Poodle Mix Rescue - Kiddo

Well, I got my Maltese Poodle mix rescue Kiddo about a year ago from the Humane society of Colorado. She was shipped up from a shelter in New Mexico. I assumed she was going to be put down in NM. I got her home and she was scared of just about everything. Since I was a guy I thought it might be a guy thing. I took her to the vet and she had heartworm, so I almost gave my Maltese Poodle up. Not friendly, a scared pooch, and she was going to cost a fortune. I couldn't get her fixed because of the heartworm. Lucky my Pap had been neutered.

Well, it's been a month by month process. 1st teaching my Maltese Poodle it's OK to go up the stairs, then teaching her it's OK to go down the stairs. Same thing with jumping off & on the bed. Now she's a good buddy and I'm sure heartworm free. She goes to the vet this week for a final checkup. Amazing how she prances around with those floppy ears flying around. It's a gas to watch and I'm glad I stuck it out with her.

She's the most affectionate dog I've even had.
