A much better hair day!

After a trip to the doggie spa, where we were told he was a perfect angel. We don't believe a word.

4. Awwww! What an adorable doggy!

He looks very nice, they did a good job.

5. Usually they cut too much off.

Then he doesn't even look like a Pom and he is cold all the time. They did much better this time. He doesn't look naked. He weighs less than 7 pounds and without his hair he is tiny.

We are his third home and now his longest. He had lots of behavioral issues, but we've worked through the worst of them. He is not socialized very well. His life has been: puppy mill, lady's carry around dog, then he was a spoiler of connubial bliss (he goes or I go said the wife) and then us. We will have had him six years next month.

6. Poor little guy! He looks like a Pom should look, especially with the fluffy tail

I dog sat for a Pom for several weeks awhile back and she was the sweetest dog. My dogs have been rescue, too. My Cairn Terrier had been through five homes in six years, none of them his fault, a death, family moving cross country, etc. I was his longest since he lived to 18 1/2. And it sounds like your little cutie has found his forever home with you.

7. He has not had to go through the shelters and that is good.

They would have had a difficult time placing him. His name was Mango when we got him. It did not fit. We renamed him Manny (or Little Man). There was a sweet female Pom here before him, who left us way too young. Manny can be sweet, but I would never call him sweet. At ten years old, I think he is going to remain a grouchy member of the pack here. His idea of fun is to go out in the yard and bark (for hours) at the buzzards that hang out down the hill.

Later ....

8. Same with my dog Rags.

He never fell though the cracks, always had a home, just that there were several. He was always a little aloof and he definitely preferred men. He went nuts over any man with a beard, I always thought there must have been someone in his history that he loved. But he totally bonded with my Dad. I had him from age six to almost his 19th birthday.

Your little guy is sure cute, which is certainly in his favor. And I think it's a small dog thing. I now have a Brussels Griffon and when he goes outside he barks at everything that's moving...
