Mr. N rarely encounters dogs smaller than him. It’s even more uncommon that he meets a puppy smaller than him. Mr. N’s foster mom invited him over to play with her new puppy who is this teeny tiny Maltese who weighs two pounds soaking wet because she thought Mr. N might be a good playmate.
I was uncertain how Mr. N would react because I don’t know if he has ever met a puppy smaller than him. Mr. N doesn’t like big boisterous puppies (which is the usual kind he meets) so I was curious to see how he would handle the tiny puppy.
As it turns out, Mr. N and the puppy play similarly. They bounce about and wrestle and chase each other around and had a blast running around. He was extremely tolerant of the puppy and didn’t correct him at all even when the puppy tried to hump him. None of the other dogs in the house really play with the puppy because they get annoyed by him or they’re too big.
But Mr. N and the puppy were a great match.
Mr. N wants to know if we can borrow him and take him home. But only if I promise that he still gets the lion’s share of the attention!

How sweet that Mr. N found a playmate. Hopefully he can visit often while the Maltese is in foster care.

The puppy is actually going to be adopted by Mr. N's foster mom!

Mr. N has always wanted a mini-me.

That little pup really lets me see just how small Mr. N is! It's great they played well.

It's hard to tell from pictures sometimes!

It looks like they both had a ball! Hopefully they can play together again, sounds like it worked out great for both of them. Maybe Mr. N enjoys being the "big guy" for a change! 🙂

Can't blame Mr. N for feeling more comfortable playing with someone closer to his own size! I'm glad he had such a good time. I never get tired of watching dogs play – such fun!

Looks like a very fun playdate! I've never liked dogs smaller than me either, big dogs I always like playing with though. Love Dolly
