I'm sorry longhorn. I went through this this time last year. It's rough.

What's so bad is that he might live, I just don't know. Doctor gave him a 70% chance to live when we took him in a few days ago but he's not doing well. I don't know what his chances are.

That's gotta be rough.

longhorn: I know this may be tough, but can you objectively share what kind of a dog a bichon is like?

My wife and I did some preliminary dog research and the bichon frise made it to the finals. But first-hand knowledge carries more weight for me than a Wikipedia entry about the breed.

Two of my friends also have bichons so I think I can be objective. They're great with kids. My dog has nipped at me twice in 11 years and he's never come close to growling/nipping anyone else. They have a lot of energy when they're young. They'll get very excited when you come home or when they meet new people. They don't shed. The only "problem" some of them have is the need for attention. When they're young someone has to be with them or they might develop attention seeking habits such as urinating in the house. Because they are small, they don't require a lot of walking. I think they're the perfect family dog.

That's awesome. Thanks for that. I'll probably copy and paste that in an e-mail to my wife.

One other question: Cost: I'm assuming you have to go through a breeder to get one?
