Our Cuban Adoption





Meet Oliver, the Havanese wonder! After months of searching for a small, fuzzy Cuban, we found one here in Naples from a local breeder. He is absolutely adorable, potty trained (for potty pads), and has enormous energy bursts where he'll run full rocket speed and leap into his bed to just roll around, and then fall asleep. He is twelve weeks old, and has four siblings and parents in town who he sees three times a week at "daycare".....yes, daycare. His parents, Helen & Rio, are Westminister show dogs that have retired from showing, but now breeding which seems they are savoring the finer things in life.

Oliver is pretty easy, so has already been given full access to patios and some restaurants here in Naples. He is hypoallergenic for those of you that plan on getting to Naples to visit. He has been sleeping throughout the night, but still has his puppy moments, some less to be desired. However, he brings such laughter and joy, and such a change in pace for us. He has requested to join us in Napa for the October Cabernet harvest, but his parents are requesting he stay with them for the week. We'll see.....we're getting quite attached!
