Say
Hello to Mr. Milo:
At first thought I wanted a puppy to keep me company while my husband finished
graduate school. I had completed my degree and knew I would have some extra
time on my hands and what better way to fill that void than with a puppy. I
fell in love with Yorkies when my sister got a Yorkie (I wanted to keep her
puppy, but college was keeping me too busy). So when the time was right I
talked my husband into getting us a puppy. Little did I know that this puppy
would literally change my view on the amount one can love an animal. Milo is
much more than a pet to us, he is our Family, our first child if you will.
It was love at first sight with Milo. It was then when I noticed his ears at
point, which at the time looked a little big for his tiny head. I had been
teased, light-heartedly, as a child about my big ears, so we already had
something in common!! These ears remain at point except for the very few times
he gets in trouble and when he rolls around on the bed and one flips back. He
also had the sweetest eyes that I had ever seen. I had to have him. It was as
simple as that.
I have been told numerous times how laid back Milo is and how well he behaves.
If I could choose the traits in a dog that would mesh with our personalities,
I would not change Milo one bit, well maybe I would change his love for
shredding toilet paper when I am away, but that would be it. Milo never gets
too excited, except when he sees a squirrel or hears the door bell (whether it
is on TV or in real life). He has a little sister (my parents' Yorkie) that
bothers him constantly, but he never gets angry with her. He just lays there
and lets her lick him in the face and bite his whiskers while pleading with
his eyes for some help from me.
As you can see, Milo is not very good at chores. Every time we begin putting
up laundry he "thinks" he needs to lie in the middle of the clothes and sleep.
He is also a very good traveler. We recently went on an eleven-hour road trip and
took Milo. He was amazing. He loved it! He sat in our laps and slept the
whole way, except of course when he need a snack or potty break. He loved
Clifty Falls State Park in Madison, Indiana, and especially enjoyed the
hiking and we even saw a few squirrels.
The love that we have for Milo cannot be put into words. I hope my feeble
attempt has done him justice.
