I think it is raining maltese rescues around here. I got another call. This time the breeders had turned in a 9 year old (will be 10 in Dec.). I guess she was such a good mom that they bred her even longer than normal. Of course, she is missing many teeth and her tongue hangs out to one side. Her vision and hearing aren't the best either. But that is expected at almost 10. She is sooooo sweet. She is not shy at all like Kirby is. I am going to get her to the groomers tomorrow. I think she will be able to keep the hair on top, but she is very matted underneath. She just got spayed Tuesday, so I didn't want to ruch the grooming. Oh, I hope I can find a kind soul to let her live out her remaining years. She deserves that much atleast.

I hope Dani finds a good home. Her story just touched my heart. How many liters has she had?

Good new!! A lady came to Petco today and fell in love with Dani. She wants to take her to her mom who is in her 70's and does not work. I hope it will be a match made in heaven. Dani was so cute in her ex-pen today trying to get everyone to pet her. We also had a cavalier male from the same breeder and Dani was making sure she got more pats on the head than he did. She was so cute. I had to shave her legs because she was so matted underneath. It is not a grooming look I would recommend. I had no choice though.

Everyone say a prayer that she has found her perfect forevery home.

I am stunned by this, it is extremely disturbing to me.

I breed my Maggie when she was 3 ½ years old, her one and only litter. She ended up having trouble with the delivery and I had her spayed during her c-section. I felt guilty for even having her breed and had even a harder time letting the puppies go when the time came. My 14 yr old son and I discussed on several occasions, that we never wanted another litter because we became to attached and was seriously concerned what kind of home they would go to. We were sure no one could take care of and love them as much as us. We had a difficult time when it was time to sell the little fur balls. I would go so far as to lie to people and say they were all sold if it didn’t like the sound of their voice or I didn’t like their answers. I must sound awful but, these were our little babies. I ended up selling one to my niece Miranda for only $200 (broke her piggy bank) she is a complete animal nut and plans on becoming a veterinarian someday. She named him “Turbo” which totally fits his personality and a perfect fit for her. I sold two of them to people I knew and I kept the runt “Timmy”. In the end I never allowed a stranger to have one of my babies. I would never make a very good breeder, I would probably end up keeping them all. And not once in a million years would the thought cross my mind to get rid of my “Maggie” just because she couldn’t produce. Sounds like these people are a Maltese worst nightmare.
