My Yorkie Bichon Mix

Always looking at something…

Over the last year, many people who have visited our blog have commented the same thing….our pup looks just like yours! We’d love to see pictures of your little yorkie-bichon…and post them on our blog! If you have a yorkie bichon…whether he could be Jacks twin or not…please email them to us… and we will post them on here! Valariecostello at gmail.com or Sjcostell at yahoo.com

We have also just set up a way for visitors to subscribe to our blog…so you can easily find out when we have added new stuff. Just go to the top right of this page, where it says Follow Jack and add your email address.  We are hoping to get some new pictures, video and info on here very soon…so stayed tuned… And just for a little teaser….Jack has finally mastered… ROLL OVER!!

Like all dogs, Jack has a mind of his own and it’s one funny mind at that!  I wish we were constantly taking pictures of Jack because we miss great photo opportunities.  Imagine a picture of him trying to jump onto our bed and not quite making it or him tumbling feet over head trying to stop when he saw something interesting.  He is a very curious and energetic dog at times and at other times he is so docile we like to call him our “Poseable Puppy”…we can literally put him in any position we want and he’ll stay.   For those that want to know what kind of demeanor a Yorkie Bichon puppy dog has… it’s a kind, friendly dog who loves to be chased around the kitchen table but at the same time beat you to the couch in order to sit on your lap.  They are very smart dogs as well and can quickly get a treat out of a kong toy by throwing it up in the air and letting it hit the ground.  Jack amazes us at times.

Hope you enjoy these funny pictures of some of the crazy things our doggy does.

Sometimes we forget Jack is a dog, because he acts so much like a cat.  Or should we say he sleeps so much like a cat. We put a blanket on the desk because he likes to sleep up there when we are at the computer. He likes to lie on the window sill and look out the window, or curl up into a little ball and go to sleep.   He also likes to sleep on the the back part of the couch on the cushions, or on your lap if you are also on the couch. Or sometimes we will find him on the floor by the door sleeping in direct line of the sun. Not sure if all yorkie bichons have sleeping habits that are more like that of a cat, but Jack certainly seems to.  Our dog the cat. He is the cutest thing.

Jack loves his squeaky toys.  He’ll run around the house holding his favorite red football in his mouth and every few steps press it against the floor just to squeak it, all while running at full speed.   The red football toy is probably his favorite right now because he has destroyed every other toy we have given him.  His record is 10 seconds from the time we took it out of the package.  The toy package said it was for strong chewers…HA!!

The gallery below is sort of a “Toys of the Past” montage

These pictures of our Yorkie Bichon mix, Jack, where all taken the first 2 weeks we had him.  The picture of Jack in the crate and eating are his first moments inside our home on the night I brought him home from the airport.  He would not eat any hard food, so I tried soft food with no success… and then some watered down soft food… still with no luck.  Finally, we had to feed him with a food syringe.   I think he was just nervous and in shock from a long day.  My wife and I live in New Jersey and Jack flew in from Minnesota, arriving around 6pm.  He was so cute!

Hope you enjoy the pictures.
