Maltese Terrier Mix - Ellsworth

Well, I've only had Ellsworth for about 6 weeks but I totally adore him. He's a rescue, so I don't know much about his past except he was a stray. The vet said he's a Maltese Terrier mix and about 18 months old.
He has several unique characteristics, the coolest being his one blue eye. He also alternates twirling around like a maniac with jumping extremely high while howling. But my favorite characteristic is his loving personality. He wakes me up every morning by kissing my face, while blocking my other dogs from greeting me. Did I mention he's a jealous one!!!
I named him after my grandfather because they have the same sweet, kind-hearted disposition. I was initially supposed to foster Ellsworth, but I knew from the moment we kissed we would be inseparable. Call me a Foster Failure but that's OK with me.
