Mommy's little girl....

Taffy Tug n Pull.
Born Oct 21 2007, she is quite the little personallity. She is very smart and remembers when told something pretty much the first time of being corrected. Most times she sleeps by my head at night on the pillow. She loves all her toys even the broken and chewed up ones.
She got her long name from in the first week she was with us she grabbed Sugars tail and started pulling her but she was so small she really had to tug to move Sugar.. Pommys have such bright eyes and there is such soul behind them. They really have the heart and soul of there ansesters of long ago. The Spitz dogs and Icelandic dogs are their heritage. They still have the heavy under coat of the sled dogs and are prefectly happy to be out in the snow. Our big boy Bear Bear loves to sit out in the snow or play in the snow. One of the big things I love about the Pom is there is very little grooming with them. They groom them selves like cats keeping their faces clean and the fur is very easy to maintain. We brush the puppys to keep them knowing what a brush is so when they do throw there coats at 6 months its not hard for them to get brushed. After they get in there adult coats they just need the occational brush. They do have very strong wills, and have to be reminded all the time who is the alpha dog (us). Even the puppys have to be shown who is boss. I growl at our puppys if they get snippy and there not behaving. Poms are not for everyone for sure, but its very rewarding the love they show us being one of their pack members.
I dont feel we own our animals like you own a car or a house, but our animals are part of the family, with the dogs we are part of the pack and with the cats we are part of there pride. Even some of the dogs are part of the cats pride its funny to see the cats curl up with the dogs.
There is a harmony in our madness here. Even Falcor is considered part of this pack/pride.
