Maltese Pomeranian Puppy - Gizmo Emo

(Las Vegas, NV)
My husband and I are newlyweds. We decided to adopt a dog to find out if we’re ready for parenthood. I had never owned a pet before and we had no criteria of what breed we wanted. We just knew we wanted something small that doesn’t shed. So we went to a reputable pet store in town, and just as we were about to leave, we spot this furball in one of the playpens. We had never even heard of Maltipoms. We asked the owner if we could hold the furball, and it was the sweetest, softest, and cutest thing we’ve ever seen. He kept licking my husband’s arm the whole time and we knew we found our baby.
We named our Maltese Pomeranian puppy Gizmo after the Gremlins movie. His middle name is Emo because when he gets sad or lazy he’ll just plop his little head on your hand as though saying, “Woe is me.” Everyone coos over Gizmo and is amazed at his wonderful temperament. He is super friendly and gets attached to people, even strangers. Someone could be at our house for a minute, and after they leave, he’ll get really sad. He is friendly with other dogs as well. Big or small – he’ll run up to a dog and want to play.
He has some odd idiosyncrasies that are totally “Gizmo”. When he has to go #2, he’ll run around and around the house like he’s trying to run the poop out of him. He is deathly afraid of the stain remover bottle. When my husband and I kiss, he’ll run up to us and want to give kisses too.
No matter how bad our day is, our Maltese Pomeranian puppy Gizmo always makes it better. When we do decide to have a baby, we hope we’ll be blessed with a baby as wonderful and loving as Gizmo!
