My late dog Floyd (Shih - tzu x Yorkie) who loved to run off with my slippers when I got home.

Dolly (Shih tzu - Chi) who thinks she's human, likes to sit on my lap and lean back, like a Meerkat until she falls backwards, also unravels my wool if I leave my knitting around.

My grand dog Rose (BIchon x Chi) who is tiny, barks a lot and takes on any dog that dares to breathe the same air as her.

During my first marriage I had 2 dogs but sadly don't have any pictures.

Blackie was a Heinz 57, her mother was a Lab/Collie cross and her father was a Spaniel cross, so she was a real mixture.

Spike was a Lab/German Shepherd cross, he looked just like a yellow Lab.

Since I've moved here I've had 3 dogs. First 2 were Golden Retrievers and the current one's a Lab....

Just commented on another thread about designer dogs got me to thinking about my lovely little Bichon Frise, he's almost 11 years old and an absolute delight.

He has such a great character and little traits which Bichons are known for like the 'Bichon Blitz' where he will run up and down the stairs and round the house like a bullet, he's crazy but always makes me laugh.

He does something that we call 'broken necking' which is he will sleep in his bed with his neck almost the wrong way round, I don't know how he does it but I remember first time he did it I was horrified LOL

He also does what we call 'walling' where he likes to get as near to the wall as possible and lay on his back with his legs spread eagle showing his rudies, well he would if he had some

Another thing he does which is really odd, I will open the back door for him to come in and he just stands at the door looking at me and doesn't come in, I will then go to close the conservatory door and he will come in, no idea why he does that but I always play him at his own game

I've added a couple of pictures

Tell me about your dog and any traits and how they make you laugh. I love to read about peoples animals. Lets see soe pictures
