Meet Rafa!

Rafa is our 2 year old Bichon Frise. He's still fairly young and therefore still going through his 'play-with-everything' stage, although he certainly does not like to play with other animals. He loves to play with little kids though, which makes him tons of fun to walk!

 

Welcome to the forum! Rafa is adorable. I like that first shot. I've seen my Jack Russell sit the same way as if she has too many legs. LOL

How much does Rafa weigh? Bichon Frise are pretty small, aren't they?

 

Rafa is cute! I had a friend who had the same type of dog. He was really nice, but he would bark at everything. Is Rafa the same way?

 

Thank-you! He seems to sit like that a lot, I'm not sure if it is because it is easier or if it's just more comfortable. I think it might have something to do with the hardwood floor. If he doesn't sit like that he tends to slip . Yes, he is really small. I'm not sure of his weight, though I should probably find out, I don't want to give him too much food for his breed.

 

Yes! Completely! He barks at every single thing that moves! Yesterday, I caught him barking at the television at a man who was bald, . I'm not sure if he's crazy or if he's just really excited to see everything, haha.

 

Rafa is cute! He looks like he was still a puppy, it makes me want to pet his little, furry head . I love small dogs. My Homer is small too and he bark as everything just like Rafa do. But he hates kids - it must be fun to go to the park with a dog who likes kids

 

Welcome to the forum and geez Rafa is so cute. Do you carry him around in a bag when you go shopping?

 

First of all welcome to the forum. Second of all Rafa is adorable! I just love his little face and those eyes. I just fell literally in love with him. Thank you for sharing these photos with us.

 

Welcome to both you and the very gorgeous Rafa!

 

Yeah, he's still pretty young. He turned 2 in June, so he's got a long ways to go, I hope. And trust me, when your dog likes kids as much as this one does, you won't want to bring him to the park, . He spends all his time trying to jump on them and lick their faces. LOL. I'm sure you can imagine how cute that is to me, but not so much to the parents.

 

Thank-you! No, I don't. I don't think he would stay in a bag, haha. He's not one for staying still, particularly where there's people. I can't even put him in the car without him freaking out at all the people we pass. Maybe one day I'll try it and tell you the tragedy story later,

 

Yes, I can imagine . But imagine parents faces when my cute, little Homer tries to bite their kids (fortunately he does that only if they treat him like a toy. He looks like one but he probably thinks that he is very big and scary )

 

LOL, I can only imagine! Although, I can also imagine how totally awkward it is for you to have to explain to the parents why their child is possibly being bitten, Rafa looks like a toy too. It makes them look really adorable but unfortunately it does mean that kids think that they are not going to bite them - even if that might not be the case. And I think all small dogs think they are big, I know Rafa does .
