I brought Fargo home on Saturday, May 19, 2001.  His family was moving to Florida and couldn't take him, so I drove into Brooklyn to pick him up. 
Fargo is just a perfect little dog!  He completely ignores the cats, loves to play with Edgar, and absolutely adores me!  In all my experience with bringing home animals, he has fit into the family the easiest, and with the least disruption.  I usually put new babies in the bathroom by themselves for a bit, so everyone can adjust to the new smells, but with Fargo it wasn't necessary!  He's between four and five years old, but he still acts like a puppy.  He's curious about everything, not afraid of anything, and does everything with enthusiasm - whether it's chasing a ball, playing with Edgar, or just lying down for a nap (he kind of throws himself down, with a thump and a big sigh).

Right now, his hair's pretty short (I'm told he had a close encounter with some tar), but his groomer says that he's a beautiful Bichon when he's in full coat.  I think he's adorable the way he is (and easier to take care of!), but I think I'll let the hair on his head grow, just to get the soft, rounded Bichon look.

Fargo sleeps with us on the bed at night, right by my feet.  He doesn't seem to be bothered by my tossing and turning, and when I get up during the night, he rolls over so I can rub his belly before I fall back asleep.

I love watching Edgar and Fargo play together.  They get so excited!  First Edgar chases Fargo, then they turn around and Fargo chases Edgar.  Edgar jumps up on the bed (Fargo can't quite make it), then off the bed and down the hallway...a quick trip to the bathroom water bowl and they're off again.
Two happy puppies out for a walk.
"Please don't make me go out on that wet grass again!"
Fargo in a serious mood.
