Am I crazy...I just rescued 2 baby malteses???

[lexie's mom]

I am adopting two malteses that are 10 weeks old and now I am stressing out about it. I have a 6 year old and 2 year old. It has been also years since I trained a dog. Any advice?

Also, if anyone wants to play the naming game, here are our top names:

Scappie and Shaggy
Scrappie and Scooby
Chip and Dale
Georgie and Bailey (from "It's a Wonderful LIfe" George Bailey) Love this one since it will be their Xmas present.

Any more...

Georgie and Bailey are the best of those IMO. Have fun with your new additions!

George and Bailey!!! I love dogs that have "human" names. Congratulations on the new additions to your family!!

Georgie and Bailey ALL THE WAY. :)

Another one for George and Bailey. What a great and creative idea! Good luck with it all.

Congratulations!!!

Your definitely right about training them now. Check you local Pet store to see if they have puppy training classes. We took our 9 month old to Petsmart for individual classes and it worked miracles.

You might also want to get a crate. IMHO this is the best way to housebreak and keep them from safe when you are gone. We have ours in the corner of the room and we have a large blanket over it so it resembles a dark cave. He loves going in there and sleeping.

A great site for dog food is www.dogfoodanalysis.com (http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com) . We use Origen on both our cats and our dog.

Look for a Maltese forum. They might be able to give you some tips and answer any of your questions.

Thanks everyone...I may tell my girls that they already had names and then I can win with George and Bailey.

Thanks for the info. I think I was getting overwhelmed after spending $300 on pet stuff! Shhhh, don't tell DH.

OMG...I never thought to review dog foods! I def feel like I am back in college and cramming for an exam. Thanks for the link, the food is the only thing I did not purchase, yet!
