Here
I am with some of my friends.
Life sure gets
"tuff" sometimes..... hehehe.
This is
"Brutus". Mom said I had to put up a picture of him because he is Mom's
very first Maltese. He's sooo spoiled... I even have to
share Mom's pillow with him!!!!
With deep sadness we must
report that Brutus crossed over the rainbow bride on October 4, 2004.
He was 13 years and 9 months old.
Here are some of
us playing
our favorite game...........
"catch me if you can!"
We do enjoy playing in the grass!!!!
This
was
"Snuggles", our resident cat. She tolerated most of us but loved to play
with the puppies. Mom says "Snuggles" had been here through two husbands,
three human kids and all us Maltese. In this picture, Snuggles is 20 1/2 years old
and was still going strong.
Snuggles
passed away Nov. 14, 2000.
She was almost 24 years old. She will be missed by
all!

This is Speck
with several of the Maltese on the bed in Mom's
office. She is the last of the nine big rescue
dogs that mom had of which 4 of them were part
coyote....Speck is the last of these four "coydogs",
as they are often referred to. After Smiley
died, Speck could not stand to be outside by herself
so she became a "house" dog at almost 13 years old
in 2003. She lost part of a foot shortly after
birth at the dog pound where the mother and litter
had been taken due to biting someone who kept
bothering her puppies. This partial foot has
caused a lot of problems for her in her old age.
Later she lost part of one of her ears . As
you can see she is very comfortable in her current
surroundings....LOL
This
is Apollo. He came to live with us in May of 2004.
He had been abandoned at a very young age and was very sick.
He was bottle fed and nursed back to health. Apollo does
not know that he is a cat because he was raised with some
Maltese puppies who were about the same age as he was when
found. And all of us Maltese....well we just let him think
that he is a funny looking dog.
