I have some very good news...

I have a new puppy. She's the dog that I've always wanted but never felt I could ever have. But she's here and she's beautiful and hilarious and a very good girl. I'm in love.

If you're on blue you can see a picture of her at the link. She's ten weeks old today.

Isn't she a cutie?

Nollie and she has a rather impressive pedigree. I could easily sneak her in everywhere. She only weights a pound, but boy is she feisty.

I haven't heard her bark yet but she has a really cute growl.

I'm loving my life of puppy play and treats and tiny but very sharp teeth.

She's caught on to potty training very quickly. She's my third Pom. They are so much fun to train because they're so smart.

Thank you for taking the time to look and reply, JMCKUSICK.

You're a much happier lady now, and we're happy for you!

She's a peach of a Pom, and she's going to brighten your days for a long time.

The future does look brighter, at least in my little part of the world. I'm hoping to get some pictures of her in the snow tomorrow. I'm going to have to be careful not to lose all one pound of her. Thank goodness she's black.



I just checked the NWS.

WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 9 PM THIS EVENING TO

Thanks so much for being a pal, True.

I just can't live without a dog it seems. She's probably going to be my last. I decided that if I was going to ever do it, it was time for me to get the dog I've wanted since I was a little girl. She's it.

Right now she's asleep with her head inside the pig ear I gave her. It's almost bigger than her but it was the smallest one that I could find. It's probably going to last her a good while.

Thanks for being so sweet to me when Chi Chi and Butterbean crossed the bridge. I don't think that I'll ever stop missing them. It's still hard to think about. Thank you so much.

That I'm really enjoying getting to know and shape. I'm so happy to have her after losing both of my dogs in the same week.

My first Pom I named Napoleon, little dog, huge personality. My cousin who's my neighbor, used to raise cattle and Napoleon would run up to the bulls who were huge, over two thousand pounds, barking if they got too close to the fencing.

She is just as fearless. Runts are the best!

Thanks for your reply StarryNite. ❤️

My daughter had a 3 lb Chihuahua who based on her behavior must have thought she was lion. LOL

We lost our last two dogs two years apart. The last one died three and a half years ago. I miss them so dearly.

Enjoy every minute of your new little one. She'll help you get through the tough times ahead we are all facing. ❤️

She's in the middle. She's the runt of the litter, is ten weeks old and weighs one pound.

If it doesn't work let me know and I'll try again.
