Neiko the Havanese

Neiko

Neiko is a little dog with a huge hear and a sparkling personality. Ask Neiko the purpose of life. He knows - it's eating, playing, sleeping, doing what comes naturally and being loved. This is his story. If you love puppies, snuggle up with him in spirit as you read about his life. Nothing would make him happier... except maybe a juicy steak.

Neiko lives in Sarasota, Florida. His days are spent in the office with his owner. Evenings and weekends he can often be found lounging at sidewalk cafes, browsing in his favorite dog stores or playing with his puppy pals at Island Park. Saturday mornings he heads for the Downtown Market, the spot for stylish canines to be seen.

Finding your BFF (best friend forever) is just the beginning of the fun. Puppy Love is about my search for the perfect puppy. Puppy shopping online is so much more fun than match.com and you know you will find what you want. You will also find great tips on how to find that special pup and what to do after you by him/her.

In December 2006 America faced a pet food crisis. Tainted dog and cat food seemed to be everywhere. Neiko was weaned during that time frame and suffered many problems. Luckily, his battle to survive was successful but keeping him healthy became nearly a full time job. Living in a city also posed health challenges. Puppy Chow tells this story and may help you if you are having problems finding the right dog food. There are also many helpful tips on keeping your city dog healthy.

Finding out your dog has run away is an experience I hope you never have. You can read how Neiko became lost and how he was found. Everyone with a dog should read Lost Dog and be prepared. You really never think it will happen until it's too late.

House breaking and basic dog training sometime requires help. Neiko learned to be a gentleman through a combination of methods, including dog training classes. School Days is the journal of his experiences and covers many training ideas that make living with a dog more fun than hassle. If you have trouble house breaking your dog, this will be a very good section to read.

The innocence of dogs is so appealing. Neiko can make nearly everyone smile. People stop their cars just to ask, "What is he?" Some think he's a tiny Sheepdog, others a Shih Tzu, Maltese, or even Disney's Shaggy Dog. Neiko is a Havanese - a little known but ancient breed that was re-established in America only recently. Even Barbara Walters thinks her Havanese is the world's best dog. Neiko wrote his family's story at My Ancestors. He's very talented.

Neiko tells about those tried and true great finds he loves in My Stuff. His idea of fun may not be ours, but he certainly finds happiness in everything he does.

Playmates are Neiko's friends so this area will continue to grow. You may even find your dog here!
