Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello People,
My name is Dusty, but you can call me sweetness, cuteness or Mr. Adorable! I’m an incredibly appealing little Morkie (that’s Maltese and Yorkie, if you please) of about four or five and only 9 lbs soaking wet (and the same when I’m dry, too).
Mom says I like to go for walks- well it’s a little more like hops and bounces, but you know what I mean. I also really like to zip around town with Mom in her car. She says I keep very busy looking at everything I can. I tell her I’m happy to be a companion and to go along for a ride! I am most content when I can be near Mom and can follow her where ever she goes. And after a busy day together, I sleep comfortably all night next to her in the big peoples’ bed.
I’m housebroken (either outside or to a pee pad)and love to cuddle. I have even taught Mom to give me a doggy massage, and she is getting quite good at it! As far as I’m concerned, there is nothing that beats a massage, but belly rubs will come close. Would you like me to teach you?
Mom says I’m a gentle and shy pup who rarely barks and really wants to please – She says I’ve had to fend for myself in the big world so I’m having to learn that there will be food and a warm bed for me all the time now and that it’s pretty nice to stick around to enjoy my new life. I’m learning I can trust people to be kind and nice to me.
Mom says I can be an only pup, however, I need to go to a home where someone is around most of the time. I will also need a very secure area when I go outside because sometimes I forget that home is the best place to be. So if you are looking for a new best friend who is sweet, gentle, loving, shy and don’t forget adorable, just ask for me, Dusty. I can’t wait to meet you.
