My family has a new member! Oh, no… I’m not pregnant. I don’t even have plans of having a child – well, not now. I’m talking about my new puppy, Spock! He’s a cute-docile-lovely 3 months old Maltese, that we brought because Dexter (our 1 year old Shih Tzu) was needing a friend companion. I should have posted it before, but I didn’t have time for blogging, sorry. Spock arrived 15 days ago – I guess – and he’s doing pretty well in his new home!
Differently of Dexter, he’s quite restless. And, living 3 months in a kennel, he didn’t have the same Cesar-Milanesque education we (Nando and I) gave to Dexter. Then, Spock was bossing his older brother around, but not being aggressive at all. He was just stealing food, water and toys. Dexter, instead of defending his stuff, walks as if he’s saying “ok, never mind” and lies on his spot. It was very difficult to make him eat his food again. Fortunately it didn’t take so long and now they are great friends!
By the way, when Spock arrived home, Dexter thought it was the wold’s most wonderful thing. He couldn’t stop to follow and lick the little one! We told this story to the veterinarian and he said that “Dexter will be a good father”. So, all that licking thing was just to stimulate Spock for doing pee and poo (which he was holding).
As a nice mom I am, I don’t like to compare my “babies”. But certainly there’s a good difference between both dogs. Things we were missing in Dexter, like stay on lap and being kinder, we found in Spock. Well, of course our tiny maltese (he’s really tiny) has some defects too. I’ll not cite them, because my angels’ defects are qualities! Particularly, I’m loving this personality difference. The mess is double, and they drive me crazy, but I’m not regret! Dogs are cool!
