My Little Pride and Joy
For months I had considered adopting another purebred Pomeranian to add to my to my family and bring tons of joy. I checked the purebred puppies on Washington Pomeranian Breeders every day as new puppies were added including pictures. I looked at many puppies, some were orange, some crème, black, chocolate and some were blue. I saw many cute puppies and was charmed by each of them. I wanted to bring them all home. Then I saw the puppy of my dreams. She was so cute and alert and she had the cutest smile on her little face that said “take me home!” I was smitten at once and knew this was the one puppy I had been searching for. Blue merle parti-colored she was with a little black nose and long white legs. Her ears are black and the color blends in with her blue markings on her head. She has a white blaze face and small white muzzle. She has a long white collar from the top of her neck to her shoulders, then blue merle on her body with a large black patch on her right side. The base of her tail is dark to the middle and the rest of it is white. She has tiny blue spots on her legs and paws and her pads are pink and blue. Her listed name was Exquisite Sarah. I spoke to an agent on the phone and he put my name on her and she would fly United Airlines from California to SeaTac airport that week and I would pick her up. I immediately had a name for her. I named her Celeste Babette Bouvier as I felt that fit her to a tea
In 2008, I spent the summer with my Uncle, Aunt and 2 cousins in Missouri. They picked me up at the airport, and the car ride was filled with discussion about a puppy they had just gotten 2 days prior. It was explained that my cousins wanted a dog since their friends’ family had gotten a dog recently. My Uncle, happy to oblige, stopped at a neighbor’s house one day, who was giving away puppies they could not care for, as is common in small town America. He picked out the cutest one and went on his way. The family was so happy to have “Roxy” in their home and on their farm.

Although my family had talked about getting another dog I never actually thought we were really going to. A couple days before we went to Lamancha, my parents had to fill out an application online for permission to adopt a dog from them.

I was sitting in our kitchen, about to eat, when my aunt went it. I ran over to her, happy to see her, and in her hands was a small, black and brown chihuahua. My aunt told me he weighed one pound. Of course, I immediately held him. I couldn’t resist. He was such a cutie! With pointy ears, big black eyes, and a small nose, he was the center of attention at our house. The puppy didn’t have a name yet, so we tossed around a few names. None of them were a good name for the pup.
When I was five years old my parents got me a dog for an early Christmas present. They got her from an animal rescue (?), and her name is Annie. Annie is a wired haired terrier with a smooth, yet rough, brownish-orange colored coat with a black spot on her back, white legs and a white belly. She also has two different colored eyes, one blue eye, and one brown eye; we call her crazy eyes sometimes, because of this.
