Dogonit

We have five Pomeranians. That's as many fingers as are on one hand for the counting challenged. Four of them aren't real Poms, as the dad Pom, Ebenezer, is half Pekingese. However, dogs aren't predjudiced, so they don't know they are less than pure. Even the mom Pom, Mega Pixel, who is pure, doesn't count as Pom's only matter if they weigh less than six pounds.

The American Kennel Club says:

Size, Proportion, Substance
The average weight of the Pomeranian is from 3 to 7 pounds, with the ideal weight for the show specimen being 4 to 6 pounds. Any dog over or under the limits is objectionable.

Pix put on about 4 pounds as a result of getting fixed, and hits the scale at 9.8, so she fits in the objectionable category. Fixed daddy dog Ebby also added about 50%, going from 9 pounds to 13.6. Nice thing about fixing daddy dogs these days, they do vasectomies, just like with guys. Ebby doesn't know he's shooting blanks.

Kid sisters are Ester, Emily, and Freckel. They fit the non-objectinable size as they aren't fixed. However, they aren't real Poms either, just 3/4 real. (1 + 1/2 = 3/4 for the fraction whatevered.)

Pomeranians bark. Lots. Generally during waking hours. Ours have special talent; they can howl in unison. We stupidly taught them that. Remember the sleeping tiger rule: Well, when they are asleep, we tiptoe.
