Our HUGE puppy

So here are some pictures of our sweet Bichon puppy Obie Won Ki-nobie...spelled phonetically of course:) He is much bigger than we anticipated but we are in love with every inch of his enormous size!

All the Bichon's we saw on the internet were a lot smaller...Obie is definately at the top of his length-range...if there is such a thing... and probably at the top of his weight category. He is a very sturdy dog and withstands the kid's(mainly Nate)playful attitudes...which was something we wanted!

Don't you just want to hold his face in your hands and kiss him! Well...probably not all of you:)!

The only thing that really bothers us is how he treats the Granny-dog(lovingly nicknamed by our friends the Brokamp's). Cricket is 14. She can't play with Obie like he would like...but he sure tries! He teases her, bullies her, nips her, etc. She will bark back and show her teeth and then cough like an old man. It is funny but we don't let him tease her too much. They rarely are snuggled like this so I thought I would snap the picture.

There is no telling what Cricket is thinking here. They say dogs live in the moment. They dont' remember the past. So maybe Cricket forgets from day to day how she gets tortured from this abomnible fur dog and enjoyed the warm body next to her.
