I’m so floored by this lady’s talent I have to show her off. I love all things arts & crafts. Then when you add to that my love for Pomeranians and you simply have me as a devoted fan for life. Look at this incredible work that Gerry has done. I’m just amazed.
Her shop on Etsy is called GFelted or Gourmet Felted. You simply have to take time to see her beauties. I’m picky and her work actually looks like the pictures of the pets they are styled from. You can see their personalities in their eyes. Have you lost a dear one? This would mean so much to me to have after my darlings leave me. (Ok no more sad thoughts!)
Need I say more? The pictures bark for themselves! lol She does have tons of other animals so go enjoy her work. Gerry, I’m saving up!!! lol

A good neighbor is a blessing and in this case a life saver too. Lesley Brown of Lake Moses Washington ran to save her neighbors Pomeranian Gizmo from an icy early grave. Gary Brown, Lesley’s husband noticed the little dog half submerged in the lagoon ice behind their homes and his wife and daughter didn’t think twice about running out into the cold to help. I am so happy to have found this happy ending story for you to read. This time of year we really need to stop and appreciate small miracles. For the whole story please check out the article written for the Columbia Basin Herald by Amy Phan.

Time to start thinking about the holiday cards you are going to send out this year! Why not make your purchase go towards something good? At least take a look at the wide variety of Christmas Cards and other Holiday cards at the Humane Society’s Online Store.
They have dog cards, cat cards,small animals you name it. If you are going to hoof out the money it may as well go to the animals right?

Wow I am so impressed with Todd. He’s a 12 pound 9 year old Pomeranian who goes on hikes with his family. So cool! He has a little orange vest and sounds like they are able to go off leash too. That is definitely one of the things I hate about living in town. I’m always so afraid they will run into the street at the wrong time. I would LOVE to be able to take A & A someplace they could run free and “hike” with us. Apparently this Pomlete goes Kayaking as well.
Way to go Todd!!
I always wonder how much of a dogs personality is shaped by breed, family tendencies, and by the influence of the owners. The old nature vs nurture gets an added twist when you talk about breeds but then someone might start saying we are “profiling” geeez… lol I think our fur-babies are all unique and there is no guessing who they will turn out to be. Or when they act like they have a split personality around different people. God love them all… Life is never dull with pets.

I got this letter today. Would you like to finally be able to do something about Puppy Mills??? Read on…
Dear Claudia,
The attacks have started.
This November, voters in Missouri — the nation’s number-one puppy mill state — will vote on a measure that will stop puppy mill abuses. It’s called Proposition B, and it would establish common sense standards for the care of dogs.
But last week, the puppy mill industry launched its campaign against Prop B with robo-calls to households across the state spreading lies about this measure. We can’t let those attacks go unanswered. Will you help us deliver the facts to Missouri voters — and help save thousands of puppy mill dogs?
Missouri is home to approximately 3,000 puppy mills, about 30 percent of all the puppy mills in the country. And this massive industry is going to fight to keep business as usual, so they can continue to cram dogs into small and filthy cages, deny them veterinary care, expose them to extremes of heat and cold, and give them no exercise or human affection.
These puppy mills are cruel and the way these dogs are treated is wrong. And this dirty business affects all of us, because Missouri’s puppy mill dogs are shipped all over the country, sold to pet stores and directly to consumers over the Internet! In fact, as you read this, there is very likely a puppy from a Missouri mill staring out from a cage at a pet store near you.
Please help us with a special donation today to counter the false claims of the puppy millers — and urge Missouri citizens to vote YES! on Prop B this November.
We can’t let voters be fooled by the falsehoods of the puppy mill industry and their paid consultants who are willing to say whatever it takes to maintain their cruel abuse of animals in the name of profit. If our opponents have their say, tens of thousands of dogs will continue to suffer.
We need to fight back, and set the record straight. With your support today, we can communicate our positive message of the humane treatment of dogs to voters all across Missouri between now and Election Day, through TV ads and other efforts. Please make a special donation now to the campaign to pass Proposition B.
Thousands of dogs suffering in Missouri are counting on you. Thank you so much for your help today.
Sincerely,

Barbara Schmitz
Campaign Manager
Missourians for the Protection of Dogs / YES! on Prop B

This is too cute NOT to share. I’m not sure who they are but this master and furbaby are just so sweet. Now if we all instill these values into our kids the world would be a much better place.
Enjoy! Mama & Abby

Please take the minute to read through this. It will improve your relationship with your pet.
1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me
3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
4. Don’t be angry with me for long and don’t lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.
5. Talk to me. Even if I don’t understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I’m not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.
9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.
10 On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can’t bear to watch. Don’t make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.
..and Abby adds, “Don’t forget all the crazy stuff I put up with…”
Nuzzles, Abby & Annabelle

Just heard through the blogvine that a poor pup is in need of help. We need to show him that not all humans are cruel. Please pop over to Daniella’s blog to read about a personal friend of hers who has taken on helping a 3 month old puppy she picked up for her friend from a breeder.

I found this book very useful when I first started researching Poms. I highly recommend it. I trust the Animal Planet Series. This is what the publishers have to say about it…
