Our Chrissie was the most beautiful fluffy bichon and we loved her with all our hearts. From the first day she could do no wrong and was a pampered pet as all should be. We would love coming home because she was always on the back of the couch looking out the window just waiting for our return. Her love and loyality were unparalleled. Chrissie loved to play hide and go seek.  I would hide and she would sniff and run around looking in every room until she found me. Then I would giggle and laugh and that was her cue to run and hide.  She would always end up looking for me and we would procede to chase each other all aroung the house.  Her energy was endless. Even though she did not like bathtime, she would let me trim and brush and clean her ears and eyes with great patience. She always gave kisses when I would put her on the floor and let her know that we were done and that she was beautiful! All she knew how do do, was give love and she gave us tons. We could have never asked for a more perfect puppy and wonderful companion.  She kept me company when I was alone or upset.  She knew my every mood. Chrissie slept with us in our bed all of her life, and now there is an empty place there. We still turn over being careful not to bother her. Our beautiful Chrissie got cancer.  We discovered it during a dental cleaning.  It was in her throat and unseen during her checkup.  We did everything the specialists told us might help shrink the tumor and stop the spread. Sadly, the cancer proved to be too overwhelming for such a little girl and she passed away in my arms, at home, just before the vet got here.  She went the way she wanted...home with all of us who loved and adored her.  Chrissie was not a dog that enjoyed the outdoors, she would go out to "go" and then immediately turn and scamper back inside. We respected that and had her cremated and now she is here with us, just where she would want to be. We miss her terribly and are so spoiled by her unconditional love that we are truly lost. We had the perfect, most beautiful bichon and almost 15 wonderful years, and we are so thankful for those years. The house is quiet now and we are trying to adjust to life without her...and it seems impossible. We know that she is at peace now and we pray that she is waiting for us at Rainbow Bridge. Everyone should know the love and joy of a pet like our Chrissie.

CHRISSIE, WE LOVE YOU AND WILL MISS YOU FOREVER.
