We
have only had Maizy for a little more than a month and a half. We adopted
her from a rescue group who got her from the pound. She was an owner
surrender but we don't know why, unless it has anything to do with her potty
training! We are not really sure what breed of dog she is but we know she is
a mutt of some kind. My guess is that she is a Yorkie Maltese mix. She has a
Yorkie look to her and she feels like a Maltese... she also gets tear stains
like the Maltese does.
When we first got her she was super skittish and wouldn't come up to anyone.
She also didn't like our other two dogs Ravin and Honey. But she only weighs
five pounds (2.2 kg), so how could you blame her. Maizy was supposed to be a family dog
but she bonded with my mom right away (my mom laughs and says she didn't want
a dog for herself just for the family). Maizy now gets along with every human
and animal in the family. She's wary of strangers though but most dogs are.
We think Maizy must have been an old ladies dog and the old lady passed away
and so the family didn't know what to do with her. When she arrived at the
pound her coat was really long and matted. Maizy doesn't like to play with
toys or other dogs and doesn't really know how to play with people either. We
are trying to get her to learn about how much fun it can be to be a dog.
Something she does like is going for car rides with my mom. As I am writing
this my mom went to go pick up my little brother from school and guess who
had to go with her? Maizy also sleeps with my mom which annoys my dad but at
least she is just a little thing. Everyone in the family loves her and her
silly little personality. We are happy that we adopted her and we are
confidant she will continue to come out of her shell. Please remember if you
are looking to add a dog to your family it's always better to rescue than to
buy ... especially to buy from a pet store. If you absolutely have to have a
purebred puppy make sure you get it from a responsible breeder that's
registered, and lets you meet the mother.
