Good evening, one and all.  I'm Brandy Hercules, and I'd like to spend a few minutes encouraging my fellow Bichons to step up and do what they can to make this a better world.  We have to be very strong and courageous.  The world is really in a mess!  Love and kindness are sadly lacking. 

What can we do?? 

We must continue being the sweetest, gentlest, most loving dogs in the world.  It isn't easy with all the neglect and abuse that's going on, but we must try.  Reach out beyond your family and try to show strangers what great pets we are and how much  love we can bring to a lonesome heart. 

We must raise our puppies with a clear sense of who they are and what their purpose is in this world.  We are here to provide the love and comfort that many people never receive from their parents or friends.  If everyone received this love and comfort in their lives, it would be a much gentler world.  This is a great opportunity for us.  Pay special attention to children. 

We must be vigilant and aware of what's going on with our owners.  Pay attention to what makes them happy or sad.  Know what they like so you can comfort them when they are sad.  Be ever ready to celebrate their happiness.  I believe that our love and kindness will be reflected in our owners and they will be kinder and more loving because of us. 

Our job is a big one and not easy.  Making the world a better place is a huge undertaking and we are only small dogs.  But we have big hearts and unlimited love and great ambition. We can make a difference!
