Pampered Morkie - Jackie

She got pampered for Valentines too

I got my Morkie about a year and 7 months ago. Her original owner passed away. The vet has told us Jackie is about four years old. When we first got her Jackie she only weighed 2 pounds and was very quiet. Now, Jackie weighs 5 pounds and is FULL OF ENERGY!!! She is a princess and is highly active for such a small dog. She does require a lot of attention, but I am not sure if that has to do with us spoiling her.

Every where we go people always stop us and ask us several questions about her. People are always amazed at how high she jumps. At the dog park she runs around like a loose rabbit. She sprints from place to place and jumps in between. Jackie is full of life and energy. Jackie enjoys rough playing with my finance. She LOVES to chew on your fingers and for a small dog she has a strong grip.

Jackie is special because she has endured a lot, her original owner passed away and when we got her you can tell how distressed she was. When I go back home and visit my mother, who lives next door to where Jackie use to live, she gets so excited and can not wait to get off the car. The excitement of seeing her old house brings us to tears because I find it so strange how she remembers. Dogs can grieve too and Jackie has showed us that.

Any time she hears the words "outside" or "treat" she goes crazy. She jumps around and sprints all over the house because she enjoys her daily walks. She enjoys people watching more than anything. I think it's because she enjoys the attention people give her. She is attracted to larger dogs than smaller ones. She enjoys having her hair cut short and we have notice it brings out more energy in her. I love Jackie dearly and could honestly not imagine life without her!
