New member of the family (dialup warning)
He's not actually coming home until February 7th, but he's officially adopted! No name yet, but I'm lobbying hard.

3. Thanks....
Would the cavity go away if he were ugly? Just wondering.

Hope it's no big deal!

6. Too much sweetness and cute
causes cavities. ;)

All puppies are cute. So are kittens. Good reason, they try our patience when they're little.

7. That's true...
We fostered rescued Bichons for a while, but that's tough on everything - the house, the furniture, the patience and mostly the heart.

4. He's a Bichon Frise
We lost our Bichon to cancer last year. I never thought I'd like little dogs, but they are great pets.

Our other needs a companion....he's been pretty lonely lately.

8. He is. Only 6 weeks old
He will always be kind of small. His Dad is 11 lbs, his Mom is 10.

12. Zaphod is a cool name!
It can't get vetoed until they come up with something cooler! x(

14. here's a hint my stepmom gave me. only give him distilled water to drink
and he won't have that rust stain around his eyes.

little dogs don't drink much and distilled water is cheap

he's a cutie! have fun with puppy, and hide the good shoes for a few months :hi:

15. I'll try that....
We always painstakingly cleaned their little faces with a cleanser from the vet. It works, bit it's time consuming. We've always given them filtered water from the fridge, but we'll give the distilled a try. Thanks!
