❤️ Goodbye, My Little Xiaoxiao 🌈🐾

2012–2026 | 14 Years Together

Today, my beloved Xiaoxiao passed away at the age of 17. 💔

Our story began in 2012, when I was working at a grooming salon in Shanghai. One day, someone brought in a little Poodle wearing a muzzle. His owner was moving and no longer wanted him, so they asked me to find him a new home.

He was about two years old. I decided to adopt him myself, never imagining he would stay by my side for the next 14 years.

Xiaoxiao was never an easy dog! 😂 He had a terrible temper and absolutely hated baths. Even though I’m a professional groomer, he managed to bite me dozens of times over the years!

He also went through so much. He had multiple orthopedic surgeries, and after his leg was fractured by an English Bulldog, several vets recommended amputation. I arranged for a leading veterinary orthopedic specialist to fly to Shanghai to operate on him. Thankfully, we saved his leg.

Despite everything, he enjoyed a peaceful and healthy senior life.

Yesterday morning, he was still eating normally. Today, his body suddenly grew weak, and he passed away naturally before the veterinarian could help him.

He was 17. I’m heartbroken, but grateful that he didn’t have to endure a long, painful decline.

From China to Canada, Xiaoxiao was with me through my entire youth.

So much changed over those 14 years, but he was always by my side.

I used to get so frustrated when he bit me during baths. Now, I wish I could have just one more chance to be bitten by him. 🥹

14 years ago, I gave you a home.

You gave me a lifetime of memories.

I couldn’t keep you for my entire life, but I was lucky enough to be there for the rest of yours.

Rest peacefully, my stubborn little boy. ❤️🌈

You will always be part of my heart.

Lulu’s babies are here! 🤍🐾

7 beautiful little babies — 4 girls 🎀 and 3 boys 💙

After staying up all night helping Lulu welcome her babies into the world, mama finally got a nice warm bath and is all clean and comfy again. 🛁🤍

Giving birth is hard work, but she still has to be a beautiful Bichon mama. 😂🤍

So proud of you, Lulu. You did such an amazing job!
Now it’s time to rest and take care of these seven little ones. 🥰

Welcome to the world, babies! 🐶🐾

Our first Canadian Bichon Frise National Specialty ❤️🇨🇦🐾

A little late sharing this — I came down with the flu on Saturday, the day of the National, and I’m only just starting to feel better. ❤️‍🩹

We made the trip to BC with Nico, Sara, and Candy — Nico’s granddaughter. Having two generations with us made our first National even more special. ❤️

No ribbons this time, but I’m so proud of all three of them. We came home with new experiences, lessons learned, wonderful memories, and so much gratitude.

A very special thank you to Wynne Wong for beautifully grooming and preparing Nico, Sara, and Candy in Toronto before our trip. ❤️

A heartfelt thank you to VeraChen_Groomer_YVR for Sara’s final grooming and show preparation in BC before she stepped into the ring. ❤️

Thank you Carmen Qiu for taking such wonderful care of Sky and Cesar while I was away, and an extra special thank you to my dear friend Cumulus Shiba , who came all the way from Winnipeg to care for the girls at home and my 17-year-old adopted Poodle. ❤️🐾

It truly took a village to make our first National possible. I’m so grateful to everyone who helped and supported us along the way.

Our first National is in the books — hopefully the first of many! ❤️.
