Little Abby’s Adventures

I just found what I want for Christmas!  Look at this beautiful Pomeranian necklace!!!   This gorgeous crystal pendant is suspended from an 18 inch solid sterling slver chain and would go great with any outfit.  I can just see it over a black sweater.  The Pom has the cutest Teddy Bear face just like Abby.  Of course, I wish it was Abby!  lol  I’m still looking for places that do it from pictures but this is just the next best thing.

What does your choice of dog say about you?  I read a cute article recently by Jeanine Poggi at Forbes and she took a few of the popular breeds and asked the AKC and ASPCA what they thought it said about their owners. Besides some adorable dog pictures she gives some good advice for choosing a puppy that is right for your family.   Click here to read her article….

Unfortuantly Pomeranians weren;t on the list.  She did mention that poms and in general toy breeds  don’t like to be home all day alone.  This is very true abut Pomeranian dogs.  They are extremely devoted usually to one person in particular. This trait is so strong in them that they have been known to sit in one spot by the door their loved one left until they returned home.  I know Abby wont eat or play when I am gone from the house. Pomeranians are very intelligent. They are able to problem solve like no other dogs I’ve  seen.  THey are very quick to pick up tricks and have boundless energy on the agility course.  Their little hearts practically burst with joy to please you.

So  knowing all this about Pomeranian dogs personality….  What does it say about us?  Who is a Pom owner? I can’t do anything but give my opinion and I’m a bit biased but… lol  I think Pomeranian owners are people who know how to make and keep a commitment.  If you don’t the the Pom is not for you.  A Pom owner can enjoy the spark of life as well as appreciate a nice warm blanket on the couch when it’s time to settle in. We are happy to live in the moment.  We also fiercely voice our opinions to protect our loved ones.  We may not have the physical prowess to beat the big guy but we know how to call in the cavalry for support. lol  We make friends easily once someone takes the time to see through all our bluster.  In short, we are happy to be at home but enjoy the occasional prance about town.

What would you say having a pomeranian as your choice of a dog says about you?

What a face. There is such a gentleness in Poms that people who don’t spend time around them don’t get to see. They are happy little lovers and after the excitement of meeting someone new settles down they become sweet snuggly little babies. Meet Preston. If you haven’t been watching the CBS show Greatest American Dog then I have to spoil this… he didn’t win. Don’t fret though you haven’t missed him. Fortunately if your internet connection is fast enough you can enjoy all the episodes so far on the CBS site! http://www.cbs.com/primetime/greatest_american_dog/

I truly enjoyed how Laura was able to show the world that Pomeranians aren’t yappy little air heads. They are attentive, devoted and bond so intensely to their owner that you become their world. So many times I just sat there and smiled as Preston fell asleep in Lauren’s arms or on her knees. Her calm demeanor really transfers to him and people need to be aware of it. Theyare a great example. So many people don’t realize that their excited, worried, or hyper attitudes are what make their dogs hard to handle, destructive and annoying to others. There is more than one way people and their dogs resemble one another. lol

So thank you to Laura and Preston for representing the breed well.

We’ve been enjoying our summer around here. It’s a busy time of year with the kids off school and hubby and I trying to get work done. So you might think we are really crazy for adding a puppy to the mix. I’d like to introduce Annabelle. She is our new “baby” and Abby is thrilled to have a little sister to play with.

She has been so much fun but I have to admit she is definatly a different dog. lol Just like when parents can’t decide if they should have another child we agonized over adding another dog to the mix. We had Abby who is absolute perfection. She is smart as a whip and practically trained herself. Would we be as lucky? Would the chemistry change our precious pup? Well, we decided to take the plunge. We spoke with Diane at Kandyland Pomeranians again and as if she was going to be breeding any cream/white poms and it just so happened that she had two females who were just a few weeks old. Ohhhh were they cute. Diane was a sweetheart as usual and put up with us visiting a few times as she grew big enough to come to her new home.

I’ll be telling you more soon but I have to say what a little doll she is. Abby was only standoffish for about 24 hours. She sniffed and gave me questioning looks right off but as we knew she was as gentle as a lamb with her new little sister. We soon discovered that our Annabelle is a snuggle bunny. Abby loves to curl on at your feet, on your legs or within the general vicinity. Annabelle needs more contact that that. lol I often find myself watching television over top of a white little ball of fluff that crashes on my chest or shoulder. lol

My husband got it right when he said we wouldn’t be getting this dog “for him” as we proclaimed. He said that Poms pick their own person. We kept her by his desk while we both worked and as that has made her more social than Abby but she is still a mommy’s girl. lol EVen as I write this I have a little white paw tapping on my legs to pick her up. lol

Time to snuggle, talk more soon.

On June 25th the Humane Society of the US intervened on behalf of 700 dogs at a puppy mill in Tennessee. They placed many of the dogs into make shift temporary shelters and they are undergoing health checks and being evaluated for adoption.

“… “There was a great deal of suffering,” Haisley said. “Starvation. Dead animals. Animals that were shot. Bullets in the animals. Animals living in tiny cages on top of their own feces, and burns on their skin from urine and feces.”

Puppy mills typically produce puppies at an industrial pace, linking mother and father together to breed in an endless cycle, eschewing humane care for the animals.

Area police were alerted, and they — and Humane Society rescue crews — moved in.

Leveridge’s team brought back eight vehicles filled with puppies and a few adult dogs. The convoy included a 40-foot RV called the “Petmobile.”

Many of the puppies are small purebreds: Yorkshire, Boston and Manchester terriers, miniature Pinschers, poodles, Chihuahuas, Maltese, Schitzus, Pomeranians and Sharpeis.

They were going to be sold online, to boutique pet stores and to mall stores, Leveridge said. Now, he said, they can be adopted as early as Tuesday or Wednesday. Each will be spayed or neutered, and have a homing chip implanted.

But getting the puppies ready for adoption won’t be easy. …” 150 of these pups are headed for Atlanta next week. for the rest of the story
