hey how old are these two yay-hoos?

@Gillian708 Missed this question...sorry.

They are now much older than in the video. They are now 4 and 3 1/2 and still happy campers.

They now herd cats- 2 of mine, and 2 of my sisters cats, chase all bad birds and squirrels out of the yard and make a big fuss when the neighbor cats even think about coming in our yard.

hey , i think you should do a rundown of a list of things you would need to buy when you first get your puppy, esp small ones like pomeranians.

basically a puppy supply list

@BunnyPluff Hmmmm, good question.

Good food, a bed, bowls for food and water and I would put in more than one place in the house. I keep food and water in the kitchen and the bedroom. Baby poms have a tendency towards low blood sugar so I made sure mine had food at night in case they got hungry.

You have to decide if you are going to kennel them or not. I did not. Mine hog the bed at night.

They have beds they sleep in during the day but not in a kennel.

They need good chewies with the teething.

And you need to make sure they have small chewies and small enough toys to play with... most toys are made for big dogs with big mouths. You can get food for little dogs too which is a much smaller kibble which is also good.

I use a harness on mine as their necks are much too small to be pulled around by on a leash. They wear collars but on walks we use a harness. A harness is also good if I need to pull them up fast from the big dogs we encounter on walks.

That is what comes to mind.
