A New year is upon us and that means getting more exercise as the vet let us know our little Luna needs to drop some pounds. The weather right now is very rainy where we are and Luna does not like being out in it and her coat gets all matted. I have been trying to look online for some options and found these rain coats. I also found an umbrella that attaches to the leash. I am not sure which option is better. What do you all do with your Bichons when they really don’t want to go out in the rain?
‘Tis the season for Christmas fun and joy and toys for our Bichon Frise dogs. We were just at Petco and they have a really sweet selection of adorable Christmas/Holiday themed toys and clothing for dogs. We just couldn’t resist this sweet Gingerbread Man toy as it has a bottle inside and our Luna just loves to play with toys that have a nice and crunchable bottle inside them. Gingerbread mans head has a squeaker and squeaks and the outside is a plush type material with Velcro closure in back so you can remove/replace bottle. Our Bichon Frise Luna is pictured here playing with her new Petco Gingerbread Man toy!!
As we get ready to prepare the annual Thanksgiving feast, we must remember that our Bichon Frise dogs also love to participate in the celebration and especially in the eating part of the holiday but not all of Thanksgiving foods are healthy or safe for our Bichons. Here is a dog safe Thanksgiving meal all ready to be enjoyed by our Bichons “Merrick Dog Thanksgiving Day Dinner” and this Thanksgiving Day Dinner is prepared with Turkey, Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, Green Beans, & Granny Smith Apples. Details here. Happy Thanksgiving everyone, may you all be surrounded by your family, friends, and Bichon Frise’s!!
HI everyone. With the holidays just around the corner and for those of us that make a Gingerbread House each year, why not make that Gingerbread House with a “twist” this year and make it a Gingerbread Dog House in honor of your fluffy Bichon Frise!! You could make two versions of the Gingerbread Dog House if you are up for it…one version could be for humans of course and help you use up left over Halloween candy and the second version could be Bichon Friendly and made from dog treats and goodies…. I will look for a dog friendly recipe and post it up. Cheers everyone!!
Hi everyonee, Happy Halloween! What is your Bichon Frise dressed up as today?? Here is an adorable buzzing bee Halloween Bichon Frise costume. Send us your Bichon Frise Halloween pictures as we would love to see your dogs all dressed up. Remember….only “safe” dog friendly treats allowed today on Halloween for your Bichon Frises.
We get asked all the time by Bichon Frise lovers where can they find some Bichon Frise themed salt and pepper shakers. Today, we came across these lovely Bichon Frise S & Ps and think they would make a great addition to any Bichon Frise breed collection as well as would look fabulous on your dining room table. These really are so cute and they are very reasonably priced too. These would make a great gift. Details Here.

Having recently moved to sunny wine country in Northern California we are encountering many new things and one of the newest is that there are lots of folks that are Vegan or Gluten Free aside from many things being Organic and Natural. Having just moved from the South where everything is pretty much steak, deep-fried, and potions bigger than you can handle, this whole thing with special diets (whether necessary, a new way of life, or just a fad) are very hip happening in our new town. One of the most interesting is that there are even dogs on Gluten Free or Vegan diets.
Growing up we were taught that dogs are meat eaters and should eat meat and not much grains. Today however, your dog it seems can eat exactly the way you eat and still remain healthy if you are on a Gluten Free or Vegan diet. Our Bichon Frise Luna currently is on a Purina diet where she gets her healthy helping of dry dog food and we give her healthy snacks like fresh asparagus, broccoli florets, carrots, apples and she really likes baby bok choy too. Is your Bichon Vegan or Gluten Free? We would love to hear your thoughts on this. An interesting article to read on this can be found here.
I am in the midst of changing my office around; tossing out old files, binders, etc… when I began looking for Bichon Frise themed office accessories. So far, I have found this gorgeous Bichon Frise paperweight that is designed in the English style and has french cut glass and though it would look so nice holding down papers or stacked upon some books. Details here.
Bichon Frise dogs don’t shed and they don’t have much dander and most people that have dog allergies are informed that the Bichon Frise is an ideal breed but a recent article stating that Bichon Frise dogs and a few other reportedly hypoallergenic breeds are really not all that hypoallergenic. What the study says it found was that hypoallergenic breeds produce no fewer allergens than shedding dog breeds. Read the article here.
