Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello Bichon Lovers!
My name is Annie and I’m a tiny, darling Golden (just barely) Girl, looking for a special home where my unconditional love will be reciprocated. I'm all of 9 pounds and about 10 years old but you know the saying: WITH AGE COMES WISDOM -- and I am as smart as I am sweet and petite.
My mom says I am the master at letting her know when I need something (like a belly rub) in the most demure way. I am not even a foot tall you know, so I need to make sure that she hears me way up there, so I do this by saying the cutest, little “arf” you’ve ever heard, accompanied by what she calls the “hummingtale” that brings a smile to her face every time.
I seem to communicate very effectively because Mom always knows whether I'm in need of a belly rub or if it’s time for dinner or that I need to go outside to do my business (because I am perfectly potty trained). Dad says that he is very impressed with my perseverance and how I never let anything get me down. He says that I always get what I want but that I am never bossy and ALWAYS adorable. A wise Bichon knows how to conquer her humans with cuteness (and I am the quintessential queen of cuteness.)
There is no doubt that I love to be with people -- and know how to work my way onto just about any lap. 'Lap naps' might be my favorite things….or maybe it’s walks. I sure do love my walkies. Mom says that the way I walk is very endearing (whatever that means). I have a funkyhip joint that adds a special spring to my step but doesn’t bother me or impact my quality of life at all.
Dad says to tell you that car rides are on my favorites list. I love to go everywhere and anywhere if you’ll take me. Mom has a special car seat that keeps me safe and lets me look out the window when we go places. Sometimes she even lets me stick my head out the window to feel the breeze through my hair – but only when we’re driving slowly, of course.
So to summarize the things I like – lap naps, walkies, car rides AND FOOD. How could I forget food??? And treats! (I know those are food but I want to make sure everyone knows I like both.) I like other dogs, too. They don’t belong on my favorites list or anything but I do have doggy foster brothers and sisters and see lots of other dogs on our walkies. They’re cool -- but I would prefer to be in a home where all of the laps are mine to choose from.
My forever home should include adults or with adults and older children only 'cause I'm a sensitive little fluff who needs a gentle hand.
So if you’re looking for your very own Golden Girl, please consider me: the darling, mellow, sweet, plucky and congenial little girl who is waiting to steal your heart.
Tail wags and hugs,
Adorable and AMAZING Annie
