My boys, Niko Andy and Charlie are without a doubt my best friends and companions. They offer loyalty, unconditional love and lots of doggie kisses anytime day or night.

Niko has been pretty sick for the last 2 weeks, in fact he was even tested for early kidney failure. It turned out to be a nasty bacterial infection and he is now improving daily, with the most recent change in medications, thank goodness. However this made me think about the important role these little guys play in my little world.

The Bichon Frise happens to be my breed of choice, however dogs come in every size, shape, temperament and color or even a mix of breeds. Always choose a breed that is right for you and your family.

Are you looking for a best friend? There are so many wonderful dogs out there just waiting for their own human and forever homes. Check your local animal shelter, rescue groups or Pet Finders for a list of available pets for adoption.

The Bichon Frise has an incredible temperament and offers humans a perpetual lifelong active, playful puppy-like behavior. They are truly the Peter Pan of breeds! To find a list of Bichons available for adoption visit: Small Paw Rescue.

I don't in any way mean to ignore the other great pet and companion the cat, also a wonderful addition to any home.
