Hi Liz, as you know, I am the South Mountain cat lady but I’m often puppy-sitting Riley who lives next door. He is a 2 year old yorkie/maltese mix. If he’s anywhere near my door when it opens, he tears into the house to seek out my cats. One of my cats looks identical to his outside best friend and he doesn’t quite get that it’s not Kitty and why is she hissing at him and getting big and fluffy? When he’s not chasing my little friends, he does curl up nicely in my lap, which is fun because my cats don’t do that, so I like borrowing him for cuddles.

Congrats!
Anna and Gucci

I found your blog when I was initially looking at possibly getting a Morkie, and me and my mom have been hooked ever since!
