OMG! Trina! I just saw this post! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO Excited for you!! This has to be a sign that Lexxi is trying to comfort you in her own little way!! What a gorgeous little girl you will be getting...and another Maltese to boot! How perfect is that!!
My Angel came to us in the same way. She wasn't big enough to be a breeder so we got her at 10 months old. I named her Angel since i really think she was "sent' to me by God the same week when my son went off to Iraq. She kept me sane while he was over there and has been such a blessing. We got Princess at 11 months old from a different breeder but for the same reason. Both of these girls were the perfect additons to our family. We changed both of their names from what the breeder called them so don't be worried about changing your new baby's name if you want.
Your little "Angel" will be there to comfort you and be your special little blessing now. I hope you will go get her soon!! It is obviously meant to be!!
Don't walk, RUN!!! Don't let that baby get away.
Keep us posted.
HUGS!! XOXOX
