A well-loved Havanese

This is Fluffy - a well loved little havanese pup. She is the companion of a lucky little twelve year old girl. They do everything together. I think that's a great thing in childhood to have a pet to adore. This little girl's grandmother thinks so too and commissioned this as a Christmas present.

I had many pets in childhood. My brother and I had our own little zoo growing up. I took it as my personal mission to drag every sad creature I found home to be rescued. My parents didn't always appreciate it -- but they loved the creatures too. I loved them all, but the special one for me was my cat Calico. She was of course a calico (give me a break, I was 7 when I named her!). That kitty would run full speed from anywhere in the house if I called her. She was on me as soon as I sat down. She was my best friend. My own house now has a gaggle of creatures too, for my kids to grow up appreciating all forms of life and the love they show us.

I still believe in rescuing animals and have learned I can't adopt them all, so 10% of every sale goes back to the rescue group of the buyers choice. Fluffy's grandma picked Mixed Breeds in Need. So we get to make a little girl happy, and help more pets find homes. Yay :-) Happy Holidays Everyone!
