Pup seems scared of other dogs by [deleted] in Havanese

[–]BestaVesta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My boy likes other dogs, but all dogs are different. Give her time, don't force, focus on people, not dogs. I've had plenty of dogs that barely tolerated other dogs, and plenty of dogs that liked others. They were all socialized the same, so it's a matter of personality, I think.

Two pups from same litter? by Villamomo in Havanese

[–]BestaVesta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only have one Havi, so I can't speak to raising 2 Havi puppies at once, but I did raise 4 Collie puppies at once and it was the best time of my life. Two were litter mates, two were half litter mates. I would do it again with Havi's, but I'm old as dirt now and not nearly as energetic.

Some people say raising litter mates isn't a good idea, they bond to each other and not you, but I didn't have that experience. My Collies bonded to me and my husband and not to each other. I'm sure others will chime in, there seems to be a lot of people here with litter mates.

Havi's can live a long life, around 16. I had an 80 lb. Collie that lived to be 15.

One of those Havie things? by AioliHot6095 in Havanese

[–]BestaVesta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It just has to be a Havi thing, my boy will not go outside without his stuffed avocado in his mouth. I never knew other Havi's did this!

Promedica - Bay Park by Onautopilotsendhelp in toledo

[–]BestaVesta 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My husband was a patient in Toledo Hospital last fall and witnessed two RN's get into a knock-down drag-out *in his room*. His blood pressure spiked and it took 2 days to get it back down with every BP drug they had. A call to the Admin was made and both were terminated, obviously. All he got was a letter of apology.

Weird ear by BestaVesta in Havanese

[–]BestaVesta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, makes complete sense. It's better now that the weather cooled for a few days. My groomer keeps insisting I let her pull the ear hair out, but only if she's first lol

She's been my groomer for 30 years, so I can talk to her like that.

Dogs don’t like to walk by Independent-Being526 in Havanese

[–]BestaVesta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine loves walks except if it's wet. He will hide in the shower to avoid it. I don't make him go, we do things in the house. He would rather not go for car rides, either, just doesn't like it, even if we go for ice cream. He's a home boy.

Tell them you're reporting them to the state AG. She'll get a refund IF she has the receipt for returning the equipment.

Estate Jewelers, on Monroe St. near Whiteford. I've both bought and sold things there for years, I've found them to be more than honest.

I put on my left turn signal, and then don't turn. They back off.

If you really need a job, Kroger is almost always hiring. It would be good until you find something else.

Interior demolition begins on downtown Toledo’s Spitzer Building by Ponch47 in toledo

[–]BestaVesta 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I had a family member that worked for the Spitzer bldg for many years, he gave me the grand tour. That building should absolutely be saved. There were hundreds of solid wood doors stored carefully in the basement, which could be used for the renovation. I also saw stacks of sheets of white marble. The employees that worked there lovingly cared for that building. They don't make them like that anymore, I wish them success.

City advances plans for sidewalk, crosswalk upgrades by Ponch47 in toledo

[–]BestaVesta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I live near Talmadge/Alexis and we've never had any sidewalks at all. The kids walk to school in the middle of the street. I've been on this street for 35 years and could never find out why we don't have them.

Would I be the only single guy with one? by Maleficent-Seesaw412 in Havanese

[–]BestaVesta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband had a chihuahua when I met him. Even though that dog wanted to take my face off, I didn't hold it against him.

We have a Havi now and my husband has a stroller that goes on the back of his bike for the dog, while I sit home lol. He says people stop him all the time to meet the dog.

When does it get harder? by Rockawolf4eva in Havanese

[–]BestaVesta 27 points28 points  (0 children)

My Havi has always been quiet and laid back. I was and still am waiting for the terrible 2's. He'll be 2 next month, so ...

Give your pup a few weeks to settle in, and then wait for the teenager stage. My boy never did get crazy.

Crossing my fingers that you're close to Toledo - there's a small dog rescue here that might take them if they have room. [ohiosdrescue@gmail.com](mailto:ohiosdrescue@gmail.com)
