Bobo's Mama
proud corn mommy!
Here he is! My birthday doggie! He's a 4-year old Maltese that we adopted from a couple who no longer wanted him. They said he barked too much. Our other Maltese got out of the yard, and ate something quite toxic apparently. The neighbors brought him back to us. He got sick that night, and died the next afternoon. We didn't even get the chance to take him to the vet. He was 13, so his system was probably very delicate at that point. He was primarily my grandma's dog, and she has Altzeimer's, so she was VERY upset. First of all, she couldn't remember that he died, so that was very hard on all of us. So we knew we needed to get another dog and soon. And of course we had to get another Maltese. She's never wanted any other kind of dog. I looked non-stop for a week, until I finally found this dog on Craigslist. Only problem was, he was 300 miles away. Eh, no biggy for me. So, on my birthday, I got up at 8am and drove over to get him. He's supposed to be for my grandma, but as far as the dog and I are concerned, he's my dog, grandma's just borrowing him now and then for companionship. He's so adorable and sweet. Every time I come downstairs, he comes running out of her room to see me. The funny part about his name is that our old dog's name was Mickey, so grandma is going to call this one Mickey too, becasue she can't remember that he's a different dog. The previous owners called him Bob or Bobby, so he's Micky-Bobby! And since he was originally from a shelter, I don't know if he's full-blooded Maltese. I don't think so, because he's almost 10 pounds, and the breed standard is 4-7, but he may have just been a biggun'! Well enough of the novel, here are some pics of my new baby!
and here's a shot that pretty much sums him up well!
