If I Can't See You, I Can't Hear You





Emme is a very reluctant photo model. When she went to Obedience School, she learned that when I call her name, she should look at me. She almost always does that. Except when I am taking photographs. I call her name and she very purposely turns her head away from me. If she can't see me, she can't hear me. At least that is the puppy logic. She doesn't want to get her picture taken so she ignores me.

Sometimes when she does not want to obey a command she will very clearly turn her head away and not look at us. I guess this is the dog equivalent of ostriches putting their heads in the sand, if they actually do that. I can't see you. I can't hear you. I don't have to obey.

BOL (barking out loud) - how Bichon like - my Chloe does the same thing. I used to think she was deaf or had a hearing problem. Hold some food; the nose over rules all senses - she'll look!

Nevertheless, Emme is cute even with her head turned!

Emme is really cute. I have a white Bichon too and I really love her. Bichons need a lot of attention, they're very playful and loves to feel that they belong and being loved.
