It’s All About The Do

I’m going to see a dog today and am really excited. This girl had contacted me through kijiji earlier in the week about her bichon frisé. She is an 8-month old female who is up to date on her needles and has been fixed (big bonus). I didn’t know all that much about bichon’s so I did a little search and found out they are dogs with a very playful and sweet temperament. Even though they had wonderful qualities, I wasn’t sure I was a “bichon” kinda girl. They seemed a little too frou-frou fro me. But then she sent me a picture:



Gah! Look at that face! She is adorable! That’s when I realized it was all about the way she was groomed. What I didn’t like was the cheesy afro-look some bichons have:





I mean the poor pups look like they walked out of a 1970’s disco movie! Seriously, that’s bordering on abuse.

So I’m off to see this nicely style pup this afternoon. I’ll keep you posted.

omg, this disco-ball pups are hilarious. Please never let anyone do this to your potential pup.

Good luck with the visit today!

How did your visit with the dog go?
How will your allergies be with her? They have hair like a poodle don't they? We had a landlord that had one . She was cute

As you can see by my latest post, she just wasn't the one. As for my allergies, there are some dog breeds that don't affect me: poodles (which I have no interest in), Bichon frisee, Havanese, Shih Tzu, Lhasa Apso, Silky and Skye Terriers.

I'm sure there are others, but these are the ones I know so far. I also know that Labs, Collies and Retrievers are REALLY bad for my allergies. :-)
