And with a Havanese, you know what a nightmare the snow in that fur can be! To that end I'm hoping we can meet for indoor playdates at places such as …

I would LOVE to get out of the house more, but for the first few meetings, we will probably hold them here. If more than 5 people attend, then I wil …
