We were looking for a larger Malt because Sylphide is a rough and tumble 9. 5 lbs, just like Shrek's mom (even though both Sylphide's parents weighed in at about 5 lbs).

Shrek was home raised with a family in which both mom and dad were in the home, and his mom is exactly the same size and temperament as Sylphide--so he is so comfortable with her already. They are a perfect, perfect pair!!!

Sylphide was a little shocked to see a new little fellow come home, but she soon got over it! They are getting along great already, playing up a storm downstairs, sharing food, sharing toys, sharing laps. Ozzy has decided to ignore him for now, beyond the occasional sniff, in his usual fashion. Shrek's integration into our family should be seamless...

Shrek loves his new life. He slept like a baby on our bed with us, just waking up once to potty and have a drink, very content. Sylphide slept right next to him as if it were always so. When Shrek woke up, it was to climb over my husband and I with kisses and hugs. Sylphide, of course, had to jump in, so we had lots of Maltese love this morning. Right now they are both hanging out with me in my study. Life is good...
