A Bichon Frise Sits Like a Snowball Next to a Wrecked Teddy Bear

AI imagebichon frisecaught in the actteddy bear

A fluffy white Bichon Frise sits on the carpet like a snowball with eyes, round and dark and a little startled, with a small, nervous smile. Beside the dog lies a brown teddy bear that has been torn open, its white stuffing scattered in clumps across the floor. A sofa and a plush toy sit behind, and the whole scene is calm except for the bear's missing insides.

Bichon Frises are cheerful, playful little dogs with a curly white coat that looks like a cloud. They are affectionate, social, and love being the center of attention, and they do best with plenty of company and play. Their coats need regular brushing and trimming to prevent mats, and they can be prone to boredom if left alone for long stretches. Soft toys are fun, but supervise play, since stuffing and plastic parts can be a choking risk. If your dog swallows stuffing, call your vet. A sturdy toy made for chewing may be a better choice for a determined little shredder.

The teddy is out of the game, but the Bichon looks as bright and cheery as a snowman in the sun. With a little sewing, the bear might even be back soon, and the Bichon will probably take credit for the makeover. Soft toys come and go, but a face this happy will always be welcome in the living room.
