Come on dad just try get my teddy i dere you

Hi I have a Maltese Pomeranian mix or Maltipom and she is 12 years old now, and the best thing I have ever done was to acquire her. Olivia was the runt of litter and she is so cute, and sleeps on my pillow and will not sleep her basket if I am in bed. She will just stand at the side of the bed and bark until I pick her up.

From when we first got here if we travel in the car she will insist on sitting on my lap or across my shoulders and be my head rest, some of the looks I get are priceless. My Maltese Pomeranian mix is the most fussy eater, her favorite meal is roast chicken, goodo's and a very few brands of dog food. She wants to play tug of war every morning whilst I am trying to get ready for work it is fantastic and a great way to start the day. If I was to pick up the car keys she will just sit by the door and watch me walk out. If on the way to the door I was to say the words come on then she will go ballistic and run to the car and wait for the door to be opened and she will sit on the hump in the middle until I get in and then its up on the shoulders.

Olivia also has certain mannerisms, like feed me I am hungry, pick me up I want a cuddle, or take me out for a wee, its just the way she looks at me and acts.

She will sit on my lap all night while I watch TV.
If we are going in the car or out to visit some one, she will go wee on the command "go wee's." I could go on and on, but my Maltipom is the most devoted and lovable pet I have ever had the pleasure of owning. She is very friendly and loves men.
