Winnie vs. Taint


I'm an Aunt, originally uploaded by alachia.

Earlier this month, my brother, Taint, and Tivi got a Morkie puppy. Her name is Winnie as in the Pooh. What I love the most about her isn't the fact that she's adorable as hell or that she's super smart or that she has a ton of character for such a small puppy. I think she's awesomesauce because she's accomplished something very few living creatures can do, wear my brother down. lol.

All while growing up (my brother and I are 5 1/2 yrs apart), I had to take care of my brother a lot and entertain him. He'd never run out of energy just like the damn Energizer bunny. Going, going, going, going. I suppose if it was present time, they'd have drowned him in Ritalin but nah, he was just one of those kids who could never sit still and never tired out.

And now Winnie is his payback. mwahahaha. I love it. Right now she's sleeping in small spurts which is the cutest thing ever. But when she wakes up, it's like a nuclear explosion. She hops, darts, and runs around like crazy like in those puppy commercials. Add in the fact that she's fearless (even my Qtpi didn't phase her) and my brother has his hands full.

He's bitching a lot now though because all these strangers try to pet her and touch her while they are outside. I'm like "dude, have you seen your puppy? What person is going to resist petting her? That's why they call these types of dogs chic magnets."
He was like, "man, if I had known this, I'd have picked up a puppy a long time ago." [Insert Tivi /slap here]

Babies seem to have that effect...were you totally out
even at two our nipper still has these little sleeps and wakes up like she's tanked up on pure sugar syrup :)

Mammals have this wierd way to make relativly cute babies even across species...go figure



Btw I there's still room for that nanny job if you like babies :D

I know what a Yorkie is, and assume a Morkie is some sort of Yorkie mix ... please enlighten!

I sometimes babysit a Yorkie, and THEY can be a handful!

Cute puppy!

@strumpet I Morkie is a hybrid breed between a Maltese and a Yorkshire Terrier. I'd say Winnie is more dominant on the Terrier side based on her characteristics..but maybe that's just the puppy in her.
