r/Maltese

My 4 month old Maltese has just discovered his water bowl can also be used as a fun feature to play in.

He drinks out of it then starts kicking the water out of it all over the floor. I switched his water container to a small bowl of water in hopes it will deter him . Has anyone else had this issue? How do I get him to stop playing but still wanting to drink out of it?

So our little precious Bella (3 yr old F) just refuses to eat. She won't eat in the morning, but will occasionally eat in the evening. We give her half dry food, half wet food. Here's the kicker ...she won't eat from the bowl. Have to hand feed her a few times THEN she eats from the bowl, and then all of it. Always starts our with her picking her nose up, then eventually eating the whole bowl. So frustrating! How do you handle feeding??

Robert the unstoppable, he lived to be 20… honestly we think longer because I started sitting for him when he was 19 and he passed 3 years later potentially the oldest dog in the world but let’s just say 20 for the sake of it not being documented 😭 he wasn’t even my dog but I dog sat for him in his last few years of life and he truly changed my life. My new puppy is making me look back on the old memories 🥺🪽

Lowkey his owner got mad at me because of how much I extended his life 😭😭😭

He also had some in his urethra, it was found accidentally during a routine ultrasound + x ray. But they said it'd be best to operate before it turned into an emergency. Anyway, all went well, but the doctors said he would be a lot more down in the next few days, due to pain from the procedure, and recovering from the anesthesia. This is him back home after 3 hours from the surgery

Little rascal already wants to play and run around, but I'm keeping him on my watch so nothing goes wrong with his stitches

I vomited twice this morning right after breakfast—I brought up everything I ate. A few days ago, I also threw up about 5 hours after dinner. Hopefully it’s nothing serious, maybe I just ate too fast.
