Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello People,
My name is Benson – and I’m a handsome and delightful bichon puppy (Can’t you tell?) I’m so happy that I smile – and when I do, I light up the room! Besides being handsome, delightful and happy, I’m also loving, playful and want to please! Sound good? Then please read on!
Dad says to tell you that I’m already housebroken (from the minute I came into the house!) love my walks (I actually prance) and ride well in the car. (I’d really like to drive but Dad says I’m not big enough yet.) Not to brag, but I’m very playful and pretty smart too. I also love to please people. Speaking of which, Mom says I love people and other dogs more than anything! I think grown-ups are a lot of fun, and I’m great with the ones called kids’, especially if they can play with me.
I like to greet new people and play with my doggy foster brothers and sisters. We have lots and lots of fun. We play ‘chase’ and ‘fetch and ‘chew.’ Oh and I like toys that squeak!
Did I mention that I’m the ‘cuddle champ.’ (Well, it’s true ‘since that’s one of my favorite things to do - but I like the others too!) I love to run in the yard with the wind on my face and the sun at my back. Heck, that’s starting to sound like a country western song!
I really do have a wonderful time with one doggie foster brother in particular! We love to run around the yard, into the house and, when we’re done, we do it again! After a busy day of running and playing I like to snuggle up safe and warm in my crate – and settle down for the night.
Mom thinks that I would do great with a family, at least one other furkid and lots of activity (‘cause I’m only 9 months old!) as well as lots of love and attention. So, if you’re interested in a darling little boy who will snuggle his way into your heart, then ask for me. I’ll be waiting – and playing!
Wags and hugs,
Beautiful and Bouncy Benson
