Just when you think you know what's going on  ......
One of Bichon Rescue's foster boys, "Mr. Mom" , the sweetest, most gentle jumbo cuddlebug one could ever, ever meet .... has provided us with a different slant on who is adopting who. . . .

A few weeks back, Mr Mom's tender hearted foster mom brought home an abandoned kitten ......
. . .  and Mr. Mom/Leo has ADOPTED it!!   Mr. Mom cleans it as a mother cat would do ... and even lets it nurse off his underside bichon ringlets!!  (see photo at right)

But .. but ... I thought Mr. Mom was the one who was supposed to GET adopted .... ???

Well .....
 maybe we'll just have to adopt him out
with a special  "Free Gift Included" 
Inquire about adopting  "Mr. Mom"
 

ADOPTER? or ADOPTEE?
