Suzie's mom says: Don't let this smile fool you. She was born on
October 19, 2005, and is full of energy, love and mischief. It has
been a real joy to have her in our lives.
I love the "little ball of fluff" photo where she's sitting on a cushion or a pillow (3rd photo). How adorable! She's got lots of personality!

Suzie is VERY Cute, Looks very playful. And I think you meant to say she was born in 2005 not 2006.
But thats ok we still love the pic, Thanks for Sharing :)
In addition, Bichons sometimes get rust-colored feet because their saliva and tears turn their fur dark. My little girl used to get brown feet from chewing on her toes when they itched. She was the best dog I've ever known and truly my baby. She died at age 10 (we had to put her to sleep) several years ago and I will never get over it. I love my other pets, but no animal (or person) will ever fill that space she left in my heart. I love seeing people with bichons, but it always makes me terribly sad, too. Enjoy your sweet pea.
Bichons and some other dogs suffer from tear staining. Their eyes tear and turn the fur a rust color. Its easy to remove there are many products you can get to clean it up
SOOOOOOOOOOOO Cute!!!!! She reminds my daughter of the snuggle fabric softner bear. It does though because of the cheeks. You have a beautiful pet that will be your friend for a very long time. I didn't know that their tears and saliva made their fur change colors. That was very interesting to find out. I really just thought the puppy was absolutely a cutie. I was hoping Julia would've had more time to comment on this breed. I love her stories so much.
I found an all natural product that completely gets rid of those ugly tear stains. I beleive their website is http://www.PETPURITY .com the product is called Purifeye. You just sprinkle on their food. Its amazing because I have tried every other product and nothing worked. This does the job well.
having three bichons i can confirm that they are lovely little "people".
0;don't worry about the tear stains- they are commen to most breeds of dogs.
we use a natural and holistic product that you add to their food called angels delight
you can read about it here

good luck and ignore the rude comments
Don't use purifeye to treat dog tear stains. It contains Hops which are VERY dangerous. They affect the central nervous system, cause seisure, hyperthermia, vomiting, chest pain, etc. they also contain phytoestrogens that affect estrogen receptors. The company says it is in ver small amounts, but you give it every day. Don't take a chance. Poisons like arsenic in small quantities don't kill us in small quatities either.
Actually, I strongly disagree. I have been giving purifeye to both of my dogs for the past ten months and just took them to get their annual check up and blood work and they are perfectly healthy! Also, I had made sure that my holistic vet approved the product before I even started to give it to them - and clearly, he did. It is a great way to keep the stains away!
sorry bichonbaby- LuvBichons is right about hops being fatal to some dogs. Google "dogs hops" if you need more advice.
Sadly blood test are not absolutely comprehensive.
I f you want a safer alternative then try Angels Delight form Bichon Hotel.
Good luck
