It must be morning; I’m hungry.
Then again, I’m always hungry, so it could really be any time.
I can hear the shower and feel the sun on my back, so I’m guessing that mom is awake.
I lift my head off my bed and look down the hallway.
I want a shower too.
Sometimes I try and get in but she won’t let me.
Boring.
She’s not so happy in the mornings anymore.
She used to be, but things have changed.
I think it’s stress.
Not sure what that is, but I know it’s not good.
It’s a human thing.
I’ve heard her talk about it on the phone.
Don’t really know what a phone is either, but I know they’re good to chew on.
Chewing is one of my favorite things, even now and I am considered a senior. In the old days, we wrestled every morning me and Mom, or played tug of war.
She would pull my ears and I’d jump and run away then back to her.
These days, not so much.
She’d throw the ball, I’d fetch. She’d throw it again and again, and, I’d fetch it, or she would grab it like she was taking it and we would tug back and forth, that was fun.
What amazing games and so much fun, we don’t do that as often as we used to. But, when warmer weather comes maybe she will feel like my mom again.
She would laugh and talk human. I’d growl, and try to talk back.
I’d laugh if I could, mostly, I’d just wag my tail.
I think it’s sad that humans don’t have tails.
Sometimes she’d lose focus, so I would have to nudge her, hey I’m still here.
Maybe a little nip on the hand just to keep her aware of my presence.
How much fun can one Pomeranian and one human have? Lots and lots!
Sometimes, I wonder if she still loves me. We both are older now and slowed down so maybe she wonders if I still love her.
I’m still a huge licker and lick her anyway because she’s my favorite human in the world.
I get so excited to see her when she is gone all day or what seems like all day to me.
When she hugs me or strokes me my tail wags all by itself!
We hang out with other dogs and humans.
I mostly played with Oscar the King Charles Cocker who lives across the street, he’s my bestest dog pal. His boss is nice and she smells like vanilla, I licked her once, and She didn’t taste so good.
We don’t walk much these days like we did, she says it’s too cold but I’m so ready to go.
She is gone a lot from home and I’m alone now that my best buddy Pepper has gone to Rainbow Bridge that was a hard time for me and my mom. She talks on her phone a lot or she looks at it all the time, I hate that phone.
I’m gonna eat it when she’s not looking. So she won’t have it anymore she will just have me
When I was a puppy we used to go everywhere together. She was teaching me new things every day. She said I was a fast learner whatever that means. But I did get treats for the things she was sharing and I would do them that was always fun. I really miss the rides in her car and the wind in my face, until the day I thought maybe I’d jump out that thing mom calls a window when we got home before the car stopped. Now when we do ride no more wind in my face what’s up there? no fun at all. She said I could have been killed what? I was digging it. So what’s the point of that car ride with no wind in my face? Like having a bone you can’t chew, just stupid, and takes all the fun out.
She says to me each afternoon we’re going to walk soon I promise, I’m so adorable, I don’t understand why she doesn’t want to walk and show me off. In fact, I don’t get it at all. And another thing, I used to sleep on the end of her bed, used to (heavy sigh)
But now apparently I shed way too much. whatever that means. And I can only take naps with her on the new bed in the daytime, and for a short time. I too have a new fluffy bed on the floor beside her. I’m not a fan of that new bed it doesn’t smell like her, but when she got the new bed she got me one too I didn’t want one I liked the old bed with her in it. As that newness of that bed wears off she lets me up there more and more so maybe one day I’ll be back there with her full-time, like in the old days.
Anyway, I’m very excited about today, I’m gonna hang out with Oscar for a while.
He’s my bestest dog pal from across the street remember? I can’t cross the street or I get in big trouble. So I get as close to the edge as I can and I am anxiously awaiting Oscar and his mom or dad to walk across the street to me.
I’m not really sure what kinda dog he is, but it doesn’t matter.
He’s pretty smart but not quite as handsome as me.
We do fun stuff together every day.
Mostly we chase birds.
I don’t like those birds not sure why. But my mom says stop that no chasing the birds. We also get into the neighbor’s garbage he sits in a box in his driveway while our mommies chat. Then we get caught and we have to go in and I get a bath ugh, I’d rather get in the shower with Mom. She lets me go out back in the sun on the screened-in porch to finish air drying. While I am out there I might lay in the sun,
and chew my foot for a while,
I might have a power nap too.
Chasing birds makes me tired, and that garbage I ate from the neighbors driveway earlier was ok going down but my tummy doesn’t feel so good right now, I’m glad mommy stopped me before I ate more. After my nap, I’ll chew my foot a little more, I really like to do that a lot, hey reckon my mom should lay in the sun with me and chew her foot for a while It’s so relaxing. It might help with her stress.
Whatever that is.
Debbie, I loved this story! My husband and I often wonder what our little dog would be saying if she could talk. She’s about 11-12 yrs old. Our son rescued her from people who were abusing her. She was left deaf and blind on one side and spins in that direction when she walks but she can run fast in a straight line! She’s part chihuahua and my baby now. Our son lived w us soon after he rescued her but moved to the metroplex to an apartment where she wasn’t allowed plus we were so attached, we weren’t letting her out of our sight. She still gets so excited when he comes home for a visit. She will sleep w him and they have their own language w howls and so many funny sounds. 🤣 She use to get really depressed when he would leave but now that she’s attached to me, she whines when he’s leaving for his benefit, but recovers quickly. 😂 She loves to play still. We discovered last year that she has Cushings disease and a liver problem but after months of treatment and it’s improving, she has started running laps around the yard, through the house, so excited, with a happy grin on her face. She has so much fun when she’s able to run like that and it’s a new thing for us to see! We know she’s feeling good! We’re planning to travel w her this year for the first time. I’m a little nervous about it bc we have a wonderful place to board her and she loves them and they love her. She’s so spoiled, I don’t know how that will affect a vacation w her along. 🤣 I don’t know why my husband had to do that!😂 She’s not our first. We’ve had furbabies most of our marriage and at one time, had 7 when we inherited another son’s dog who was pregnant and soon had 4 puppies! In fact, we chose our first dog and after that we took in our sons 2 dogs and one had puppies and we kept his dogs and a puppy. Then my mom went into the nursing home and we took her little, Sassi. And our now dil gave us her little maltese to take care of while she had a live in nanny position out of town several years ago, but me and that baby got so attached, she ended up giving her to me. Most of our babies lived to about 16 except for momma dog, Lucky, and she had cancer. We loved and enjoyed all of them with their individual personalities ❤️
I hope you and your little furbaby write some more stories. And I loved the pics!!!
I feel like you will make the right choice. If you are sure she is going with you I do hope it all goes well and no hiccups what so ever.
This was so cute. Loved it!!1
I have had my American Eskimo Dog from Gerties Small Dog Rescue for a year now. We are together most of the time. I know she feels the same way about the phone. She doesn’t know how to play as a puppy mill rescue it was something she never experienced.
Your puppy is blessed to have you!
He’s so cute!!! I loved the story.
Loved this
Thank you ❤️
I love this so much. I have always shared life with a dog.
Ohmygosh I love this post and can relate. I have 2 Dashunds and both are girls from the same litter. You did an excellent job of thinking what Baxter is thinking and saying.
Enjoy your BFF being with you and y’all have a great day with a lot of new memories being made and a lot of laughter.
“If only our dogs could talk” … my hubby has said that many times, of his constant companion outside ~ our Lab.
He LIVES to play ball, always carrying it with him, just in case someone has time to throw it for him! When anyone’s outside, he will bring his ball, drop it at your feet, then stare at you, ♥️then stare at the ball, repeating over and over. He would NEVER consider not running to fetch it even if he had retrieved it already, a bazillion times, & it’s 100* out! 😂
Dogs are great companions, we are Thankful that he’s such a good outdoor guy ~ he’d love to come indoors … but sheds terribly… year around! He does have a nice comfy bed in the garage ~ with a heater and a heat lamp, if it gets chilly! ♥️

Loved it! Life certainly has its challenges. Be blessed!
I love this! Often wonder what our little Weezie thought. We lost him a year and a half ago. He was thirteen years old. As far as stress goes these days, it’s so hard today. I don’t know anyone that this doesn’t affect. Yes, I believe our pets get stressed also. The last two days I’ve been on the road getting groceries, meds and other errands done. Tomorrow my granddaughter will be coming for a visit. I am looking so forward for this time with her. I’m going to try and block out the troubles of this world for a little while! Debbie, you are in my prayers every night. God is going to get us through this stressful world one day. But, while we are here, we will serve Him!! God bless.
What a cute story from Baxter’s view point! Loved reading this story, Debbie!😊❤️
So cute you are Baxter.❤
It’s funny how we can know what our puppers are thinking. I don’t have a pom but a shipoo. She loves chasing cats lol
What would we do without them…really. Always there by our side ♡ 🐾
Great story Debbie
I love Baxter’s story, Debbie. I think my
pup would have a very similar story. I’m a worry wart and often stressed. I’m moving much slower these days and dealing with several health issues. I know Ellie doesn’t understand why I’ve slowed down. She also needs lots of attention which I gladly give her. I guess she’s a little bit spoiled.
It’s been snowy and cold here in the Northeast. Ellie and I are both looking forward to spring and getting outside in the sun and warmth again. Praying that spring bring us all relief from stress and worry.
God Bless you, and handsome Baxter too 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻
Was a fun story. I miss my little dog she passed a couple years ago. All she did was sleep. She did love the outside in the yard/

Adorable Baxter story! Can relate to you with the stress….I know I bring it on myself because I’m a worrier. Have been asking God to help me not worry or stress so much, especially about things things coming up that haven’t even happened yet. Hope we both find relief from our stress, Debbie. 🙏😘
Love, Love, Love this ❤️❤️❤️
I can almost hear him saying those things and just like you typed it !!!! It brightened my day 😍
He’s adorable and handsome, too 🐕
I loved this. Written from your heart through your dog’s eyes. Thank you for this story. My cats would probably say similar things, because I’m probably the best worrier you will ever know!
Love hearing Baxter’s take on things…

Oh my ❤️so cute!
Your little Pomeranian is adorable Debbie! I like his side of the story, I think he wants more attention….I’m not sure if its he or she. I think everyone is anxious for spring including your Pom!
Cheryl it’s a boy his name is Baxter and he always wants attention he seeks it all the time always has! 🩵🩵🩵
Aw! What a precious story! Sweet Baxter!
