Andrew and I were given the green light( after a six page application and three interviews) to adopt another Havanese from the amazing Havanese Angel League!
Baxter get’s a brother!
He was rescued from an evil puppy mill and when I saw his little mug on Petfinder I about keeled over- his name right now is Gateshead and he’s from North Carolina (my husband is from North Carolina and his last name is Gates). It was meant to be!
He may be coming home as soon as next weekend when Andrew flies into Raleigh to see his family!
The argument now is, what to name the little lovebug….

Could he be any cuter!?!?!?!? I can see why it was love at first sight…he is adorable! Can’t wait to hear what you decide for his name. Congrats!!!
What a cutie pie! So excited for you guys. From one dog lover to another….
Yahoo!!! Can’t wait to meet him!
how sweet is he!
Liebchen? Like the vintage modern design company in Brooklyn: Baxter and Liebchen. Well, maybe it doesn’t quite roll off the tongue. :) I can’t wait to see what you name him. I’ve decided if I ever get a dog, I want a Havanese.
Oh my goodness, he is too cute! Do they shed?
Congratulations! What a little muffin.
Unrelated to the new pup…I was looking at old posts from your site and I couldn’t believe it when I ran into the post relating to your own wedding. I was married in April 2007 and I used no less than 4 or 5 pages of your photos from that magazine as inspiration!
I would have never realized that was you unless I stumbled upon that post. I knew that I wanted chocolate brown and coral/ orange as the main colors for the reception and I loved your flowers and stationary. Hopple Popple planned our wedding at The Four Seasons and it was amazing. We ended up using the orange colors for bridesmaids bouquets and went with a strictly white and green floral theme for the church (Arlington Street Church) and reception as well as rich chocolate linens for the reception. (Also, my mom surprised me with a hand painted runner for the church with our new monogram and the date).
Sorry for the lengthy post but I was excited to realize that was you!
My soul what a handsome boy! Congratulations! Wait till you meet him in person… I’m certain his name will come to you then!
What a cutie! Congratulations!!!
OMG-He is so cute! I too have been looking to adopt a dog and I’m obsessed with the havanese breed! Congratulations!!
Hes so cute!! Congrats on the addition to your family! I Cant wait to hear the new name either
Anyone who wants a dog- the Havanese is an AMAZING breed. We love Baxter more than life itself- he’s so smart and cuddly and funny and does not shed! :)
So cute!! Congrats!

So cute! My family has a Havanese named Charley and he is the best dog ever. I am getting a dog of my own now that I have a new place, and I would love to get another Havanese.
I’m seriously jealous – what a little puff of cuteness!!!
I’ve been wanting a dog for ages, but the hubs isn’t convinced.
Btw, thank you for the sweet comments on my blog!
Erin, he’s adorable! I adopted my second dog just a few months ago from pet finder and you will love having 2. Mine make the funniest little pair. I swear they make me laugh all day long. Congrats!
Oh, what a sweet pup! How very exciting that Baxter will soon have a playmate and brother.
