Stole a freezepop! Caught redhanded!

This is Bentley the 2nd, a male Morkie, his mom was Maltese and dad Yorkie, He is 16mos old and 5lbs. He is soooo affectionate and dedicated. He only barks at other dogs or when someone gets too close to me, otherwise he is very gentle and quiet. Above I caught him eating a freeze pop, he gets into anything.

People mostly comment on how cute he is or ask if he's a Yorkie or Maltese, it's usually hard for people to decipher and I love that. I live in a big apartment and he does fine with that, although he has eaten through a few laptop cables and shoes if I'm not home on time. Hes very smart, learns quickly and can jump almost 4 feet in the air, which makes it impossible to gate him, because he jumps over them or climbs over them, we tease and call him little "Mc Gyver."

I take him everywhere and usually people don't know he's there because hes so quiet. He also loves riding in cars, sleeping, walking miles which can easily make him lose 1/5 of his body weight considering he's only 5lbs. Loves to play fetch, listen to music and watch animal planet, and yes ladies he's single. One thing he does thats funny is if I have guest, that's when he'll run out of my room with underwear in his mouth...classic.

He hates dressing up to go outside, baths and brushing his teeth. But you'll usually find him nestled up next to me, or playing peekaboo with me. I love him!
