I'm over the moon. We (mom, stepdad and I) had been talking the past few weeks about the idea of getting a dog. Today mom asked me if I'd be available to go look at a Maltese puppy with her and stepdad. After ascertaining that it wasn't from a back yard breeder or puppy mill, I squeeeeed and said of course!
Fell in head over heels within just a few minutes.
It's mom is named Sugar, and it's dad is named Max. The name the people gave him was Sebastian. I suggested calling him Sebbi, but mom and stepdad aren't thrilled with that. (The owners had both gotten Maltese's - female and male. Before they could get them fixed, Sugar became a momma. They're both getting fixed in the next few weeks.)
He's very very smart. At just ten weeks old he is already potty trained and knows how to sit and shake paws on command.
Here's a picture of him
Name ideas needed please!
Squee!!! New Puppy Alert! Needs a Name!

Gamecock,
yep, they were at the very brink of total splitsville, then suddenly mom moved back in and has committed to trying again.

I have to confess. I broke the frugal fast again tonight. We went to petsmart and I really thought he should have a name tag. My mom told me that if I thought it was so important, I could get myself. Gulp! The least expensive was $8! I was thinking $4 at the most.

He is just so adorable! He's small enough to go under the family room furniture. So this morning when I was playing with him, took both of his toys under this one chair. Then this afternoon I took him outside and ran him around for a few minutes (HOT!) and when he came back in he dove for the water. THEN he picked up his food dish very carefully, and took it under the chair without spilling anything! LOL!
Ima,
So far it doesn't look like that is a problem for him. But if it does become one, I'd love to know what you use. Both of our previous Maltese's had the tear stains!

the name of the eye attitive is Angels' Eyes. I just sprinkle a little on her food, once a day. It is expensive, but I only use about 1/4 of what they tell me to use and it works great!
I got it from a catalog called "In the company of Dogs" The phone number on the back of the bottle is 1-866-350-4569. The name of the company is "I'm a little teacup corp."

That's so weird. I think it's happened on other blogs, where the picture disapears after a few days.
cute names though
