She is almost 6 months old and she have been with us since Sep 4th.
If you remember ( or not J), back in July when I first posted, I was having my doubts about getting a dog, since I work full time. I agonized over it for months, but then both me and my DD really wanted a dog, and finally I thought that yes, it is not ideal for the dog to be left alone, but it also not ideal for kids to be raised by nannies instead of their mother, but working full time did not stop me form having kids. So I decided I would take a chance with a dog and we will find a way to make this work.
I”m so glad I did. She is wonderful! Just totally incredible dog. How could such a small, fluffy creature pack so much affection, liveliness, good will and I don’t know – goodness? She is so totally loving and trusting! There is not a mean or aggressive bone in her body. She likes people, sweet and patient with kids, playful and friendly with other dogs. She just love the whole world.
And she is brilliant. I mean – I remember post here sometimes ago discussing whether Maltese were intelligent breed. Well, if all of them are like Maggie, I’d say that Maltese are smarter than some of our elected officials. She got housebroken in 2 weeks, she learned to pee on command in 2 days!! And in Russian, mind you J. She knows tons of commands already ( and I did not specifically trained her, she just learned)
I had to make a confession to you ladies. Back to when I was reading the forum, while I was still researching the breed, I kind of thought that some of you go a bit over the top with your adoration of your dogs, but now I totally get where are you coming from. There is really something special about Maltese.
I have to say – I think she is a tremendous credit to her breeder – Dian from Midis Maltese. She obviously knows what she is doing. Maggie’s personality is just perfect. And while I was prepared to put up with a lot of day to day grooming , she is amazingly easy to deal with. I”m a working mother, so I”m not up to elaborate hair care for my kids OR my dog, but Maggie never mats, does not have any tear stains and looks lovely with once a 2 weeks bath. Perfect dog, seriously!!
So, here we are. As you can see - I’m totally besotted with my little dog
My daugther adores her, and my BF who is your 100% opposite of a dog lover even admits that she is very cute – “for a dog” J
I have to say that there is not a doubt in my mind that the reason that I ended up with Maltese is this forum. I learned so much here. About the breed, the personality, habits. Not buy a dog from BYB, how to find a good breeder, the names of the good breedersJ What to feed, how to paper train. Which pee pads to choose J, what books to read... You name it, I learned it from you ladies. Thank you so very much.
I am so glad so I have this forum to ask many questions that I know I will have
