Thanks for all the great ideas,and congrats to all of you too! We decided to buy each other half of another furry little freind. Yes I did get off very easy here, but. Well no butts about it! We still keep in touch with the breeder we were lucky enough to find for our 2 bichons. It seems she just had another litter, and the first born is demonstating many of the traits our little guy has. He was quite the handful for about the first year, but he grew up to be quite a charecter! Lil guy is about the craziest lil feller I ever seen. He even tried to climb a tree! And he howls like a wolf every time the empire carpet commercial come on the tv.
