Happy Mother's Day from Karen and your grand-Bichon, Scoops!
This is a special posting in honor of my mother, Marge Hollish, who — beyond being a good mom to me and my sister, Christine — has been a great “mom” to our family’s pets. One pet who particularly loved Marge was Max, a Bichon Frise. In general, he was a horribly ill-tempered creature, and would growl or snap at whomever came near.
The singular exception to his nastiness, however, was Marge, whom he loved with all his little heart. He followed her around the house and listlessly lolled around when she went out of town to visit her nieces and nephews (who also love Marge ardently).
It is a great testament to Marge’s lovability that Max, who passed away several years ago, was fond of her and only her. Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! I can’t wait to see you in July.

That was a very nice Mother’s Day tribute.
I’ll never forget when I had to watch Max-dog for an entire month when Mom and Dad vacationed in Texas. For what seemed like a week, he sat by our front door whining and waiting for Mom’s return.
Bud’s five-year memorial is today. I still remember him fondly and couldn’t have asked for a better companion.
