Puppy Love!
This is my entry for the #dailypetphotography contest organized by by @kona
Penelope and Saphira belong to my grandson and his wife. They are twins but certainly not identical with one being a lot daker than the other. They are a Shih Tzu x Maltese breed and extremely adorable and do not lack the attention they crave, as you will see by the images below.
Penelope and Saphira are proving to be great companions, with sweet and playfrul natures. Maltese Shih Tzus breeds are adaptable and energetic in an active home but much more reserved in a quieter home. They do need regular exercise especially as they can develop respiratory problems and heat and humidity can exacerbate these conditions.
Some bark quite a bit but these two sisters have calm personalities and only bark when alerted and therefore have the makings of good guard dogs. These dogs don’t shed hair profusely but they need to be brushed daily and their coats should be trimmed every six to eight weeks.
They are easily trained, intelligent and generally get on well with other dogs and for people who like to. Maltese Shih Tzus’s can develop separation anxiety f left alone for long periods so it is important to make them part of the family and spend time with them. It is recommended that owners let their dogs walk and not carry them everywhere, as some people are inclined to do.
THANK YOU FOR VIEWING. HAVE A GREAT DAY.
Thank you @pixresteemer
Got my upvote Trudee, though if it had been me (in a past life)
I'd have been photographing cats.
You got my 100% upvote @trudeehunter
Thank you @jerrytsuseer for stopping by.
They are so cute! My grandkids have one, too, and I love it when I get to dogsit! Romeo is simply charming!
Where would we be without our pets. They bring us so much pleasure don't they.
I miss having one, but these days it seems I have all I can do just to take care of myself. Plus because I do not have one I get to be the pet sitter and enjoy everyone else's animals! My grand Kitty is coming for two weeks in March and I love having him here.
I look forward to seeing photos of your grand kitty in March.
He loves coming to my house. He lives on the 4th floor in Chicago and I have many more windows and a screened in porch where he can watch birds and critters all day long out in the backyard. He thinks my house is very entertaining
Romeo must really look forward to staying with grandma with so many interesting things to see and do which must be a wonderful change from the 4th floor apartment. 😄
Cute dogs your grandson & his wife have, Trudee. They are twins but different fur colour.
Its most unusual isn't it Jo, but as they are getting older, their color is becoming more alike.
