The New Guy In The Family

When we bought the new RV, Madison realized that she would be on the road a lot and traveling with her ferrets was not really an option, so she agreed to swap them for a puppy.  We found a very good home for the ferrets where they would stay together as a family and we bought a little male Maltese for Madison.  

He is a friendly, high energy little guy who appears to be very smart and is nearly trained to use pads to potty.  Here’s a few shots of the nine week old little feller – nice to have another boy in the family and this past Saturday, Madison decided on the name Bodie (bow-dee).

Nearly everything is a toy for him, especially my toes if he can get them (which I'm working hard to discourage).  While I was shooting him playing with the toys, he ran over and attacked my big toe - those little teeth are like needles so I took the shot quickly.  Fortunately he is, so far, leaving the furniture and electrical cords alone.

Interestingly, in my youth, I always wanted a Maltese and now I’ll get to experience one while Madison lives with us - so far he's a jewel.  He is getting over his fear of Coco and they were tugging on opposite ends of a toy the other day - they both like having a playmate.

And just in case you've been wandering since the patty melt post what to do with leftover roasted red pepper aioli - breakfast of course.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.
