We have had the pleasure of purchasing two Maltese pups from Irma Miller. (Irma Miller advertises on happyvalentinesday2016i.com, she also has her own website at MyHomeKennels.net) Our first, a male, came home to Michigan, December 2011. We named him Tornado because he was such a little whirlwind – we call him Torn for short. Torn is now 14 months old and weighs 5 ½ pounds. Our second pup, a female, joined our family September 2012. We call her Puddles – not because of any accidents, but because it was just a cute name. Puddles is almost 5 months old and weighs just over 4 pounds.
Torn and Puddles are half siblings, having the same father yet different mothers. When Puddles first arrived it only took Torn 10 minutes to convey that this was “MY HOUSE, MY RULES”. As soon as Puddles submitted they instantly became best of friends. Since then Torn has become the best big brother Puddles could ever hope for. It’s amazing to watch how Torn just naturally matches her energy level as she grows. Oh, and the “MY HOUSE, MY RULES” has changed. It’s now “OUR HOUSE, OUR RULES”.
But as we see it, the “OUR HOUSE” is more like the Indianapolis 500 race track, as they take turns chasing each other on a daily basis. We can’t help but wonder if our teaching them to ride motorcycles gave them their “need for speed” (or maybe vice versa). As for their latest venture, Torn and Puddles are assisting us with the Pet CPR & First Aid classes we teach.
So we want to thank you Irma for being such a good breeder! Our lives are so much more enriched, because of these two little bundles of energy. And lastly, we’ve included some photos of our dynamic duo.
Enjoy!
Bob and Joan Stein
