Yorkie Maltese Mix Puppy - Trixie

She loves getting her belly rubbed!

My Yorkie Maltese mix puppy Trixie is 12 weeks old now. When we first got her, she weighed 2lbs and now she is up to 2.5 lbs. Her dad was a Maltese that weighed 3.5lbs and her mom was a Yorkie that weighed about 6 lbs.

Everyone who meets Trixie just loves her. She is so much fun and I love spending all of my time with her. She bounces around when she plays and she looks like a little rabbit. Now she is chewing everything in sight, including hands and feet... but we just give her a chew toy and she seems to love that. She is doing pretty good with potty training. She has accidents every once in a while, but we can tell when she has to go because she runs around sniffing or she will whine and bark by the door to let her out. She usually goes outside, but she also uses her puppy piddle pads when she can't get outside.

Everything about my Yorkie Maltese mix puppy just cracks me up. She is very playful, but loves to snuggle right up next to my head on my pillow when she is ready for bed. She also paws really fast at the pillow as if she has to get it just right before she lays down which is so funny! She loves to play with all dogs and cats, sometimes even if they don't like to play with her. She is also getting used to the leash so we can take her for walks now. Me and my boyfriend (and everyone else who sees her) just love her and can't imagine life without her! She has such a personality and attitude all packed into her tiny little body!
