Herbie, our little Cornhusker

The first time I saw Herbie (named Billy the Kid at the time) on the website, I knew he was THE ONE! Our friends said "I sure do hope he is as perfect as you seem to think he is going to be". He is BEYOND perfect! He arrived at the airport on April 1st 2010 and I was in love from the first second! He is the cutest little Havanese baby in the world and has more love in him than any baby I have ever known! He is so smart and so quirky. I read and researched and am so thankful I decided on the Havanese and more thankful that I found Barb! Herbie is a southern boy now and lives in North Carolina with his other 4 legged siblings, Georgia, Zinck and Vegas. We wanted his name to represent the place he was born, so we named him after the University of Nebraskas mascot, Herbie the Cornhusker. Thank you Barb, from the bottom of my heart. This boy has my heart and soul and I am so thankful everyday for him!
