Arrival Story: All of a sudden, Mama was wanting to have a baby really badly, but she isn't married, so she couldn't....well she could, but you know... Bol!
My Mama's mom knew a family through another friend of hers that had a dog (ME). They got me when I was only 2 months old. It was actually their 16 year old son who bought me from a local Bichon breeder. The boy saved up for a long time. He loved me very much and named me Benny! When I was 2 years old, his Mama had a furless baby. His Mama was upset that I kept trying to smell the baby and the baby's toys, so she got stressed out! But my furless sister was only home 5 days. Anyway, they decided to give me the boot. :( I didn't really know what was going on and shhh.. Mama still thinks I don't know and she won't tell me but I am pretty smart! I'm a Bichon!
My Mama's mom's friend told her that they were looking for someone to take me. So my Mama's mom called her and said: "Do you want a dog?" Mama was very surprised that her of all people, was asking her if she wanted a dog. She was always against having pets. (She said dogs are dirty..lol) But she told Mama about the family and their situation. Mama called them up and talked to them on the phone and asked questions about me. (Mama changed my name to Skye).
More about the story in the "Bio" section:
Bio: When Mama got to their apartment, I ran right up to her and started jumping on her! I was excited! I didn't even know she was going to be my new Mommy but I liked her! Then Mama sat on the couch and I ran up to her and layed at her feet and rolled on my back. She rubbed my tummy so nicely, but she was nervous, for she never had a dog before! Before Mama met me, the family told her I was very small. But when Mama saw me, she thought I was really cute but she thought I was huge!! I thought "Silly Mama! I'm not huge, I'm just fluffy!" Mama paid every penny she had for me that month! When I was leaving, my furless brother and his parents were crying a lot. Especially the mom. They hugged me a lot and then they told Mama to take good care of their baby. (ME).
Mama wanted to cry too and she thought I was going to be so sad, like they were. Mama told them not to worry and that she would take good care of me, she told them that she would bring me over for a visit next week. (and she did!)
When I came to my new home, I pooped in the hallway of the apartment building. Bol! Shhhh don't tell anyone!! Hee hee. Mama picked it up but shhh. Mama thought it was so cute how I just kept sniffing around. I whined a little bit but Mama played and played with me!
Mama never had a pet before so she was really scared. She wondered what if she can't take care of me, what if she didn't do a good job. And she thought that I might bite her! Bol!! My old family told Mama that I slept in a crate and to lock me in. Mama thought "what horror! Lock him in?" So she left the door on my crate open. Bol! Then she slept on the couch next to me. The next day, I woke Mama up by licking her hand. She laughed so much! Bol! I was so happy too when she woke up! I was waiting and waiting and then found the perfect time to wake her up! Bol!. Mama took me on so many walks because she didn't know how much I had to poop and pee. Then she would play with me outside and I loved playing in the snow! I got very dirty though, so Mama gave me a bath. All of a sudden when I got out of the tub, I started doing the Bichon Blitz! Mama didn't know anything about this. So when I was running crazy all around the apartment making weird noises. Mama got scared! Bol! She thought I had gone all rabies on her or something. She leaned back on the couch and pulled her legs up scared and softly kept saying to me: "It's okay, it's okay." That didn't calm me down, I was in the zone!! But Mama just thought I was going to attack her. She called my old family up and asked my former Mama if I do this after a bath. She said yes yes! Then while looking things up about Bichons on the Internet, Mama read about the Bichon Blitz! Now she knew what they meant! Mama still was a little scared because she never had a dog before, she thought I still might bite. But one day, I changed her mind about that! She was playing with me with a stuffed toy and by mistake my teeth missed the toy and scraped Mama's hand a little. I felt so terrible! I would never bite my Mama!! I felt awful! I immediately dropped the toy and I gave her a look like please don't get me in trouble. Then, started licking Mama's hand like crazy!!
P-Awww. From then on, Mama knew I wouldn't bite ever and she didn't have to be scared of me. Then she kept playing with me.
Mama brought me over to my old owner's house and even let me sleep over for a couple weekends at the beginning, but after the third time, I missed Mama so much that I wouldn't eat!
Mama really never knew how much a doggie could mean to someone, until she got me!
She loves me so much! She says that I'm am so sweet and loving! Mama never feels depressed anymore because of ME!
Oh yeah! I forgot to mention! After Mama adopted me, she made me a star! Bol. Well.. not a big hollywood star but a star on the runway! I got to strut my stuff in the 2008 Toronto Woofstock Fashion Show! You can see me on stage in my photos. And then I was on tv when they aired the Woofstock part on Pet Fashion TV. I am wearing the bumble bee outfit first, then I am on the runway in the camoflauge outfit. The video is on my page. :) I loved it! So much attention from so many people at once! A Bichon dream! Bol!

The Last Forum I Posted In: Should I get a friend for my Bichon? (a second dog? what
The medicine the Vet gave me caused an allergic reaction in me and my paws swelled up in my back legs. I started chewing the pads of my feet which I had never done before. Then Mama looked and saw that I was even biting my left paw and the pink skin swelled up between the black padding on my paws. It was really swollen so of course Mama stopped the medication and I stopped being itchy and swelling for the most part but I kinda made a boo boo on my back left paw's skin between the toes. Mama is trying to keep me from chewing it further. So she put that cone back on me! Yucky! I hate that cone! When will all these medical things end? I don't want to see another Vet for a long time! Bol.
A couple weeks ago, Mama noticed I limped a little when I would wake up from a nap. She asked her neighbor, who used to have a Bichon, if she knew what it might be. Her neighbor said that maybe I was pretending because her Bichon used to do that, then she said maybe it just fell asleep. Then I didn't do it for a day, then I did it another day. So Mama took me for a full exam and the Vet said I was good, and nothing was wrong.
Well... last week, I didn't limp too much when I woke up so Mama thought it would be okay to take me to the dog park. On Saturday I had so much fun! Mama took me to the dog park and we played and played for 3 hours!! I ran so fast and 3 different people mentioned how fast I run for a little guy! Then we played fetch and I was jumping to catch the ball. After we got to the car, I fell asleep in my car seat. Then on the way home, Mama noticed I was holding my front right paw up. She thought oh no, the paw!! It was hurt!! So she carried me inside. When she put me down, I couldn't walk on my right front paw. Then when she picked me up, I would yelp. So she put me down and I went to sleep. Mama called the ER Vet and the Vet called her back and said it sounds like a sprain, so she could wait til morning to bring me in.
Well... all night, when I'd wake up from sleeping, I would yelp when I moved my paw. So Mama stayed up most of the night watching me and cuddling me. Then she was going to take me to my old Vet who was really good but he wouldn't open til noon. So Mama found a new Vet that was open at 8 am. Mama took me straight there.
There was a really really nice Vet who looked me over really good, and she squeezed my legs and moved them. She could see I couldn't walk on my one leg but she said she really doesn't think it is broken. So she said that I probably sprained it. She said I could only have 5 minute walks for the next 10 days and to work up to longer walks slowly after that. And you know what the bad part is? I can't go to the doggie park for a while!! Maybe even 8 weeks! :( I don't know what I am going to do. She gave my Mama some anti-inflamatory to give to me this week. And it did make me feel a lot better.
The next day (monday) I played and played. Mama kept not playing with me and she kept trying to keep me from jumping but when she wasn't looking, I kept doing my gymnastics off the couch! But Mama kept making me calm down. Then because I had so much energy I didn't know what to do with, I started eating her Bichon book!! She took a video of it when she caught me. Bol. I knew I did something bad. I don't even chew books anymore but I was so bored!
Mama noticed tonight I was feeling a little sore in my leg so she is going to still watch me like a hawk.
Today, Mama was watching me play in the backyard with my favorite ball and then it bounced in her garden. I went in to get it but it got stuck between a rock and the fence, so I had to dig a little to get it out. Mama was getting a drink and then when she came back to the patio doors, she saw me in the garden and she said "No!!" but I didn't listen. I kept digging! I HAD to get my ball!! So by the time Mama could come out, I already got it and when I turned to look at her, Mama ran to get her camera! You can see the sight she saw in my photos here. She was laughing so much! I was so happy, until.... the dreaded bath! But now I am happy again. I can't wait until next time! It was fun digging in the garden. I've never had one. I am going to show Mama how doggies love digging up the garden. Bol!
