Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello World,
My name is Bobbi and I’m 18 months old and as cute as I can be. Mom says I have a luxurious white coat, love to be bathed and brushed and enjoy attention. Dad says I love to play Fetch and am quite the entertainer. I think he’s talking about me and my green dragon (It’s a stuffed toy, not a real dragon!) I like to take it everywhere I go and play fetch with it. And if no one is around to play with me, Green Dragon and I have fun together.
You might say I’m an independent little girl however I’m also a cuddle bug. I get so excited to see my special people. I jump and dance and, Mom says, I sprint over to say Hello and slide into her with a big smile on my face. (She says I truly smile and that makes me irresistible.)
I love to go for rides in the car, long walks (I can easily do a mile and like walking that far) and I’m housebroken. Mom says I go to the Big People’s Door, put my paw on it and stand there so she knows to let me out. I also know ‘sit’ and ‘down’ (and can usually be talked into doing that) as well as knowing how to shake. Mom’s working on other commands with me and says I definitely want to learn.
I’m also very puppy-like and tend to play a little rough. Apparently before I became a FurKid I found that nipping was a good solution when I was uncomfortable with a situation. Trust me, Mom’s a trainer and she and Dad are working on that! They are teaching me new ways to cope with being uncomfortable! Little kids would not be good for me but ones that are more like adults are ok. I’m pretty friendly with visitors and other adults, too.
Dad says I’m smart and I don’t have that thing called ‘separation anxiety’ which means I might whine or bark for a few minutes in my crate, then I settle down quickly. I also have two really big doggy foster sisters who are trying to show me how to be the ‘best canine citizen’ I can be.
Mom and Dad want you to know that while I had a rough beginning to my life I’m pretty resilient. Mom says that with time, patience, love and training I will be absolutely the best little bichon ever because I’m so smart and eager to please. It’s just that I missed out on a lot of the doggie and human social skills I should have learned when I was a puppy! Dad says that I so want to do things right and if I have someone who is willing to give me the time and patience I need, there will be a great reward for both of us. Since I’m still very puppy-like, training is VERY important for me.
They both agree that when I snuggle into you, there isn’t anything in the world better than that. So if you have a structured environment, are patient and will work with me, I’m ready to be the little superstar that I was born to be. Mom thinks I’d prefer to be an only FurKid.
If that sounds like you, I’d love to meet. In the meantime I’m practicing all the things Mom and Dad have shown me, getting ready for my forever family and home.
