Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi People,
I’m Bobby, a handsome, (dashing, according to my Aunties), adorable, tail-wagging little Bichon boy of about seven. My foster mom says that I’m affectionate, playful and smart- and that I’m a slim, trim 14 pounds of love who appreciates everything life has to offer.
Now that I’m a furkid in a loving foster home, all things are possible. Mom says I’m beginning to blossom – but I tell her I’m not a flower so how can I blossom? I think she means that I’ve learned that I’m safe, live in a warm place, have wonderful food and companionship (both human and canine.) Mom says that I do so many cute things she doesn’t know where to begin. So I’ll help.
First of all, I do a great bichon wave. For those of you who aren’t familiar, it’s a thing that we bichons do when we want some attention or a treat. This is how it goes. I stand on my hind legs and dance around and put my two front paws together and wave. That always makes Mom smile, and( ta dah!) give me some love or a treat (pretty smart, huh?!).
Another thing that I’m pretty good at is playing. Any toy will do. I like to play tug, or chase a ball or chew on my bone. I’m pretty good at entertaining myself too.
And like most talented bichons, I can do “the Bichon buzz”. I buzz/run from room to room, sometimes doing circle eights and showing that I am as happy as I can be (I told you that being in a loving home makes all things possible!).
Mom calls me a ‘meeter and a greeter’ because I like all people, big and small. I’m very happy when I can meet people or dogs on my walks. Did I mention that I’m a great walker and can happily go for walks of a mile or more>? Well, that’s true. And Mom says I am a great traveler, too. Riding in the car to visit someone or run errands is great fun! I’m also quite content to sit quietly on the couch next to you, happy to accept as many belly rubs and cuddles as you want to give– and to relax and be with my people.
I’m learning commands (like ‘sit’) and really want to please. There are lots of other things I can learn too…. Do you want to teach me? I’ll be the very best student you’ll ever meet! I’m working very hard on my housebreaking too. And now that I’m living in a great foster home, it should be no time at all.
So if you are looking for a great guy who is waiting to become someone’s most special companion, I’m applying for the job. Please ask for me by name!
Bichon Waving and blissfully Buzzing Bobby
PS Like most of my bichon brethren, I’m more comfortable with pups my own size. So if you have another small fluff, that would be terrific too. No big dogs please!
