Happy

Happy is a 1yr old Pomimo. I received him for free after having responded to an ad from a desperate mother who could no longer care for him. He has been part of my family for the past 6mons. I later learned this woman was one of his three owners. I was told that Happy was a purebred Maltese, but after having taken him to the vets, it left both myself and the vet puzzled as to what breed he was. After much research we have determined Happy to be a Pomimo. Happy knows many tricks and is very receptive to acquiring new skills. He was very temperamental, and thought to have been abused, as he was territorial. He would bite if frightened and bark at all he saw. After two uses of a bark collar, Happy learned quickly how to act appropriately within his community. Now I just use a regular collar and he knows when walking, not to bark at others he comes in contact with.

Today, Happy is loving, affectionate, loves to cuddle, full of personality, intelligent and extremely loyal. Happy's brown nose and mouth has won over the neighbourhood, and all those who come in contact with him. Happy has won us all over.
