Velcro Dog

-


Did you know that some people call Havanese dogs "velcro dogs"? That is because this breed likes to stay very close to their human(s). They follow their humans everywhere, even into the bathroom.

One day G-Lo was taking a shower. She heard a funny scratching sound on the glass of the shower stall. When she looked down to see where the noise was coming from, who did she see? CHARLIE the VELCRO DOG! Charlie wanted to come into the shower so she could be close to G-Lo, but G-Lo had other plans. She quickly darted out of the shower, and grabbed her iPhone which was nearby. She got back into the shower and took this picture of Charlie, who by now was not only scratching, but had her cute little paws up against the glass as she stood on her hind legs pleading to get in. G-Lo got the shot, but Charlie did not get her wish. She had to wait until G-Lo's shower was over before she could attach herself once again to G-Lo's side. 

*** Fun fact: In the 1800's when the breed was originated, the Havanese were very good at sitting in the laps of nobility and the wealthy. Their main job was to sit still and be petted all day long. Because of this, these cute little pups like Charlie love to be in their human's lap or very close by.

Homeschool

Charlie's school is called Wonder Puppy. It is closed for now. So... Time for some homeschooling! Zayde starts school by asking Charlie to SIT. Next he asks her to lay DOWN: She's very good at those easy commands. Did you see Zayde give her a treat when she sat and went she went down? That's how we've taught her to do these things. It's like: Clara, would you please practice piano? Oh, you did already? Good girl. Now you can have some ice cream.  Well, life with humans doesn't really work that way, but it sure would be nice if it did!!! Also, Zayde makes  little clicking sound with a special clicker we got from Charlie's school. When she hears the click she knows she is doing a good job. Anyway, the next command is more difficult, and Charlie just started learning it. It's called PARK IT. Can you figure out what that means? Here are some choices A. Run outside and go play at the park B. Climb in the driver's seat...
