Our Mitch
When we lost our fur brother
we said we'd never have another
- This is Mitch, he's three
We love him so, the little bugger
-
Now Bichons are a stubborn breedÂ
They often want what they don't need
Things go missing, my socks don't match
Hey presto! they're buried in the onion patch
-
At eight weeks he was very small
Nothing but a little snowball
Wherever we go he learned to follow
Our constant loyal little fur shadowÂ
-
Because he's one of us, our family
I'll let him speak you will see...
-
"These are my people, I love them all
I am their loving bouncy little fur ball
I'm not a Pug or a Labradoodle
I'm certainly not a bloody poodle!"
-
"This dog is for life, I'm going nowhere
If you're off to work I wanna be there
If you've had a hard day, I want to play
I'm a Bichon Frise I'm here to stay"
-
"They never had kids, that's why I'm here
To fill the void of childhood cheer
No leaving home, no graduation
I'm loving you now and for the duration"
-
Fifteen years will come and go
Then he'll make his final bow
Somewhere between three score and ten
Dancing in heaven, we'll play again.

Hi John,
What a lovely tribute to your cherished little Mitch. Â Such parallels in the lives of our dearly departed Nico and his darling little brother Cody (same mother, Nico was 1 1/2 years old when we got him his Cody). Â By the way, Cody has the exact same harness, color and all, that Mitch has. Â I hope that Mitch is with you for 17 or 18 years, as I thought our Nico would be. Â Cody will be 14 on Feb 27th. Â I'm writing a book of poetry on Nico's life and loss. Â It's so wonderful to find people such as yourself, whose little angels aren't pets, but their children. Â Well done. Â Welcome to Cosmo!
Peace and Love,

lovely write. Brought back memories. I can appreciate the love of a Bichon Frise, I had my "Mon Ami" for 8 beautiful years
Was sadly missed when she passed.
