Cerberus - three headed monster

I couldn't resist passing on this popular image I ran across on digg today:



Can anyone help identify the breed of these cute pups?

The credit for the last two photos goes to Anne Bustamante, and Laura Papuga. This is what happens when you have a cute zuchon puppy in the office.

Shichon being tired

Our shichon has bouts of energy... sometimes he's running around... sometimes he just likes to sleep. He's a dog who acts like a cat.

Grooming Disaster - part 1

Our poor little shichon puppy had to get all of his fur cut off! Yes, it is middle of January, and despite my pleading and strictly against my suggestions, my wife took him to the groomers and had him completely shaved.

See for yourself:

Now after the grooming:



Granted he actually looks like he has legs, but he is COLD! Especially since it dropped to 10 degrees Fahrenheit in Chicago a week after all his fur was gone. Just see how comfortable hi is in this video of him (with his fur) frolicking around in the snow.

Now there were reasons for this. Apparently Shichons (and I suppose other small dogs like the Bichons and Shitzus) need special grooming brushes etc, and his fur was 'rasta' like matted. But more on this in Grooming lessons part 2.

Christmas and Hanukkah cards featuring Monkey

Official Monkey Holiday Cards

A holiday greeting for the chosen ones.


And finally another traditional Christmas card with a very cute puppy in it. The shichon bichon puppy really looks like a teddy bear dog and makes fantastic holiday cards because he takes adorable puppy pictures.

Groomed Shichon. He had hair covering his mouth and mouth so we sent him for his first puppy grooming and they cleaned him up. What do you think?
