A couple people dragged me over, so here we are! LOL If I have time in a couple of weeks I'll try to get the pictoral grooming walk-throughs up here.
I have two Maltese, Mikey (4 1/2) and Jonathan (6). I'm a vet tech and am also heavily involved in dog training. I show in conformation and agility, but also do obedience training. Here is my boy, Ch Mikey Man. He has quite a few health problems that are hereditary in the breed so is neutered now.
Hi Jackie!
Fellow group members you will be astounded as to what an asset Jackie will be on this forum. She is an astounding Maltese Mom and a wealth of knowledge about Maltese..

Jackie, Welcome .... so glad you're here... I remember you from AMR and I am positive you will be a tremendous asset on SM.
I can't wait to see the grooming info. I gave Catcher a bath last night... my first and I have a lot of questions that I bet your "grooming walk through" will answer.

What we did before was people requested seeing certain things and I would take photos as I did it and add commentary. I have a new digital camera so might even take some new pictures.
Hey Marilyn. Mikey crashed last week. His liver values went up and he was on IV fluids. His vets are surprised he is still kicking this week. They've been very honest with me that they don't think he will make it a whole lot longer if he doesn't respond to treatment.
Jackie, We're sorry to hear that Mikey isn't doing well. He's still in our prayers (as are you) and we hope he'll get better. It's not the first time he's astounded the vets. Lets hope he can do it again.
Welcome to the site. It's pretty cool here (there's at least one other guy) and it seems pretty active. We're glad you're here.
i'm glad you were dragged over here and i'm sure your experience will benefit many (as it has me).
i sure hope little mikey pulls through. i feel for you both.

Oh Jackie..I am so sorry Mikey is not doing well. This Thanksgiving we will all say a prayer for him together.
Hi, all. Wanted to introduce myself and ask a specific question at this time. Just joined. We plan to get a maltese. My family is very dog-oriented. We have a male goldendoodle puppy we love to pieces and will be getting a bernedoodle puppy next. As many know, these are large dogs. Especially...
Long long time since I’ve been on here . Occasionally I read posts because I get email updates. I’m still showing /breeding & my most recent champion is CH. Spunsilk Best Friends Forever., “Bestie” who blessed me by being winners bitch at AMA regionals in Lebanon TN last October. Hope all here...
Hi All,
We have a new addition in our family. We decided to name him Cotton Candy. He is 8 weeks old. As a kid I have had two cats a normal pom and a toy pom. But this is our first time as pet parents. We are very excited to have candy in our lives.

I am an old member but I had to reregister because I could not remember the email I had many years ago.
I wanted to let my old friends on here to know that Rain had to be put to sleep last week. She had cancer in her stomach and I couldn’t let her suffer anymore. It broke my heart and I hope...
