I became a mom

Here's another reason why I went MIA: Izzy.

No, I didn't get preggers. lol. I bought the cutest little Maltese puppy. A gift from Marco for my 24th birthday. :)

I got her when she was 3 months old. She was super skinny and was really smelly when I got her. Kawawa! The old owners didn't give her regular baths, boo!

I named her Izzy, no - not after the Grey's Anatomy character, but because of her frizzy fur, especially around her neck.

I try hard to keep her frizz-free. hehe.

She's turning one year old on December 5.

Izzy is super active. She likes to wrestle. The only time she's not hyper is when she's asleep. Lol. But when she's sleepy, she mellows down and wants to cuddle.

Sometimes I think she doesn't know she's a dog. She stands everytime she wants something (like her toys on the table, or when she wants to be carried, or when she wants to be let out of the room). She asks for her bag when she sees I'm getting dressed - stands and tries to drag the bag out from wherever it's hidden.

She's super funny too. She likes to sleep in the weirdest position: on her back with her head bent towards her tummy. I should probably take a photo next time.

She goes crazy when she sees me preparing my blanket before I go to sleep - she'd run under it and just stay there until it covers her. She then playfully bites me from under the covers.

Crazy pup.
