\"\"Meet Deacon – Ross Street Agency’s <\/strong><\/a>newest employee<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Well, I finally did it, I am now the owner of my very first fur baby as an adult. \u00a0I have been thinking about getting a dog for about a year and a half now, but it just never seemed to work out. \u00a0I have the perfect job to be a pet owner, as I work from home the majority of the time. \u00a0And I have a house with a small yard. \u00a0However, it just never seemed to work out. \u00a0I tried the adoption route and was never chosen by the pet rescue agency, probably because I don’t have a fence around my yard. \u00a0Who know’s maybe they just didn’t like me. \u00a0I answered several ads in Ontario and across the border for small dogs in the breed I was interested in and no one answered my emails or returned my calls. \u00a0I choose to believe it was because I hadn’t yet found the perfect dog for me.<\/p>\n

I was attacked by a large dog when I was a child, so I am not fond of large dogs – at all. \u00a0I also have allergies so I need a dog that is hypo-allergenic, and I do not like highly active\/hyper dogs that are destructive by nature. \u00a0So it took me a while to find out that there are a couple of breeds of dogs that would suit me and my lifestyle. \u00a0One is a Havernese and one is a Bichon Frise. \u00a0Once I had made this decision, now I just had to find one that I fell in love with. \u00a0This happened on August 4th, 2017.<\/p>\n

I was having dinner with some friends who are Bichon Frise owners and they said, “let’s just look and see if we can find a puppy for you”. \u00a0We spent some time on-line and I finally found one not too far away and in my price range. \u00a0We answered the ad, as the owner had posted a cell number to text and she got right back to me. \u00a0She had 2 bables, one black and white male and one white female. I told her I was interested in the white female. She said she had someone coming to see them in the morning who might want both of them, but if not she would let me know. \u00a0In the morning, she texted and said both her puppies were gone, but her mom had a litter of three from the same sire. \u00a0She sent me a picture of Deacon and his brother and sister, who were both black and white and once I saw him, I knew he was meant for me.<\/p>\n

My friends and I drove to Cambridge the next day to meet him and he came out of his crate, looked up at me and walked right over to me. \u00a0I picked him up and he snuggled right into my neck. I looked him in the eyes and asked him “Do you want to come home with me?” \u00a0He licked my nose and that was it. \u00a0He was mine. \u00a0Twelve days later I went to pick up my little fur baby (Dad – Bichon Frise and Mom – Bichon Frise and Shih tzu) and named him Deacon. \u00a0He turned 8 weeks old this past Sunday and he is perfect. He has lived with me now for one week.<\/p>\n

He is going to require some training, as he fell asleep on the job the other night, but that’s ok. \u00a0I think he will work out just fine. He is definitely a keeper!<\/p>\n
