I was never a dog person- with all their barking and licking and jumping on you. But then my parents got 2 Maltese puppies (since I hadn't "produced" any grandchildren) and they became a huge part of our family. When my husband and I moved away, we knew we had to get a Maltese. I looked on Petfinder.com and saw photo after photo of beautiful Maltese- I couldn't believe no one wanted them! I found Maggie (a 6 year old who was rescued by Spanky's Project) whose description was just what we were looking for. I was so excited that week before we went to get her! She was very timid at first, and it broke my heart to see her cringe and back away from me. It has been almost a year and she is doing great, she loves cuddling and being held just like a baby. She never barks and now I love when she licks my nose- kisses!
