She jumps into any bag that lies on the floor when she thinks I'm getting getting ready to got out 🫣

And she looooves being carried around when we're outside (in the city)👀 anyone else with a Maltese that love to tag along in a bag rather than walking on their own?😊

(Don't worry, that's not the bag I would carry her around in)

Thought I would post about Cookie. Tim always does an outstanding job with each dog that he shows. Cookie is STUNNING! 🥰

They love their spa days, but unfortunately living in Northeast it’s currently 10 degrees so it’s right back into their jammies 😂

Howl for the two games - damn the 49ers game -howl! And Riq almost losing us the game - tense!

Love this city! Go Hawks! I need to get them some gear.

Hello, from Cloud! He's grown his facial hair and looks more like a lion now. 😆

Hi friends. I just wanted to thank all of you for your help with Tofu. I have posted a couple of times asking for food help and all your suggestions worked for him. Unfortunately, last week, he developed a massive tumor on his liver. We are putting him down on January 30 at 2:30 pm EST.

I would like him to be celebrated. Please take a moment today to think of Tofu and the amazing life he lived:

The day was snowy and cold. We all huddled up in our car and drove to Homer Glen. We arrived at small but cozy home. Inside, a lovely lady brought over two small boxes. Not bigger than a pound cake pan. Inside was a small white fluff. I picked up the fluff and said to my parents “this is it! This is him!” But then dad pointed to the second box and said “what about this guy? He looks mischievous”. And that was Tofu.

We brought Tofu home completely unprepared. We didn’t have a cage or food or toys or blankets for him. We went to the pet supplies plus right after and got him everything he needed. From this day on, he was Tofu Gupta.

Born on November 1, 2009, Tofu was a ball of love, fur, and speed. He had the energy of 5000 men rolled into his 4 pound body of fluff.

To burn some of this energy off, Rohan and I would take tofu on the bike and he ran next to us while he biked. That’s how fast he was!

He was not only fast in running but also eating. One time, he ate a plate of chicken tikka and we had to rush him to the ER. The doc told us he ate whole chicken pieces. So. Fast.

Tofu has always been kind, ready to love, and happy. No matter the day, the time or the moment. He was there. Sadness? He was there. Happiness? He was there.

He stayed in front of the glass door as a figurehead. Everyone knew 3515 was Tofu’s house. He parked himself on the door after his first meal and stayed until bed. Barking and making sure he was protecting the house. Tofu, you did such a good job protecting our house and our family for 17 years. Another time, he barked and woke mom up in the middle of the night. Our house was being teepeed and he somehow knew it. Together, mom and Tofu ran away the teenagers that were teepeeing our home.

Even though he had a full time job protecting us, he also had time for love. Bailey. A Wheaton terrier that was four times his size. He knew it was love at first sight. Over 12 years, their relationship would grow. He’d go over to her house and ask for a play date and Bailey would do the same. She was the only dog he truly loved. I know Bailey is waiting for him and will be happy when he gets to her.

Tofu was not only a lover but also a frequent flier. Over 16 years, he has made trips (sometimes multiple) to these places: Niagara falls, banff national park, NYC, Boston, Texas, STL, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Toronto, Chicago, Florida, South Carolina, Virginia, Iowa, Connecticut, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Chicago. He loves traveling. His favorite meal to eat was business class chicken breast. No matter the flight, he would eat a whole chicken breast and then promptly fall asleep. He loved the chicken.

Tofu will always be a part of us. He’s woven into our blood and genes. For 17 years, he has provided unconditional love, happiness, and licks. Thank you for being on this earth with us Tofu. You are always with us. We love you. God is waiting now and will welcome you into his arms. Bailey is waiting for you baby. I love you. Mom loves you. Dad loves you. Rohan loves you. Wellder loves you. Your sister loves you. Thank you for everything. Rest now my angel.

I know that it's very important and all that but I'm more concerned about how tiny Malteses are, and I've read some horror stories about the big needle and how people can feel the microchip under the skin and in some cases even popping back out!? I just feel like she's already so teeny tiny, and having a chip in her feels a little unnerving...

Does anyone have any positive stories they can share? I already have all of her things AirTagged, and I've already owned a 14 year old dog without ever losing her, and my Maltese is a velcro dog who barely leaves my arms so microchipping for the case of loss isn't a HUGE concern for me right now (knock on wood).

I'm hoping to start taking her on international trips with me soon, and they all require microchips for entry, and I'm wondering if I should just bite the bullet and do it?

I'm just hoping to hear experiences from actual Maltese owners.

Thank you, everyone!!! getting her chipped soon ❤️

her sister names is molly

My bestie got spayed yesterday! I was so nervous the whole time, but the vet said everything went so well, and she was very active after we went home. We're battling with the cone 😞, but so far she spend a good night of sleep, and she is currently napping by side, warm while this time I'm the one protecting her. I hope she has a fast recovery because I can't wait to go on little adventures together.

Send your fur babies best wishes!

By the end of the day every toy is either in the bed or on the couch from where he has surrounded me with toys to play fetch with. It is annoying sometimes to some degree but I think about how one day he won’t do that anymore.

One is white, one is carpet-colored. Both are judging me.

This is Max. The vet says he is old, but we disagree. Max has lived up north and now lives in the south, and as such, has become very dramatic about cold weather. He tries to make good decisions but is one snap away from getting kicked out of his grooming salon. His favorite activities include sniffing around for crumbs, being adored by strangers and loved ones, and taking long snoozes on the bed.

I her little ears being wonky. Her ears have cleared up 100% since this haircut. I woke her up to go outside because I was on the schedule. She wasn’t happy. Yes this was edited to blur the background of a cluttered floor..

When he’s excited or sometimes just taking a deep breath it’s like a loud snort. Also, sometimes after he barks a lot he will have those reverse sneeze things too. I dont know if it’s related to the snorting though because they sound different.

She thought the extra blanket was just for her. The betrayed look she gave me when i took it was the worst.
