Dickey Is A Male Maltese Shih Tzu Puppy
He has a new name; it is Benji. Benji was purchased by Joanie as a gift for her friend. Benji is now in his new home and we are waiting for his Aunt Joanie to send us an update.
Update From Benji's Aunt Joanie on May 23, 2009 Beloaw are excerpts from Joanie's email.
Hi.
Yes, Dickie's new name is Benji. You can not believe how cute the dog is and how happy he has made the new owners.
I saw Benji yesterday. Gene, the husband of my friend brought him to his wife's (Irena) beauty salon.
He is so in love with this puppy it is hard to imagine. He did not let the puppy out of his arms and was kissing Benji every two seconds. Imagine, this is a man that when he lost his dog last July, would not even look or hold another dog. Now he is hopelessly in love with this puppy. My girlfriend Irena shows Benji's picture to everyone and he is the topic of conversation all day long.
So far Benji has adapted very well. He has a new bed....four thousand toys!!.....and lots of love. He went for his first walk outside yesterday with his new baby blue rhinestone collar and leash. I can just imagine how pretty the collar and leash looked on his beautiful white coat.
So far all is great. As promised I will keep you all informed and will get pictures to you as soon as possible.
Thank you for everything........
Joanie
OUR NOTE: Joanie was a real pleasure to work with. She stayed in close contact with Donna while she waited for Benji's flight arrangements to be made. she was so excited to get this sweet boy for her friend. Joanie, THANK YOU!!! We look forward to new updates in the future.
