Pomeranians for Sale

New Puppy, originally uploaded by AprilDreams.

On the way to work, there is a house that has Pomeranian puppies for sale. I pass this sign twice every day. It makes me feel certain feelings.

They are unwise feelings, but I feel them. Feel them so hard.

Every day when we drive past the sign, I glance over at Amy and she glances over at me and then she says, in a very firm voice, "NO."

I laugh but then sometimes try to wheedle her. "I just want to go look at them," I lie. Amy is not fooled. "What if they're irresistible?" she asks.

Dang, how do I answer that? You know the damn things would be irresistible. I'd get in the house determined to be a looky-lou and indulge in some puppy-sniffin', then I'd see one of the fuzzballs and BAM! I'd be washing the poop from a Pomeranian's butt with a moist towelette every day for the next 20 years. All because I couldn't resist a sign.

Baroo.

I had a rescued Pomeranian/Corgi cross when I was a kid. He was totally and utterly insane. We could only keep him for a week, he was that insane. But cute. Cute on a massive scale.

You see, the more I look at it, the more I want to cuddle it. And tickle its tiny little feet. And cuddle it some more. And take it home and buy six others to keep it company.

You are doomed if you go to view these puppies.

HAHAH! I love this reply, it perfectly sums up my feelings. The teensy little feet! The need to collect more to keep the first company! Haha! It's all there.

Today when I drove past the sign, I heard You are doomed if you go to view these puppies. in my head and started laughing. So true.

I think it was the Corgi part of him. My parents had a Chihuahua/Corgi mix and she was bonkers, but since she had the tiny stubby Corgi legs everything she did was pretty much hilarious.

Oh! So cute! What are the good reasons for not getting one other than hairy bottoms? My best primary school friend had one called Bonnie.

I think Poms are prone to some of the common tiny dog ailments (bad knees, skull malformations, things like that) but really the main reason I couldn't get one is money. I'm very paranoid about having money in case of emergency medical for Hazel, let alone another dog. So that, even more than a fuzzy bottom, would keep me from getting another dog. Oh and I've heard they're extremely barky! But it's a really cute little squeaky toy bark.

CUTE!!! I've known a couple different Poms and didn't like them but that could be from the way they were "raised". How about a nice Pekingnese?? I hardly EVER have to wipe anything off Gigi.

Adorable, I want so snuggle w/ him - I'd be taking one home too, I cannot resist the furries. If I wasn't seriously vigilant w/ myself we'd be one of those families on the 6 O'Clock news w/ a couple hundred cats in the house...

I don't know if you heard the story about a week ago, they found an old couple living in a very big trailer with 800 tiny little dogs. When she saw it on the news, my mother called me and said, "That could be me." I told her 10 dogs is a far cry from 800, but she definitely saw kindred spirits in that couple.

It's a little easier for me, since I'm in an apartment, but if I had my own home I would have a really huge problem. A fenced-in yard will be my downfall! I will adopt everything in sight.

i did read the story - i thought it had to be a misprint, i mean 800! sadly i can relate too, it is hard to deny an animal. which is why we have 6 cats and 1 dog that are all rescues from one source or another.

Can you imagine seeing them together? Of course I imagine you would have a nervous breakdown chasing dogs with hairbrushes all day and standing knee-deep in sheddings, but still. Too cute.

Nah, I gave up on trying to keep Mischa pristine ages ago, it's just impossible, especially given his hippie I Like To Lay In The Dirt tendendcies! When Lisa was here last month, she kept calling Mischa "Rainbow the hippie dog".
