My Beautiful Babies

I am joining in with Melody at The House on the Side of the Hill for Tuesday Treasures today. My treasures are my...alright, our...beautiful puppy dogs, Jasmine and Leo.


They are Maltese Shitzus and they are just over 3 years old. I have had dogs most of my life and I just love the fact that they always give you unconditional love. Jas and Leo are just so excited to see us first thing in the morning or when we arrive home after having been out somewhere. It's nice to feel so loved!


Mind you, Jas is actually more like a cat 70% of the time. The relationship is all on her terms, she will only come to you or follow instructions when she wants to (and even then it's often reluctantly), and she sulks when she doesn't get what she wants. She is so cute though and it is absolutely worth putting up with this behaviour when she finally decides that she is going to curl up on your lap and keep you warm while you stitch. She loves, loves, loves chasing the ball at the park too.


Leo, on the other hand, can't wait to be your closest best friend and gets very jealous if Jas gets more attention than he does. This is his favourite toy and when we go to the park he just carries it around all the time, squeaking it. He often sits in my lap or close to my legs while I am stitching and is a great companion.

Hope you all have a great week.

Cheers,
Tracy

They are adorable. My little Pippi is a Maltese Shitzus cross and she is such a funny little character too. Smart, naughty and incredibly cute. I agree they do give so much love. Thanks so much for playing along.

As a doggie lover I have to say just a very cute pair. Great treasure!

WE have a small dog too (poodle cross) and I can understand why you call your two your treasures. Your two little fellows sounds lovely.

What gorgeous personalities they have. Pets really are a member of the family...

Hi Tracee. Yes they are beautiful but not really enjoying the wet weather we are having at the moment. I think it will be even more difficult to get Jas out the door tonight at bedtime! How are you going in the footy tipping this week? Cheers, Tracy xx

Hi Melody, Pippi sounds absolutely delightful. Sorry to have missed this week's Tuesday Treasure, I haven't been 100%. Hoping to get back on board next week. Have a great weekend, Tracy.

Thanks Michelle. They are definitely characters and it has been lovely on the few days I have been bedridden over the last week or so that they have curled up on the bed with me to keep me company. Hope you have a great weekend. Cheers, Tracy.

Hi Raewyn, thanks for your lovely comment. What is your poodle crossed with? My parents and sisters used to have Toy Poodles and they were beautiful dogs. Hope you have a lovely week. Cheers, Tracy.

Hi Anthea, thanks very much for leaving a comment. Yes, they are firm members of the family. We have had other dogs over the years and they are with you for such a long time, and give so much love and joy, that it is devastating when they pass on. Our 2 are only 3 years old so we have many years of fun left with them yet. Hope you have a great weekend. Cheers, Tracy.
