This week’s ProHo* Cutie(TM) comes courtesy of Jose, who writes: “This is Bob the bichon, the pooch Jessie and I got at the Brooklyn shelter last November. The little guy only stands 10.5″ at the whithers, and thinks he owns the streets of Prospect Heights. Ah, the Napoleonic Complexes of tiny dogs!”
From the Dog Breed Information Center:
“Used as watchdogs and to perform tricks, this breed is competitive and obedient. Like a lot of smaller breeds, the Bichon may be difficult to housebreak. The Bichon Frise was one of the “Yuppie Puppies” very popular in the 1980’s. As a result many were carelessly over-bred and some Bichon lines can be snippy. When seeking a Bichon be sure to find a reputable breeder to get the best personality traits this breed has to offer.”
Jose responds: “So true; so true — except for the housebreaking part. Bob came to us housebroken. The little booger can hold it for 24 hours when necessary.”
ALERT! The cutie reserves are dangerously low. Please to be sending a picture of your cutie (human or animal) here: [email protected]
*ProHo: A funny parody of SoHo that we use, in jest, to joke non-seriously about how ridiculous it would be if somebody actually referred to Prospect Heights as ProHo. Get it?
