These  10 humour books are not the usual *How to look after a Bichon*  manuals - they are
 *How to survive being owned by Bichons - whilst still appearing reasonably normal to your neighbours and friends! *

They certainly contain plenty of the aah factor! 

Here's Miss Abigail - our first bichon - who kindly but firmly trained us to become good bichon parents.

 

Delphine in Singapore tells us that Ed has to read  to Bianca every night :-)


*Whatever the season, when you order Joan's books for yourself, you might order a few for  gift giving and they are easy to post.  You don't have to love a Bichon to love Joan's books.  Anyone with a heart and sense of humor will find themselves laughing and crying while reading of her adventures with her beloved Bichons*  ...Pam in NM.

 

Author Joan Briggs has previously written film scripts,  novels, a history of America for schools, TV critiques, regular conservation and countryside articles.

I recently ordered the entire set.  They came all the way from Merry Old England within a very few days, beautifully packed for shipping.  I was so excited when I saw the set, but unfortunately was too busy to sit down and read.  I had to go to Nashville on a business trip, so I packed one in my purse and one in my suitcase.  As soon as I got to the airport I pulled out the then latest book, "Bichons...Bless 'Em".  I nearly embarrassed myself by laughing out loud and, at times, shedding a few tears.  I devoured the book.  I could hardly wait to unpack at the hotel to start on the other book.  I keep one in my car so that when I am waiting somewhere I can pick it up and read.  They are all wonderful and I am enjoying them so much.

       Joan - thank you for sharing your babies with me.  Derek - thank you for the pictures which speak a thousand words.  I don't know when I have ever
enjoyed anything as much as I have enjoyed those books these last few days.

Laura, the Bichon Frise, My New Home, by Teresa R. Allen  is an endearing story about how Laura is rescued and becomes a member of a new family.  She overcomes fears of being in a new family, and learns to develop trust from her new owners.  This is a wonderfully illustrated book that every child should read.  It helps children realize that animals feel, think, and give love.  Laura takes you on her journey into her new family as she realizes that she is loved.  This is one of six books about Laura, her journeys, and lessons learned.
