Swank Pets Dog Blog

So the other day I introduced our little princess of a dog, Munchkin. She acts like a little lady and loves to model our little dog clothes as she prances around our house. But now we have her older ‘Sister’ Muffin. Muffin is currently two and half years old, and we think she’s part Bichon, Toy Poodle with a little bit of Maltese. Muffin is the complete opposite of Munchkin. She’s acts more like a tom-boy that loves to rough house when she plays, and has never been a huge fan of wearing tiny dog clothes. Well, I guess she’s not exactly tiny at 12 pounds, but you get the point. Often times, she’ll bring her favorite toy to you, trying to intice a tug of war match with you. The rougher the better. Once she’s satisfied her tugging thirst, she growls and grunts around the house doing what we like to call her ‘Crazy Run’. She’s definitely not a little princess, but she definitely gets treated like one since we spoil her so much.

We found Muffin through an Ad in the local newspaper. The Ad stated, “Purebred Maltese”, which was what we were looking for at the time. The seller mentioned that he was from Chula Vista, so he would meet us at a gas station closer by our house. When we first saw Muffin she was so small and so white. Her eyes were blue which seemed very unique. I was a little curious about a Maltese with blue eyes, but she was just so cute that we couldn’t refuse. Now that Muffin is full grown, I can confidently say that she is not a Maltese. She weighs more than her promised weight of 4 pounds, and she looks nothing like a Maltese. Her eyes have changed to a beautiful bright green, which makes her very unique looking. Her fur is curly like that of a Bichon Frise, but not quite as curly. So we’ve deduced her pedigree to that of a Bichon/Poodle/Maltese. I wish I could ask her first owner what she really is, but the man never answers our phone calls. I wonder why. Either way, we love her death and wouldn’t ask for anything else. She’s the perfect dog to us.

I sometimes think about how that guy scammed us into purchasing a Maltese. But if we never met him and he never scammed us, we would never have Muffin. So I wish that man would answer his phone, because I really want to thank him for selling us Muffin. We’ve even talked about getting another…ummm…Muffin I guess! So to the man who sold us Muffin at the Arco gas station in Old Town San Diego, if you’re reading this, please let us know if you have any more Muffins available!
