Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello World, Skippy
My name is Skippy – and I’m a very cute Bichon boy of five who weighs eleven pounds soaking wet (and about the same when I’m dry, too!) My foster mom says that good things come in small packages and I’m an incredibly cute ‘package.’ (I’m not sure what that means but she smiles when she says it!)
I love to play chase with my human brothers and sisters – as well as my doggy foster brothers. We (the furkids and I, that is) play this game called ‘run around the sofas as fast as you can.’ We are very good at that game already! I also love to follow my bichon foster brother and do whatever he does. In fact he’s teaching me how to be a real dog. You see, for the first five years of my life I didn’t have another little guy like me to learn from – so I’m busy making up for lost time!
Mom says I’m housebroken (and that is not a typo!), love to go for rides in the car and am a good passenger. When it comes to walking on a leash I need a bit more practice – so Mom, Dad and the kids are working with me every day so I get better and better! I’m also anxious to please and Mom is working with me to learn commands. Because I’m a good boy, at the end of the day of play and training, cuddling and chasing, I get to sleep with my human foster brother. (And I sleep quietly all through the night.)
Mom says that I’m a sweet, submissive and loving little guy who would make anyone a great companion. She says I would be happiest in a home with another bichon and people who are home most of the time. I think that sounds just fine.
So if you’re looking for a loving, cute, sweet, happy and playful little guy, just ask for me. I’ll be waiting to meet you.
