Everything I read about Maltese, they were talking about a full grown dog not a young puppy. The personality our little Kailani will grow into is going to be what we naively expected when we got her forgetting that she's new to our world and everything is such a new experience for her to see, smell and taste. We also weren't aware of her small bladder and how often she needs to pee in the middle of the night. Luckily one of the reasons we chose a Maltese is they're very trainable for indoor litter box (more like pee pads and a tray) and don't need or necessarily like going outside. We tried having her sleep in a crate(next to our bed) and taking her to her training pad area and she woke us several times during the night during the first week. The second week we got smarter :) , we put her in her play pen(next to our bed) for the night with her organic crate mat, her comfort stuffed animal, some of her toys and her training pad, so she could be self-contained for the night...SURPRISE...it worked!!! :D She's only woken us up a couple of times since to make sure we were there. We're learning about her as she's learning about us.
