I had a bit of an attitude about small dogs. I'd only ever had larger dogs, like black Lab size.
I figured small dogs were annoying, yappy things.
And they were uncool.
Especially when people put clothing on them or took them into stores.
Then a 2-1/2-year-old Pomchi named Bear needed a home. A friend suggested him to me. I met him and thought, "Well, he's kinda cute. Maybe I'll give him a try."
After his first night here, I woke up angry from hearing his sharp barking. I wanted to give him back to his foster family and say it isn't going to work.
But my kids really wanted him. I decided to try one more night. I put him in a cat kennel we had, and he slept silently by my bed all night.
From then on, 16 months now, we have been inseparable.
Large dogs have lost their appeal. I now adore small dogs - especially Bear.
"Where have you been all my life?" I say to him, and he seems to say it back.
I love my Pomchi more than words can say.
