...countdown to Sept 1st !

WOW! What an awesome last week I have had....was away at a special camp for Foster Kids ..working to ensure they had a very JOYOUS and FUN time ! GOd was sooo awesome there...lots of JOY and UNITY all thru out the whole camp..24/7. !!

I arrived home on Friday...and Saturday we went to visit our little Harly. We are both so smitten and in love with this little guy. He is soo sweet..cuddly..and fur like soft silk. He cuddled right into my chest and there he stayed for next 45 minutes. We had a really neat chat with the Breeder ( Bryan) . He is very nice and always full of wonderful advice..sharing all his expertise in raising and breeding Havanese Dogs.

We then went shopping on Monday to get our home puppy ready *wink*. that was great FUN !

I took my manual on raising/training a Havanese with me on camp and read thru it all.. I learnt many wonderful things...like what to feed him..and not...how to potty train with little/no accidents...(I will add a few posts in next few days on what I have been reading ..soo keep your eyes peeled ! :)

We are just soo excited to see God opening new doors for this ministry..and the peopel He is placing in our lives....lady who we just ordered his " Therapy Dog in Training " vest...she is local to Portland..and was so sweet in sharing her experiences with Training Therapy Dogs..and confirmed the lady we have chosen is the best around for obedience classes :)

I posted on Craigslist about searching for a good reputable Vet..when this lovely young lady emailed me and responded she has a great one...for her Havanese...even tho she lives about 1 hour from us...we have now been emailing each other for about a week now..her little "Bandit" is only 14 weeks old..we are going to stay in touch ..and hopefully meet up and let our little boys to have play time together.... maybe even start a little "havanese club"..all in Gods hands...in His timing :)

So many wonderful things happening and everything all coming together so nicely.
Gods so FAITHFUL !

September 1st is our pick up date of HARLY !! YAY!!
Have a great blessed week ...
