A Tiny Maltese Puppy Gazed Up at the Tree Like It Was Magic
A white Maltese puppy sits on a soft blanket with his face turned upward, his dark eyes shining in the glow of a tree strung with warm lights. His fluffy coat looks like a cloud, his black nose is slightly lifted and a pair of reading glasses and scraps of wrapping paper rest beside him. A lamp lights the room behind, and the whole scene feels peaceful and bright.
Maltese dogs are small, silky-coated companions that love to be close to their people. They are lively, gentle and affectionate, often quite alert, and they enjoy simple pleasures like watching the world go by. Their long white coats need regular brushing, and they are best kept warm in cold weather because of their small size.
A decorated tree is full of new sights and smells for a puppy, which makes it a place to watch carefully. Keep ornaments, tinsel and hooks out of reach, secure the tree so it can't be tipped and don't let him drink the water in a tree stand. Wrapping paper and ribbon should be cleared away before he decides to chew them. Your vet can advise on other holiday hazards.
For this moment, he is simply admiring the lights. The tree sparkles, the room is quiet, and this little puppy looks as if he has found the best part of Christmas.
