I am Mommy to a Bichon Frise and I must say Bichons will get into and eat almost anything! They are close to the ground so they smell everything. Ulso the coat should be brushed at least once a day if not twice. I dont mean to sound mean but maybe this dog will be better in another home. It takes alot to have a Bichon if they would have done there research they might have realized that they are a lot of work.
