Here is a great idea we came across; take your old sweater and fashion it into an incredible dog bed for your Bichon. Our Luna loves rolling around our clothes and sleeping on top of my husband’s shirts and pants so this ‘sweater bed’ is perfect in that she has a cozy familiar smelling place to rest and it is hers. Also, what a great way to put those old sweaters to use. Imagine taking the old ugly Christmas sweater and making up a bunch of “Christmas” themed beds!! We got the idea here–
Ear cleaning is part of grooming and having a healthy and happy Bichon. When we lived in the South, the humidity would cause our Bichon – Luna to get ear infections and that would require a trip to the vet along with us coming home with vet ear cleaner and meds. Luna does not particularly like having me clean her ears…..I don’t know if it is itchy or what as her little foot gets going like when I find a “itchy” spot for her. Either way, it is important that her floppy Bichon ears remain healthy. I found this article and and ‘how to’ on cleaning ears and thought it was pretty helpful. However, I always recommend talking to you vet about anything you will give or use on your Bichon to find out if it is safe and the proper ways to administer it.
Get that old TV out of your basement or parent’s garage and with some paint and fabric you can turn it into a custom dog retreat. Wouldn’t your sweet Bichon Frise just love her own little puppy dog hide-away!! We found this project here for Before and After: Old TV to Dog Bed
