Kitzel---means to "tickle" and we chose it because we wanted laughter in our home again after losing 3 dogs too close together---one from old age (maltese born w/liver disease but w/love & surgery survived), our maltese grand dog died last Sept. in our care (heart and pancreatitis) & our rescue bischon-maltese mix died in late Jan. from aggressive mouth cancer. After too many tears we are starting over w/a puppy ---thus Kitzel!
