This is our liveliest addition to the household. Prince is a Maltese and is 8 years old. He is still very much in the puppy stage and keeps us wildly entertained. He is a lap dog through and through and is a super companion. While being a social pet, he gets excited when company first arrives. Soon after, he makes friends and settles down so everybody can enjoy everybody else's company. He is overwhelmed with small children but isn't aggressive at all. He usually heads for "Mommy's lap" and tends to observe them.
