As you know, I have a little Maltese named Rocky. He’s thirteen this year, but looks like a puppy. People are always asking if he’s a pup and can’t believe he’s that old. I can’t believe it either.
Yesterday morning I let him up on the bed and took this shot. I got him to cock his head by barking like a dog. Yes, I did. I will only sink to that level when no one else is around. Rocky can do the funniest thing with his ears–he’ll stick them straight out like airplane wings. Sometimes he’ll just do one of them and it’s hilarious. Haven’t been able to capture this on camera yet because it’s a random event.
Here’s an outtake where Rocky blinked. I think he looks a little like Confucius. 🙂

He’s soooo cute!
I think so too, but I’m just a little biased.
Adorable, my mom breeds Maltese. They’re lovely dogs.
Oh, how lucky! I’m a huge fan now. Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
Rocky certainly has unlocked the secret to the fountain of youth. Now if he would only share it…
He’s adorable!
I know, if only!
How cute! He does look like a puppy. There is something about having a pet that lifts a persons spirit each day. I loved the antics of our dog and cat.
So true, Jeanne. I’ve had a pet all my life, except for the two years I lived in Europe, and can’t imagine life without them.
I cannot imagine life witout animals either. Your little dog cheers me up every time I see him. Such a cute little guy.
So nice to hear that! He is a little character.
Wow, I never would have guessed him at that age! He is beautiful!!! The one of him blinking is absolutley adorable!
Thank you. The Maltese is said to look like a puppy longer than any other breed. I believe it now.
How adorable is he? Oh my gosh…I love the one of him blinking too…super cute!
I like that one too…it cracks me up.
Aww! Tiny Confucious Dog!!!
Pearl. 🙂
Wow, I’m flattered that you stopped by. I think your blog is hilarious. 🙂
My son makes the blinking face when he’s trying to be coy.
Rocky also does that when he wants me to carry him home. It’s quite an act. He does not do this for my husband.
