Chihuahua Maltese Mix - Pedro

Cutest little dog in the world!!

Pedro is now 5 months old. My Chihuahua Maltese mix is gentle and sweet, but a real clown at times. His 'party trick' for attention-seeking has been, from age 2 1/2 months, to flip his bed upside down onto his head and gallop around the house underneath it!! He has even chewed a hole in the bottom of it now and when he's not running around underneath it, has got his head pushed through the hole and sometimes goes to sleep like this!

We got him when he was 7 weeks old, (I found him by doing a search on the net for Maltese Chihuahua mix). The people I bought him off gave me a list of the diet he had been on; I saw he had been used to getting warm milk with breakfast. I would have continued to do so had I not been told by the lady at the local pet shop (where I bought his expensive kibble), milk is no good for puppies so I did not offer him any. For the first 4 mornings after I got him, he would eat his kibble a bit, then come out to the kitchen, look at me and softly whimper (oh so quietly and sooo cute) for his warm milk!! It took all my willpower to not give in to him! However,he was smart enough to know after day 4, warm milk was off the menu for good and he gave up wimpering for it!

He also used to carry his stuffed bear bed toys to his food and his pee pad (I'm sure he thought they were his litter mates, also sooo cute to see my Maltese Chihuahua do this).

He has loads of character, is very expressive, 'talks' to me when he's playful, makes noises like an Ewok.

My husband and I think my Chihuahua Maltese not only the cutest, but also 'the best little dog in the world'!
