Maltese Papillon Rescue - Pippi Matese

I am so happy to find this web site, my Maltese Papillon rescue dog turned 2 years as of May 31.Pippi is very energetic, friendly and smart. My only concern is,he acts hyper when meeting others. I have had no success in training him to sit and allow others to pet him. Otherwise he is fantastic. He weighs 13.5 lbs, he is white with black markings, his ears are the half up, his coat is long and very soft and never mats but he sheds a lot and nothing stops it. My Papitese plays catch and throws the ball to you,he was a breeze to house break,he is very intune to how I feel.I am a 68 year old cancer survivor and when we are walking if he gets too far ahead of me he stops and waits till I catch up. He loves baby carrots which is his favorite treat. Pippi meets no strangers and is the darling of the senior building I live in. He likes adults, children, large dogs and small dogs. I have lots of photos of him but dont know how to put them on computer yet I must have my son show me how. I bought my Maltese Papillon mix Pippi from a rescue home and his tail had been broken.
