What it's like to have a Shelly Belly (Morkie)
Welcome to another video! Today's video is about what it's like to have a morkie/A day in the life of our baby, Shelly Belly. She is a maltese and yorkie mix.
Basically:
1) They love to be spoiled (with toys, belly rubs, attention, and more).
2) They love to play.
3) They need to be close to you.
4) They love to ZzzzZZzzzZz...
5) And they love their family.
I was worried about how Shelly was going to be with our daughter Amy hen she was born but she has been a GREAT family dog. I'm so glad Shelly came into our lives so unexpectedly. We love her SO much!
Hope you liked our video!

9 years ago my wife & daughter insisted we buy this morkie from a pet store. We had discussed our plan to get a different breed for a couple of years. Not a morkie. Not from a pet store. Not on impulse. I was very irritated. When we got her home, I stretched out on our sofa for a nap, and that little dog ignored everyone else and snuggled up for a nap under my chin. Fast forward 9 years; Daisy Mae and I are inseparable. I spent a week at the university vet hospital around the clock while my little one had major orthopedic surgery - they thought I was crazy, but I didn’t want her to be scared or feel abandoned. But I was about to be schooled by my little love ball, because she has gotten me through 7 years of “terminal” cancer, transplant, and a total of 90 surgeries and procedures. She guards me like a lioness, protects me against any comers, and sleeps on me whenever I pass out from the pain. My morkie is truly an angel!

We too are Morkie parents,Vivian is her name. She is the most loving ,playful and happy girl . She too loves her toys. She always wants to be where we are at. She's also very very smart. We got her just as pandemic started. She was being cleared out of our local pet store. We got her at a bargain,but in return she has given us much much more. We love her as we do our Kids and grandkids.She is one of us. I was always a big male dog guy til we Vivian. OMG! What an impact she has made in our hearts .She's the life of our home.

We get him in 2 weeks and I can hardly wait for him to work his Morkie magic with his loving and caring ways and all too cute good looks. I know this little loving creature will put the passion for life back into my dear Mom's heart and soul and make her eyes sparkle again.

They all said he was too old for the proceadure and they offered less then a 50% if we went for the operation. I then spent the last 3 years with him on special diets and for most of all the time he was just fine and then in the last year he got pulled down for the issue he had. I did all I could and I am happy that GOD give me 8 years with him...I am still sooo sad :(
Hi, we too have a male Morkie but he’s quite a bit smaller than yours. I was the one who was looking for a dog and happened on Coco, the lady that had him was put in a position where she couldn’t take care of him any longer so we purchased him and it’s been heavenly ever since.

I have a Morkie that I got from another family in the services. I give him the best, which is whatever I can find that will make us healthy. I mean, I give him Fisetin, a senolytics, and can't wait to put him on Rapamycin (from the Dog Longevity study that's going on right now). I just want the best for him, because he is a good dog (although he of course has his own faults, nobody's perfect)

Our morkie lovesa chase and so will steal socks and pens etc and run away with them. Hates low flying planes, helicopters, cats... She loves fighting with my hands where i pretend my hand is a bird or a snake and i peck at her and she grabs between my thumb and index finger and chews away lol Shelly kinda looks like our Mindy❤❤ All the best to you all.

I think the whip cream is actually a PupCup which is specifically made for dogs. It’s not for humans, it’s not that sweet and it taste like chicken or bacon. If you’re giving her human whip cream she may get doggy diabetes. I don’t know, maybe that’s what you meant. ❤
