So as many of you know my wife is on disability, she does not work anymore, except to help me when she can with work from home. So I know that being home all the time and alone can take its toll on people. So I got her a small dog that she could have companionship with when I am not home, and yet small enough to be able to handle, bring before we raised and trained German Shepards for work. So I got her a Bichon Frise’ when are just playful bundles of joy. So when I got her one she wanted another one to have so they can play together, so I found the brother of the first one. Then the breeders contacted me and said that one of the sisters of the two I have was bought, and the owners for whatever reason was for sale. My wife asked me to buy it for her, so I was going out of town and not far from where the dog was. So I surprised her a went four hours away from where I was working to get this dog to surprise her. My wife was so excited! Well, recently we found out that the mother of these past away and the breeder had the last puppy from her and I just happened to find out from another person who has Bichons. So I contacted the breeder and he said he had one little 13 weeks male left from this lineage, so last week we made another trip to get the last Bichon from this lineage. So now we have four Bichons two males , two females. Which this lasted one in my little terrorist! He has so much energy that the older ones hide from him! But what makes I all worth while is seeing the joy it brings my wife. They bring her joy and make her have a sense of purpose despite her disability illness. I would buy 50 more if it brings her happiness and joy. Yes this new one wears me out as you can see, but to see my wife smile when they love on her is all worth it.

My favorite, local, Tiki bar has a long-running Connect Four tournament on Monday nights. The first and second place participants win gift cards. I don't know what my record is, but I've won first more than I've failed to finish first or second. The was some talk, I believe, at one point about banning me from entering but my habit of gifting my card to the newest player probably saved me there... 😁 I don't know why my top half and bottom half appear misaligned in the photo; I must have been standing oddly...
