Birthday: March 4th 2004 Likes: Spending time with me, getting tummy rubs, posing for pictures, giving kisses Pet-Peeves: Strangers, sirens, loud noises Favorite Toy: Any toys that squeak and an old ratty house slipper. He also enjoys using his dog bed as a humping device. Favorite Food: Peanut butter, peanut butter and more peanut butter PLEASE! Favorite Walk: Just around the block, doesn't like to walk too far. Best Tricks: Carrying his food bowl to me when I ask him if he's hungry, carrying my shoes to me when I ask him where my shoes are, rolling over, playing dead, twirling on command, dancing on command, going into a begging pose when I tell him to say "please" Arrival Story: I researched the breed for several months and made contact with a number of breeders. Finally I chose a breeder that had a puppy that fit what I wanted in a Maltese. I fell in love with his pictures and had the breeder hold him until he was 6 months of age. Then I flew to Pittsburgh to get him. When I held him and he cuddled me, I knew I had made the right decision. We have lived happily since then. Bio: Shadow's parents are both Champions showdogs. He is the sweetest, most loveable boy in the world to me, with most everybody else he is cautious. He is very protective of me.He is an excellent watch dog, is extremely intelligent and loving and can learn tricks almost immediately.
