Polo is twelve years old. And just as ridiculously cute as he was when he was twelve weeks old.
I am convinced that half of the charm of a Pomeranian is that they always LOOK happy.
And I think the other half is that they always ARE happy.
It also helps that they bear a distinct resemblance to both red pandas and foxes.
A line from a dog-related song autumn's writing suggests itself: '...her tongue was as pink as the ham...'
Softest fur ever.
Oh man, POOF CITY.
I think Poms are the only toy dogs that I will admit to liking. My aunt in Taiwan had one. Just melted on your lap like Tare Panda.
Autumn and I are sort of in the same boat. We both love the personality of pugs, and their appearance sparks rather a lot of pity from us (you poor thing, it’s so awful what humanity has done to you) but I don’t think we’d want one.
Then again, I admit to a certain amount of fascination for Chinese Cresteds after I met Mr. White (the one that I posted on here a while back). He was just so friendly, and yet had a lot of the attitude of a husky (‘I’m awesome and I know it!’), so that it came out in him as ‘I’m awesome and so are you! How ’bout we be awesome together?’ If they’re all like that, I could get used to the hairless thing. 🙂
