We were so in love with our little Malchi, "Chip" that we decided to add a little girl to our family. This time, I picked out a little purebred maltese girl that we aptly named "Pixel"... for her size, as well as for the fact that it matches with "Chip". (Our little 5 yr old neighbor calls her "Pickles", and what better to go with a sandwich than chips and pickles... so that has become her nickname and our african grey parrot takes turns calling her both!)
Pixel came to us at 8 months old, full of worms and ear-mites. She weighs a whopping 2.2 lbs, even now at 14 months old. She also had problems with her teeth, but after $1600 worth of dental surgery and with daily brushing, our little Malchi has a much better long-term prognosis for keeping her teeth. (Thanks to Dr. Stanley Blazejewski in Malvern, PA for taking such wonderful care of her!)
Now that her medical issues have been worked out, I can say that she is such a wonderful dog. We love our Malchi, and couldn't have asked for a better compliment to our family!
