts out of her crate since she can't be trusted when there is food (is there such thing as a maltese proof crate?) we still felt very welcomed! Dogs are powerful creatures in making great friends too!
Belle and Dora also made their first furry friend. An adorable silky Pekingese named Rascal!
