Christmas Bling

These dogs are truly spoiled. My guys received a whole bunch of toys, treats and chews. Coco the tiny Pomeranian is the only girl of the bunch so she naturally received clothing and accessories. Although, since she is a Floridian dog she truly needs warm coats because she will freeze in this Northeast weather without them! Onix is extremely picky with treats so his gifts were squeaky toys. I feel as though the dogs were granted everything that they could ever want from Santa. 

The humans had a fun time opening gifts too but I personally enjoyed handing the gifts out. I didn't need anything this year other than the warmth of the fireplace and my family. I had both of these things this Christmas. I hope that this feeling will carry on through the new year. 

Floridian Dog

Simba and Buddha's cousin Coco (a 3.5 pound Pomeranian) will be moving back to our area. It gets very cold and I have heard that it will be a very difficult winter. Since she is tiny and since I am learning to sew, I thought it would be cool to sew her a little winter coat. I used my little Siberian Husky stuffed animal as a model since Coco has not moved here yet.

Finished Product

Certainly not perfect but I think it will do the trick!

Pretty in pink AND orange

We were all bored after the Christmas festivities. Clearly. Is it torture to find random pieces of fabric, place them on a unsuspecting dog and take pictures of them? Eh, whatever. They didn't care TOO much and it gave us all a laugh or two. I have to say that Onix looks fabulous in pink. Real men wear pink.

Two peas in a pod

Let's get philosophical for a moment. What is companionship? What is love?

I'd say the fiance and I only partially understand these concepts because when I look at Simba and Onix I realize that they GET it. Dogs don't hurt each other with words. Their lives are less complex and they feed off of each others energy. Don't get me wrong...humans feed off of energy too. I can feel negative energy when I walk into a room and it will make me feel uncomfortable. Dogs can also sense it and that is why they react differently in certain situations.

Where can you see a lot of this? Go to your local dog park. If you notice that a dog is exhibiting anti social behavior or is aggressive look to the owner. Recently, we met a woman with a female Shiba. The Shiba did not want anything to do with Simba (who was so excited to meet her). The owner and the dog had the same "don't come near me" demeanor and the same facial expressions! No lie! Who did the dog learn this from? DUH! Clearly, she was not a very nice woman and her Shiba displayed the exact same attitude. It's all about the energy people! It's for this reason that I remove myself from situations that involve people with negative energy. They bring me down and have no place in my life.

So I am trying to look at the calm that Simba and Onix exhibit (once in a while) and pick my friends carefully.

The truth about Honest Onix

Onix is a ten month old Pomeranian with a heart of gold. All this guy wants to do is play. It does not matter if you are two hundred pounds or five pounds. Onix came into our lives when my sister and her boyfriend brought him home at three months old. He has peed in every room of my house and has left putrid surprises in dark corners. None of that matters when he greets you with the sweetest kisses.

Onix greeted our baby Simba the very first day he came home. He went crazy when he saw Simba for the first time. Crazy good not crazy bad. He just wanted to meet the little pup and did not care about jumping or tugging on Simba's feet and ears. Great times. Simba didn't warm up immediately but they are now inseparable.

Mr. Onix is quite the devout spiritual man. His parents tell us that he prays all the time and tries to convert other dogs as much as possible. Sorry Onix! Simba is a Buddhist!
