This is Brew, one of our members Poms. Not available, but wanted to share because, have you ever seen such a perfect toe beans shot!
Thank you to Annie Coughlin from Charm City Poms for sharing this warm fuzzy!
Champ came through surgery like a CHAMP! He kept all of his teeth, and they are now pearly white!
However, he did lose something unexpected… it turns out he was not neutered! He had an undescended testicle. It was a surprise for the vet when they were repositioning him during his dental.
Lady’s surgery also went well, she only lost one tooth! She was a very happy girl at the doctor’s office and made friends with everyone there!
If youd like to help with their surgery costs, as well as the other fire survivors, we have a GoFundMe set up for them https://www.gofundme.com/f/Support-Our-Fire-Survivors-PCCV.
How to Groom a Pomeranian for Summer
The harsh Summer sun can cause multiple possible problems. The sun has a gradual burning effect and may even change your Pomeranian’s fur color. A brown or black fur color may gain a reddish tinge. The sun may cause itchiness and/or peeling as the skin dries out.
To prevent such problems, use a good quality leave-in conditioner. The light spray helps prevent any harm, and if you select the right product, it will also work as a deodorizer, making your pet smell clean and fresh. You don’t need to use much. Spray and then brush his coat downwards so the conditioner is distributed properly.
Pomeranian Cuts For Summer
Don’t be tempted to have your Pomeranian clipped. Clipping your Pomeranian won’t keep him cool as the double coat works to insulate and keep your Pom cool in summer and warm in Winter.
Double-coated dog breeds like the Pomeranian often develop a condition called Post-Clipping Alopecia after clipping. If you must have a trimmed Pomeranian, talk to your Groomer about the best Pomeranian cuts for summer.
Ask the Groomer about trimming your Pomeranian with a short haircut using scissors. Cutting Pomeranian hair short with scissors instead of shaving is a better option. A show Pomeranian haircut is another option.

We were out today, and when we got home, Romeo walked up to me with a plastic bag on his head!
A couple of nights ago, I finished a bag of Cheez-Its in the bedroom and threw the bag in my bedroom trash can. Romeo got into the trash and tried to get the crumbs left in the bag. Somehow he got the bag stuck on his head.
You could tell he struggled to get the bag off because items in the living room were strewn about. When I took the bag off, he was drenched and the bag was filled with condensation. The remaining crumbs were mush. He made his way to the water bowl and drank for about 2 minutes and when he finally stopped and walked away, he was wobbly and not walking straight.
He’s curled up next to me sleeping now, but my heart is still racing thinking about what might have happened if we were gone a little while longer.
How often do we toss things in the trash without thinking?
Did you know that if you have a pacemaker, you can include it in your Will to be donated to a dog in need after you pass away?
Although pacemakers cannot be used for another human, they can help dogs with heart problems and potentially save their lives. You can arrange for the pacemker to be sent to a vet of your choice.
Many pacemakers are simply thrown away, and dogs may die because people do not know about this option.
Donating the pacemaker can even save the dog’s owner the cost of a new one, which can sometimes make a crucial difference in affording life-saving treatment.
A friendly reminder to not let your Poms walk on the pavement!

We need to tell you about Bandit.
Also known as The Fearless Fluffball, Braveheart Bandito, El Pequeño Valiente, The Furry Avenger, Mighty Mite, and Burrito Bandito.
This little Pomeranian has the heart of a lion.
We call him our littlest superhero because he once hurled himself sacrificially in front of a moving car to protect the person he loved. No hesitation. No fear.
That’s the kind of dog Bandit is, devoted, brave, and endlessly loving.
A true superhero.
The hallmark of every superhero is a compelling origin story — and Bandit’s is no exception.
Bandit belonged to a woman we call Mother Joy because that’s exactly what she was to him—his sun, his moon, his reason for everything. She adored and doted on little Bandit, and he followed her everywhere. He was her shadow, her guardian, her joyful companion. They were an inseparable duo, and Bandit’s world felt complete.
But then, tragedy struck.
Mother Joy passed away, and Bandit lost everything he knew and loved. Her family loves Bandit dearly and vowed to continue caring for him. But Bandit hasn’t wanted a new family.
He has wanted her.
And his life hasn’t been the same since. He has been sullen, withdrawn, and heartbroken.
So, in an act of great love and heartbreak, her family surrendered him to rescue—knowing he needed someone new to pour his whole heart into. A fresh start. A second chance at happiness. We welcomed Bandit into our care, hoping to help him heal and find that next great love.
But tragedy has struck our little superhero yet again.
Within just days of arriving, Bandit collapsed. Sudden vomiting. Bloody diarrhea. Arching and yelping in pain. We rushed him to emergency care in the middle of the night.
His bloodwork has been alarming, his phosphorus dangerously high, his body critically dehydrated, his intestinal motility gone. He is now undergoing urgent testing and treatment, but the truth is…
Bandit is fighting for his life. And we are fighting for him.
We don’t yet have a full diagnosis. But we do know this:
Bandit deserves every chance.
He deserves to live.
He deserves to love again.
He deserves to find a warm lap, a safe home, and someone who will see him the way Mother Joy did.
But emergency care is expensive, and his bills are already climbing fast.
We need your help to keep this little superhero alive.
Whether it’s $5 or $50, every donation brings us closer to the care Bandit urgently needs.
Every share could help connect him to the person who will help him find his joy again.
Heroes always show up in the story right when they’re needed most.
When the storm clouds gathering.
When hope feels out of reach.
When you think no one is coming…
And heroes don’t always wear capes or make grand entrances.
Sometimes, they just show up quietly.
When things are fragile
When the path forward is unclear.
When a little life is hanging in the balance.
Right now, Bandit needs someone to show up for him.
Because a dog who loves this hard deserves to be loved just as fiercely in return.
Thank you for being part of his rescue story, and for believing in superheroes, for mighty is the tiniest of hearts when it is filled with love.
It is why every dog will always be a superhero to us.
Calling All Heroes… One of our bravest needs backup.
Bandit once threw himself in front of a moving car to protect the person he loved. Now this tiny superhero is fighting for his life.
After losing the only person he ever loved, Bandit came into rescue heartbroken. Days later, he collapsed. He’s now in emergency care, critically ill, and we’re doing everything we can to save him. He deserves to live.
He deserves a second chance. Will you be part of his rescue story?

Mimi is very silky and soft with not much of an undercoat which makes grooming a breeze. She is happy cuddling with you in bed, sitting next to you on the couch, or hanging out in the office while you work. She is a fanatic for latex squeaky toys and comes running from anywhere in the house with a single squeak!
One of her favorite thing is belly rubs! If she sees you coming, she automatically flips to her back with all 4 paws straight in the air anxiously awaiting those rubs. While you’re there, she also enjoys having her chin and throat stroked. With her silky coat, it’s easy to stroke her for an hour!
When not playing or snuggling, she has claimed a spot on the top of the couch as her domain to snooze the afternoon away. She is house trained and didn’t mind the snow letting herself out through the doggie door.
She would do well in a house where she is given plenty of tosses of the squeaky toys and someone to hang out with all day. She tolerates our other dogs but would prefer to have you all to herself. She loves being with her people.
Mimi is a little on the chunky side and ideally should be closer to 8 pounds (currently she is 10lbs), so she needs a well-balanced diet and some exercise. She is a bit of a light eater, so this should be manageable. She does have a little trouble with her trachea when she gets worked up, so shorter walks or romps around the yard are more than enough for her. Her back right knee is starting to show signs of a luxating patella (slipping kneecap, very common in Poms and does not impact her mobility). Adding Cosequin or other glucosamine supplement to her diet and getting her weight down is important for her comfort and to keep her knees in good shape.
Mimi’s adoption fee is $500. This covers the cost of the veterinary care, dental surgery, 3 year rabies booster (good until 2028), and prescription food she received prior to surgery to improve her GI health. She had 4 teeth removed in February during her dental.
