Goggled girl


A recent trip to the vet for Kailani to get a chiropractic adjustment and a laser treatment for an injury she did when spraining her leg jumping on the bed out of her Daddy's arms. She can be quite slippery when she wants to. Doesn't she looks so cute in the goggles?! And her pink stroller that was a Christmas present, but has been extremely handy in getting her around comfortably with her sore leg. She's such a star! :)

Bath Time for Kailani

Tonight was her first official bath. We had washed her feet before and I gave her a bath from the neck down, but tonight we washed her from head to tootsies. I just couldn't bring myself to take a picture of her all wet...too sad looking, so we'll keep her dignity. She wasn't too happy being wet, even snuggled into a dryer warmed towel, but she quickly recovered when we gave her some organic spirulina and then her food. She surprisingly didn't try to nip or bite at us when we were washing her. Here is our squeaky clean girl...   Of course she had already shook off her nice brushing she received, but at least she's nice and bright white again. Hopefully I'll be able to figure out how to put her bangs into a ponytail soon. We weighed her in on Saturday at 3 lbs & she's 12 weeks old. We are madly in love with her! She still loves torturing her kitty sisters, but everything is starting to settle in to place. Everyone warns that when she hits 6 months...

Our new Maltese puppy Kailani

We welcomed our new little girl into our family on March 4th, 2014. She was born on January 2nd, 2014, so she was 8 weeks and 1 lb. 9 oz at the time we adopted her.  We already had 2 kitty fur babies (Sugar & Sweet Pea) that we love so much, but I (Kim Smith) had wanted a Maltese for so many years I can't remember and had really been looking like crazy for one to add to our brood for the past year. I did my homework and knew a Maltese would be the perfect dog for us...at least it looked that way on paper. Now, I'm not saying we're not madly in love with her, but we may be too sleep deprived to actually understand what we've gotten ourselves into. I'll be sharing all our adventures together and let you know what it's really like to get your first puppy. Here are her first night photos with us (Kim & Sean). She just drank some water, so her fur around her mouth was still wet, but already photogenic! Kailani's new kitty sisters...

The Naive New Parents

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 th...
