Maltipoms - Petunia and Simmz

Petunia and Simmz were born on September 14, 2009. My Maltipoms were with a breeder that became ill and could not afford to care for the 80 dogs she had. I worked closely with the breeder along with my vet and the breeder surrendered over 60 dogs over a 4 month period. Mostly Shih Tzus and all are in loving homes.

Petunia came to me very ill at the age of 3 months with an upper respiratory infection---she lived in an oxygen box for 2 weeks. We almost lost her but she survived---

I could not part with these precious little girls---Petunia is a beautiful, 5 lb, sassy Malti-pom. She is a lap dog and wants to be with me all the time. Simmz is a gorgeous 4.5 lb Malti-pom with a very different personality. She sits on her hind legs and does the doggie wave for several minutes. This is how she talks while Petunia talks by barking. In the pics above, Petunia and Simmz are modeling their designer dresses made just for them by Doc Woody's wife Alix---Doc Woody is our vet.

Also, I had Petunia's and Simmz's portrait painted--they are posted above. Kasia captured their personality---Simmz is our "Lady Gaga" while Petunia is "Little Miss Snoot"----they are wonderful little girls and loved very much!!

I have Maltese but this Maltese Pomeranian combination is adorable!!!
