Dogs of Summer 3: Tony Bennett & Happy, the Maltese

Singer Tony Bennett owns a Maltese dog; and because of the sweet dog's  personality, was given the name of "Happy".
He was carried on stage by Mr Bennett as he took his final bow at the Ravinia concert. Hubby was in the restroom of the time -- trying to beat the sold-out crowd and all -- so my official Photographer with his much-nicer camera was nowhere to be found.  Sorry for my poor-quality pictures of the big screen tv, but Happy deserves a post of his own.

I think our very own Shih-tzu might possibly have some part-MALTESE in her, hmmmmm.

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.  2 Corinthians 7:1

Maltichon: All of the above and more

A co-worker decided to give away his dog because of a need to focus on a family member's on-going medical issues.  Six-month old Ruby is a Maltichon: a MALTESE combined with a BICHON (per her record).  What a cutie.

I am aware that Maltichons can be tiny, so looking at her one would think she is rather oversized. Yet, IMO she's rather  "small" under the silky curls (only 10 lbs -- she's lighter than our Shih Tzu who shorter, and weighs 14+ lbs!). 

Ruby came bearing gifts, LoL.
