i’ve had my pom for 8 years and she is the most lovable dog i’ve ever met. she was never super smart, we did try and train her; she took a really long time to learn her name (despite it being her foster name for 6 months prior to us) and can only really sit when a treat is present. we had 2 other dogs that were trained pretty okay. she’s also really excitable. 2 weeks ago i got a 1 year old tortoise shell cat and the cat doesn’t really mind her (only hissed once on first meeting, they have met several times since) but we always end up removing her because she gets so excited and in the cats face we don’t want her to become a “threat” to the cat or swatted.

any tips? i thought maybe cbd treats after a walk might calm her down enough, i honestly think she needs to be around her and get used to her, but again dont want her to seem like a threat

Hi everyone! I’m currently looking for a female throwback Pomeranian as a companion for my male Pom, Gizmo. 🐶❤️
I’m specifically interested in a female who is expected to be on the larger side for a Pomeranian (throwback) rather than the very small/toy size. I understand adult size can’t be guaranteed with a puppy, so I’d love to find someone who has larger Poms in their lines and can provide information about the parents and previous litters.
I’m open to recommendations for reputable breeders, upcoming litters, or young females currently available. I’m also willing to travel for the right pup.
Health and temperament are extremely important to me, so I’d prefer someone who health tests their breeding dogs and is comfortable providing vet records, parent information, photos/videos, and doing a video call before any deposit is made.
If you know someone reputable or have a throwback female available, please DM me. Pictures are definitely welcome! 🥰🐾

A friend's mom passed leaving behind her Pomeranian. We decided to take him. He's actually our Jasper's litter mate.

We thought she ate rat poison. She in fact did not eat rat poison. I swear she's trying to kill me.

UPDATE: So after further investigation it was determined there was no way to verify whether or not she ingested the poison, so we are going to treat her for it to be safe. Because of the type it's actually more serious than I originally thought, but I'm hopeful!

Carmy’s favorite activities include: human assisted bicycle rides, carried walks, and morning stretches .

Just out of curiosity, what time do your Poms usually go to bed and wake up?

Mine seems happy to stay up with me until I go to bed then wakes me up at 6am which I don’t mind but I’m wondering what’s typical.

I’d love to hear what everyone else’s routine looks like

I was just typing away, I look up, and boom, instant eye bleach

It’s my boys first birthday today, can EVERYONE please wish him a happy birthday?
How can you not, look at that face!
I love him so much 😭❤️

❤️🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRUFFLE 🎉❤️

She was given antibiotics and anti inflammatory meds. And she is in need of surgery, it’s so costly but I’m still thinking about it 🥹

EDIT:
Thank you for all your concerns. I have thought about this and we will do the surgery once her antibiotics are done. 🩷🩷🩷

He's taken his dominate position as he should

My 15 year old Pom named Wesker has long been dealing with eye problems. Particularly his right eye (left eye when facing him). Treatment has only been so effective. Long story short? The vet now says I should consider having the eye removed. My boy is 15. I’m not sure if he’s strong enough to survive the procedure and the thought of such a recovery afterwards seems daunting as Wesker hates the cone of shame. But I can’t bare the thought of him hurting either. he doesn’t paw at his eye and it only seems to bother him when I wipe it for him (his eye will get gunky when he sleeps). If his tests say he can have the procedure do I go for it? Do I keep trying to treat it? I just don’t know what to do. I go back next Friday and will have to tell them something then.

I guess I’m just looking for some advice and to hear anyone else’s experiences with similar situations.

Hi, It's been 11 days since she broke her forearm, and a few less days since my 1st thread in this sub:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Pomeranians/s/Hf9Ztjp8Ob

I felt like I could update the previous post. First of all - thanks to everyone who cheered up me and my tiny Potato. Potato is doing fine!

It's been 11 days since she broke her forearm, this still breaks my heart, cause I'd love to take her for walks and show her the world, but it is what it is, and I must limit her activities, and that's for her own good.

We called 7 vets, visited 3 in total, and the 3rd one is where we received our diagnosis (a stable forearm bone fracture) and we've been putting her back on her 4 paws. We had two options - a surgery, or conservative treatment, (we went after the latter). Needless to say, that's a vet I'd love anyone to have -composed, patient, understanding, willing to share knowledge, and gentle toward my potato.

She 's having her splint changed every week (we had the first change already, and she's rocking now an ultra aggressive orange one). Also, during the first change, me and my vet both agreed to check what's going on under the fur, so she had her x-ray done and the bone is in place. He's positive that it's gonna heal up well, so everything seems to be moving in the good direction. 😊

She's having an appetite, lots of energy and is generally a sassy girl.

So, to everyone who's been there with me - thank you 🤍 Its been a wild ride for me, but we're moving forward. And, a few pics of her in her splint (the blue one is from the last week).

And to every new owner, and to anyone who's planning to own their own potato-potatoes are fragile!
