This is Daisy's first day and she is settling in nicely. Lilly, our eleven year old Bichon is not entirely sure what to make of the new "baby" even though she made the 2 hour trip to the outskirts of Atlanta to pick Daisy up this morning. They played in the backyard for about 30 minutes after they got here.
Daisy seems to like the elevated bed and Lilly has moved to her favorite position lying on the air duct outlet.Daisy & Lilly.JPG
 

Ohhh, you're so lucky! What a cute little puppy next to the bigger Lilly.

It seems they have bonded if they played in the yard for so long. You're in for a lot of fun watching these two!

I have a cute little Shih Tzu; the light and comfort of my life. I wish I could get a companion for her, but condo living makes it difficult.

Good luck with Daisy! šŸ˜€

This is Daisy at the six month point and just after my wife finished grooming her. She is actually pretty cooperative except for the part where she gets her ears cleaned.

Now Pecos...I'm sure if Daisy could ask, she would say to you both that she would luuuurve a little holiday with her aunt Holly in England .... now I'm sure you couldn't refuse that gorgeous little face who is silently begging to come for a few years a little vacation :D:love:
 
Hollydolly,

Daisy and I discussed this matter a few minutes ago and she is "all in" once this virus goes away. The older Bichon, Lilly, reminded me that her Daddy was "Champion Manoir's Shot In The Dark" who came over to compete at Westminster in 2008. At the time, he was Grand Champion in the UK.

But while he was here, his passport expired and he stayed with another breeder in the Atlanta Ga area until his travel documents were straightened out and he could return to England. While here, he was breed with Champion Lilywhite's Geez Louise and one of the puppies was our Lilly. I had no idea that dogs have passports. How does that work anyway?

Lilly was originally destined for the show ring until her owner fell and broke her hip. When we got her she was already five months old and a real sweetheart. Lilly is helping us bring up Daisy, and is, of course only teaching her "good habits."

Lilly wonders if her Daddy is still alive and can we work him into the visit

We get so much pure joy from these Bichons! Attached is a photo of Lilly at one year.Lilly at 1 year.jpg

awwwww. Aunty Holly, loved hearing lilly's story about her daddy and his visit over here in 2008...and auntie saw "Champion Manoir's Shot In The Dark" in pictures on the internet... and he was very handsome indeed.. :D

...and yes Doggies have to have Passports now to come into the UK, so Lillly look after your little sister Daisy and your daddy until all is well in the world again, and then come back over and show everyone how beautiful you are...šŸ„°
 
I once made a Bichon out of wire coat hangers and fluffy white yarn! Unfortunately, my Bichon wasn't nearly as much fun!

You can then "brush out" the yarn to make it all fluff and trim as desired! (-:

This isn't the way I did mine: https://www.thriftyfun.com/tf26523514.tip.html

I did mine as in the photo of the finished dog with straight yarn and a latch-hook,

My Bichon, LilBear is my third one, and he is 10 yrs. old now. I had two Bichons in the 1990's- early 2000's .. I got hooked on them when I first saw the breed at the Westminster Dog Show. .. JR, who won best in show, lived up the street until his death.

They are a lot of maintenance, but so worth it.
