Lhatese - Scout

by Kim
(Memphis, Tennessee)

Scout is a mix between a Maltese and a Lhasa Apso. My Lhatese is seven years old and still looks like a puppy. I am still amazed at how small she is - weighing in at around three pounds. I believe that she was some sort of a runt because she was the last puppy left in the litter. No one seemed to want her. But, I got her and she has been a source of unconditional love, companionship and comfort in my life.

She loves to sleep, be held for hours, eat turkey bacon and watch The Golden Girls. I love her more than I could love any living creature. Scout was born in a little one-horse town called Pocahontas, Tennessee but soon moved in with me in the big city of Memphis.

I will eventually get another Lhatese. I'm sold!
