Thumblina is 11 years old today ‼️ Thumblina was born the same day our other Maltese, Princess died. Buddy, our Caviler King Charles Spaniel, wasn't handling the loss well. My Aunt called asking if we were interested in rescuing a Maltese puppy in need of a home. A pet store had dropped off a few puppies that had gotten a skin infection in transport at a vet office and didn't want them back. We agreed to go see her, but weren't sure we were ready for another dog. Once we saw her, we knew she was meant to be ours 💓💞💖 She needed us 💖 She was so tiny‼️She didn't know how to bark yet‼️She just squeaked like a squeaky toy‼️They told us she'd never been on grass before‼️My mom was sure Princess had sent her to us💖💞💓😍 This is a picture of when she was first brought home at 16 weeks, which is 4 months. She was barely 2 pounds‼️Our other Maltese, Princess, barely grew after 4 months. Mom and I were worried Thumblina wouldn't get bigger either. Thankfully, she did. She is 7 pounds now 💖 Buddy was so gentle with her ❤️ Buddy passed away a while ago, but Thumblina is ok with being an only dog. Mom and I make sure to give her lots of love 💖 Her paw print is still the size of my thumb print 😜 #rescuestory #rescuestories #rescuemaltese #maltesepuppy #maltesepuppies #dogbirthday #birthdaydog #dogbirthdays #doggybirthday #doggiebirthday #maltese_thecute #maltese_love_ #maltesepup #malteselife #malteselover #maltesedogs #throwbackpicture #throwbackpicture📷 #throwbackpictures #memoriesforlife❤️ #bestmemories #memories😍 #carlossantanaboots #carlossantanashoes #oldmemories❤️ #throwbackpictures❤️ #maltesefamily https://www.instagram.com/p/CA6ogo4DZ8E/?igshid=sw7imb45v09w
