Kloe was infatuated with Smokey from the first day she met him. Smokey on the other hand was nonchalant and only mildly interested with Kloe who, even as a very young pup, was much larger than Smokey. Smokey played it cool and if Kloe became a nuisance he let her know with a growl and snap from his tiny snout. Kloe would acquiesce to Smoky’s body language and back off but only by inches, still so very interested in this smaller yet more mature and dominant being staring intently and seemingly willingly him to “play”.
Smokey is my daughters pup, an 11 pound half Maltese Terrier half Yorkshire Terrier – a Morkie! When Kloe first met “the Smokster” as a young pup, she was not much bigger than him. Now at 80 pounds Kloe is almost eight times Smokey’s size both in weight and stature yet the infatuation continues.
My daughter and Smokey paid a visit to The Golden K recently. Kloe of course was all about Smokey. It was nice to see that more often than not, maybe because Kloe is maturing and slightly calmer, Smokey seems to enjoy hanging with his step sister that I call Kloe Bowie Sugerlips.

Oh my gosh, that nose to nose pic is priceless. Little pups tend to be ‘wind-up’ toys for their bigger siblings which makes it all the more heart rendering when they get along and play well together. Bravo Miss K…you have matured into a well behaved young girl. 💖
It is so fun to see these two together! And yeah, our “puppy” is maturing nicely. Maybe soon therapy dog in training….
That is ‘pawsome’ news!! And she’ll be totally fur-bulous.
Those are darling pictures! And I love that Kloe respects Smokey enough to back off (even a little bit) when she’s asked to. Sometimes it’s hard for dogs of such different sizes to be friends, but it looks as if these two are pulling it off!
Thanks Ann. Smokey’s the boss and Kloe is fine with it. Funny now being 8 times his size she is still a little scared of Smokey….
Little dogs can have big attitudes!
