Theodore's makin' waves

Hee-hee! That's too funny!

Our pomeranian,Theodore aka Teddy, is too laid-back and docile to "make waves" very often. Instead, he's been trained to make his needs known by "waving" his front paws in response to yes for outside needs, water, or some cuddling/petting. He has also carried this action over when out for walks and wants to make friends with "humans". It's common to see him waving people over to greet them with special pommy kisses. His best friend is Roxy, our female pom. Their favorite game is fetch and occasional comical game of toy tug-of-war. They also like to wrestle and play tag.

Theodore is also loyal and compassionate. When his owner was injured and had knee surgery, he never left her side. Even in being fearful of her crutches, he'd carefully step over the injured part and snuggle up close. He'd then rest his little head on her knee and go to sleep.

Theodore has recently become a father of 2 baby poms. They are now 3 weeks old and beginning to interact with him. Theodore watches them intently and will clean his pups just the same as their mother.

Theodore is a great dog in many ways and we feel very lucky to have him!
