The Book of Malti-Poo

 

 Why...The Book of Malti-Poo, you may ask?
Does anyone remember the old 50’s rock n’roll song, Who wrote the Book of Love?

 

The Malti-poo answers the question hands down. They are the most affectionate, loving, loyal and intelligent little creatures. Take it from someone who never wanted a “foo-foo” type of little yip dog. This is a small dog with the heart of a lion. She is fearless and never backs down. Her sturdy little body stands up to hours of play with her three times larger Setter sistersI call them Setter-poo’s because they are such wimps at times.

 But she is at times too cute for words, at others, she just wants to be “one of the gang” and get down in the dirt like any other Heinz 57 dog. No special designer dog airs for this breed!

She wants to be with you. And she wants to be one of “us” She doesn’t seem to think she is a real dog, just a little tomboy in fur. She loves to snuggle, cuddle, kiss and nap as well as travel and socialize. A bundle of love is found in the malti-poo.

 Someone was holding a malti-poo puppy  some years back and when I saw and asked what it was, I knew I wouldn’t be happy till “I got me one of those”.  We had gone to check out a rescue dog last year, on a rescue run if you will, right before getting Abby.

The whole thing was a fiasco. We went downtown in rush hour traffic on this ill-advised expedition, complete with two Setters in the back seat. On the way home, the heavens opened up and it rained on us like I’ve never seen. I think now it was God’s way of telling us, “Be Patient, the right dog is coming, I’m sending her to you.” And sure enough, within the month, Abby landed on her doorstep.

 She stepped in the house and we can’t recall what it was like before her arrival. She instantly fit in with the other dogs, with our routine, and with our lives. She was full of acceptance of our love and she was made to love us back. I will never have to wonder Who wrote the Book of Love?

 The Malti-Poo is the one who wrote the Book of Love.
