The Bolognese experience
You know you're a Bolognese owner when...
●That cotton-fluff coat that somehow never sheds on the couch but always looks like your dog just stepped out of a cloud, and the grooming routine that keeps it that way.
●The shadow thing. You stand up, they stand up. You walk to the kitchen, they walk to the kitchen. You go to the bathroom, they're outside the door. Always.
●Watching strangers try to guess the breed and cycling through 'Maltese? Bichon? Havanese?' before you get to explain this is something far more rare and far more Italian.
●That moment of absolute stillness when they lock eyes with you from across the room, no barking, no pawing, just a look that says 'Come sit with me. You know you want to.'
●The stubborn streak hidden inside all that sweetness. They'll learn a trick in two repetitions, then decide on the third that they'd rather not, thank you very much.
