The Bichon Buzz

When I was a teenager we got our first dog, a bichon-frise. It's a little white dog that doesn't shed and is rather cute. One of the funny things about bichons is they do what is called a "bichon buzz." All-about-bichon-frise.com says "Once in buzz mode, the Bichon will start running frantically (usually in circles) at full speed throughout their home or yard...The buzz can last anywhere from 30 seconds up to 5 minutes. These sudden bursts of energy are usually not predictable and can happen anytime or anywhere."

I have noticed that Lilly is starting to show some bichon buzz tendencies. Every night as we make dinner she turns on some Bach and runs in circles over and over again until we tell her to stop or she falls over. If we watch her she wont go non-stop, but it still amuses me.



No, I'm not calling my darling child a dog. I just think toddlers can have similar traits. She would love a bichon.

Thank you for posting this! It is confirmation that my girls are normal. Everyday they spend a LOT of time running circles around our couch, screaming out whatever snippets of songs they can think of. I love it.

LOL, I love it too! How brilliant that she is combining marathon training with classical music! She is very well rounded.

I love that! If you put it on repeat will she run all day? That is better than tv!

I really like how she directed the cut off there at the end. A future conductoress.
