Roxie and Lily celebrating Christmas–they are from the Rosie/Zeke litter and are now a little over a year old.
Poppy (aka Blue girl and Tui) is out playing with the other Bichons that live here–she loves the other dogs!!! Sprout tolerates her, Rosie puts Poppy in her place (disciplines her), Benny tries to ignore her, but Zeke and Sydney play with her. I’m not sure Zeke and Sydney will have much of a show coat after Poppy is through wrestling with them–but so far I haven’t seen any damage–and after all–a girls just gotta have fun!! (Poppy has been renamed–nobody liked the name Tui and the name Poppy really seems to fit her.)
Mikey(aka Purple boy) and Gidget are taking a break from playing. When Mikey first met Gidget he just wasn’t very sure about her and growled at her–now Sylvia tells me they are best friends and play and play and play. Sylvia and Mikey are also going to puppy kindergarten and Sylvia states that Mikey is enjoying the class and meeting other dogs. So glad to hear that the two Bichons are having fun and enjoying each other!!!
Mikey has gone to live with Sylvia and her husband and Gidget (2 1/2 yr. old Bichon). Gidget and Mikey got off to a bit of a bumpy start, but their relationship has continued to improve. Sylvia is busy socializing Mikey with trips to various places, working on leash training and name recognition–and also puppy kindergarden.
