This question is mostly directed at those who have a Maltese that's older than a year, especially if you've had him/her since puppyhood.
How has the personality changed? I know with other breeds of dog I've seen, they sometimes become a little less tolerant of new things/people/noises , certainly less playful, sleep a bit more, etc. Have you noticed any changes in personality/changes in activity since your malt has aged a few years? Is it just a matter of no more 'puppy crazies' or 'zoomies' but they still love a good play now and then? I'm just curious what others' experiences have been. Sometimes I can't imagine Leila being much more snuggly than she is...she will play if I start it, and occasionally she'll follow the cat around trying to get her to play, but other than that, she's happy to lie on the couch against my leg or on my lap being combed. She certainly isn't hyperactive. So, I wonder sometimes if I'm going to end up with a living, breathing lump on the couch
Any thoughts?
