Puppy Love

"Our first rescue was little Judy, a seven-year old Maltese. Judy had had a rough life, including two caesarian sections and teeth rotting out. At the same time we rescued Gracie,  a 12 lb. beautiful Shih Tzu. Gracie was two years old, only a kid compared to Judy. During this period we met Mary Harrigan and agreed to be Maltese foster parents. One day we got a phone call from Mary asking us if we could foster a young male Maltese named Puppy. We said "sure". That weekend Mary came to our house Puppy in arm. Now you have to picture the scene. Judy having been through all that she’s been through in addition to her age was hardly an apt playmate for Gracie who is still very playful.  Into the center of this is dropped the indomitable Puppy, full of life and energy, who knows nothing but the joy of running back and forth and is constantly ready and ever vigilant to run up to investigate and meet any new challenge. Judy was unfazed at the youngster and not interested in playing. Ah, but Gracie, now there’s a different story. It was love at first sight! You might even call it "Puppy Love". The two of them hit it off immediately. We knew he was here to stay. Before Puppy arrived Gracie had no one to play with. Now the two of them are inseparable. But more than this something very special happened when Pup came to stay with us, now our family was complete. Pup is an amazing watchdog. But the remarkable thing is watching how Pup has really come back from being on the skittish side and now is a wonderfully and remarkably loving lap dog, whose bravery and bravado are only exceeded by his gentleness."
