Not too long ago, Baby, my sweet little Pomeranian, was put to sleep. It was one the hardest things for me to go through. With the last 2 years of bad things happening, this was just the straw that almost broke this camel's back. I had lost Duke, her buddy and fellow Pom, last May. My wife always said "after they're gone, I don't want ANY more dogs!"
I have a sign on a shelf near my bedroom that says "A house isn't a house without a Pomeranian". It has a sweet little pom face smiling on it and I see that every day. Last weekend I told her I want another dog. I miss having the companionship and we both absolutely LOVE the breed. Sweet temperament, smart and just downright adorable as puppies and grown dogs. I know there are dogs that need to be adopted and if I had a fenced in yard, I'd like a big dog but I had my heart set on a sweet little pom puppy so......I found one!
We had to drive 3+ hours each way to get her but we've already fallen in love with her. Trouble is, we can't come up with a name that we like. We keep thinking we have one but it just doesn't fit, lol. She won't replace Baby as SHE was MY dog and I had a bond with her unlike any animal I've ever owned, but she doesn't have to be Baby, she can be herself and I'll love her as much as I loved Duke, Baby and my other sweet furry friends.
Here's a pic my wife took of her out in the yard (that needs to be mowed, lol)
She's 1 pound 7 oz as of her vet check yesterday. She's tiny! She'll be 5-6 pounds grown.
Here's pics of other Poms we've owned or fostered.
Our very first was Biscuit, not a puppy pic but he was a little fella. Sadly he died at 2 years old
Second was Duke, he lived to be 2 months shy of 15. He was AWESOME!
Then we got my little Baby, she looks like a little Ewok! She changed color and ended up looking closer to the color of Biscuit.
Next was a foster dog, Mindy. We had her for a little while. She was inbred or something, she turned out not to be a pretty dog, she was sweet but dumb
After Mindy, we fostered a sweet girl named Daisy. She found a new home after about a week!
Next we had gotten a little boy with hopes of breeding him with Baby. He too never got a proper name, we called him Francois but called him "Swa" for short. Problem was, Baby couldn't stand him! We sold him after about 2 weeks, he went to a good home.
So now we have a nameless darling. She has brought MUCH needed joy to us already in the less than a week we've had her. I can just think of her while at work and smile
At any rate, if y'all have any name suggestions for the new girl, I'd love to hear them!
