[Brinkley & Neyland's Mom]

Today we took Brinkley around town with us and we were out looking at some sheds. A man in a landscaping truck was there and stopped us and said...."that's a maltese..right?" I was SO excited..because he had already been called a poodle twice!!!

We got to talking and he oohed and gooed all over Brink...and told us that he had FOUR maltese. He showed us pictures on his phone...

this manly landscaping man!!! I was so LOVING it! He told me that two of his he got FREE from a local lady that was getting rid of one of her females that she bred. He got her to throw in a cute 8 month old male...he said the female was in bad shape...had only lived in a kennel and they were having to get her adjusted. He said her teeth were really bad and stuff too.

Anyway, the point of my story was running into a "manly-man"...like Joe....

who had pictures of his fluff-butts on his phone! He stood and talked to us for 20-30 minutes about them...I thought it was great!!!

My husband told him that he and I should get together and talk dogs...because we were both obsessed!

Ha.....

Ha!!! I have yet to meet a man in person who owns a malt let alone FOUR! A lot of guys I know make fun of my 'girly' dog, but by the end of the day, Peanut has melted their heart too!

Hahaha sounds like my Daddy. :lol: He's sooooo in love with Lucy. He'll get on the floor with her and let her lick his face, or go down to the golf course or beach with her and just run around. He also has a claim on all morning walks with her

He looks so cute holding a light pink leash with a bouncy, 3 pound dog next to him. He also has pics on his cell - I'm sure if he saw someone walking with a maltese, he'd whip it out.

Good for the landscaper (and Jessica's dad)!! It's a REAL man that doesn't give a rat's a$$ about how things "look" and can show how they feel without fear of being embarrassed.

One of the things I love about my husband (linebacker shaped guy) is that he doesn't think twice about schlepping my pocketbook around so my hands are free to shop in stores and such. He proudly carries Beastie around in one of those front packs. Ya gotta LOVE guys like this!!

 

[charmypoo]

He sounds like a wonderful man. Not only does he have 4 Maltese, it sounds like he rescued them

 

[Caesar's Mommie]

Lol thats awesome!

[Brinkley & Neyland's Mom]

I always love your posts!

How cool is that, Traci!! I hope this time you guys exchanged phone numbers and planned a doggie play date.

 

[Sylphide and Shrek's Mom]

Oh this is a fun thread! My husband is a manly mix--he looks very "manly" --and is a classical ballet dancer. He likes opera, classical music, fine wine, a good cigar - and- his Maltese babies! He shows their photos more that I do...and takes them to visit his coworkers and his students! As for dresses and bows--he's already asking if Barkin Dog Clothes has stuff in plaid for Shrek, LOL!

 

[ButterCloudandNoriko]

HAHA, My bf has pictures of them on the computer at work. The guys always make fun of them saying their girly dogs. He gets a lil embarrassed but he doesn't care! LOL

 

[sherylmint]

My husband calls Flurry his Dawg, lol. He is so crazy about him. He takes him everywhere and is even getting him a puppy cut in spring. His only objection is to bows on our boy dogs, he doesn't mind the jackets and boy clothes he gets a kick out of them. He evn has Flurry and Sassy on his desk at work. If he had a cell phone that took pictures I know they'd be on it. He has them in his wallet, lol. He even asks me to bring them to work to visit.

 

[littlepeanut]

I think the absolute BEST is when my bf or my dad takes Peanut for a walk when Peanut is dressed in a sweater or coat!!!! You gotta love it!

 

[Laceys mom]

When I first told my husband I wanted a maltese he was like no way. When I found one and we went and visited the breeder he would play and interact with her maltese but he was like "this will be your dog and don't expect me to do anything with her." While now he is just in love with her. He carries his "little girl" around with him. The other day he was in a business meeting and he was text messageing me on my phone messages for his "little girl."
