Awwww!! they are great. My parents both have dogs that are dear to my heart too. My bro and sis! Mercedes, who lived with my mom just crossed the RB a week ago to the day - she was truly special. We adopted her when I was 12. She was 14 years old. She was a Bichon. Topper lives with my dad and he is also a Bichon. He's 7 and he is extra silly, but I love, love, love him.
