Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello World,
My name is Joyous Johnny – and I’m a very cute Bichon boy of six or seven with a beautiful face, a happy smile and a very gentle way about me. Besides being sweet, affectionate and eager to please I am also very SMART. I’m a quick learner and now know all my commands (I’m also happy to learn more- and maybe even some tricks!). I’m a lover who is good with children as well as adults, am crate trained and completely housebroken (and that’s no typo) and of course, being the gentleman that I am, I have perfect manners.
Dad says to tell you that I’m gentle and patient with kids and other dogs (I love to be petted and receive attention. Oh, he means petted by the kids, of course!) I’m never needy though. I happily greet anyone I meet on our walks. Mom says I’ve never, ever met a stranger ’cause I think everyone is my new best friend.
I love to chase balls in the yard (and I actually bring them back! How’s that for being fun to play with?) I also play chase and tug-of-war with my doggy foster sister. Mom calls me an excellent role model because my puppy sister can be a bit of a brat. I’m very tolerant though because I am a very good boy and want to make Mom proud.
I like to ride in the car but what I really enjoy most are my walks! (The minute Mom gets the harness and leash out I know that we will soon be on our way – and I like that a lot! I love long walks, but lots of short ones are OK too. I’m happy to go anywhere or do anything as long as I am with my people. Big people called adults or small people called kids, I love them all.
I weigh in at 19 pounds soaking wet (and about the same when I’m dry, too!) Mom says that good things come in cuddle-sized packages and I’m an incredibly cute ‘package.’ (I’m not sure what that means but she smiles when she says it!) Mom and Dad agree that I have a peaceful, calm way about me which makes me very easy to be around -and I’m the best companion that you will ever find.
As the day winds to a close you will often find me on the bed, waiting for Mom, Dad or one of the (human) boys to join me. (I kind of figure if I go there and they come to find me that they might decide I’m just too adorable to leave on the bed by myself – so they’ll hop in.) Needless to say, I sleep contentedly in the Big People’s bed all night long, with a smile on my face!
While I’m just about perfect and pretty darn special, I also have one little thing that my Mom said I should tell you, I see 20/20 out of one of my eyes but the other one doesn’t see very well. Since I have two I manage beautifully and it doesn’t affect my activities or my love of life and people.
Everyone agrees that I deserve a great person, couple or family who is ready for a very best buddy. I’m looking for someone who will spend time with me and make me part of their world. While I can happily and quietly sit on the couch or in my bed while you are busy, I’m truly happiest being with my people, loving them to pieces. Well, maybe not pieces, but you get the idea. I can either be with other furkids or can be the only pup in the house, as long as I have ‘my people.’
So if you’re looking for a sweet, patient, gentle and very cute little guy, who has a heart full of love, just ask for me. I’ll be waiting to meet you.
