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.
