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!!! Reply
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. Reply
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. Reply
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. Reply
“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! ♥️ Reply

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. Reply
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 Reply
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 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻 Reply
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/ Shrleen Curtis Reply
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. 🙏😘 Reply
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 🐕 Reply
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! Reply
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! Reply
Cheryl it’s a boy his name is Baxter and he always wants attention he seeks it all the time always has! 🩵🩵🩵 Reply
