Hey there, Pawsome Pals! Ready for the next chapter in our tail-wagging journey to find Mom a furry companion? Well, let’s be honest, the entire family is beyond excited about this heartwarming adventure.
After close to a year of searching for our new furry friend, an email arrived from a Dog Rescue Organization, and boy, did it change everything! The email started with something like this…
Let me share a little story about these cuties. Picture a family who wanted to sprinkle a bit of "magic" into their lives—so they let their Bichon mom and Cavapoo dad embrace the enchantment of puppy parenthood. They quickly realized that they wanted to give these precious furballs the best start in life possible and reached out to us to foster these little ones. Now, these little rascals are almost ready to find their forever homes, and we can't wait to introduce you to the magic they will bring.
So, could this breed mix prove to be the right companion for Mom? A smaller, gentle-in-nature lap dog as opposed to a service-minded dog? Might be just the right fit!
Lapdogs are typically small in size, with weights and heights that make them easily manageable for sitting on a person's lap. Studies have suggested that pet ownership, including having a lapdog, may be associated with lower levels of depression. The act of petting a dog can trigger the release of oxytocin, a hormone associated with bonding and stress relief. Their companionship and the daily interactions and responsibilities associated with pet ownership can contribute to a more positive mood and reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation.
I swiftly made an appointment, and the whole crew—Mom, with her two-hour morning ritual and all—piled into the car for the puppy meet-and-greet. On this day, I might've rushed Mom just a tad, but it was for a good cause, right?
