Ada is ridiculously curious and it can be really fun trying to see the world through her eyes.
Here she watches Dan set up this shot; moments later scampering over to investigate properly.
And here is an endearing little “sniff, sniff” of the camera from earlier that day.
Sigh. I miss my puppy. Just one more sleep until we pick her up!
If you read this blog then you probably already know that Ada is the cutest dog. But the whole world may not know yet so we’ve entered her in the Cutest Dog Competition.
P.S. If you see “You can vote once per day. Come back tomorrow!” instead of a Vote button, it’s because someone at your IP (maybe someone at your work?) has already voted. So try voting from your smartphone/pda or your home computer.
P.P.S If Ada wins (however unlikely) we’ll donate the winnings to the SPCA.
We haven’t seen Ada play with other dogs like this.
Ada’s breeders were at this week’s Havanese meetup. They brought Dexter, Ada’s brother, and Peanut, who was born 3-days before from a different mother. Dexter wasn’t very sociable, but Ada and Peanut got on like a house-on-fire.
We’re leaving for England on Thursday and Ada’s staying with the breeders. After seeing Ada and Peanut play, Tessa’s feeling much more comfortable with leaving her little pup.
Ada does not like to lay with her feet under her body.

But really who is suffering because of this crime? If I had feet that cute I’d be showing them off all the time too!
Puppies, just like humans, get two sets of teeth during their life. The second set comes in when they are about 5 month old. Ada is nearly 5-months old. In the last week she has lost about 8 teeth, all in front.
I haven’t been surprised that all these teeth coming in and out makes her want to chew on EVERYTHING. (Lucky for us, her favorites are inexpensive disposable plastic bottles, berry containers, etc.) But it cracks me up that she’s always got her tongue sticking out! I guess there just aren’t any teeth there to hold it in :P
Today we took Ada to get a fancypants haircut (plus mani-pedi and inner ear hair pluck) at Critter Clipper. Not only are the doggy-stylists very talented, they are also very sweet and take really good care of the pups.
My first reaction to Ada’s new hairdo? EYES! Ada has eyes! Sweet little gimme-another-treat puppydog eyes! Ok Ada, just one more treat for being cute.
We’re still getting used to her new ‘do. Her hair is even softer than before (no, I didn’t think that was possible) and she looks so much smaller. I guess she looks more like a dog now and less like a polar bear (and I’m not sure if that’s good or bad). But I imagine she must be happy to see more clearly. I know I’ll be happy to spend less time picking sticks and grass and burrs out of her hair.
In a blitz to tidy up, sometimes we pile all the throw pillows in one corner of the couch…
...much to Ada's pleasure.
It's really nice that she matches the decor.
