Monkey, the Dog of the Day
Name: Monkey
Age: Eleven months old
Gender: Male Breed: Pomeranian
Home: Carlisle, Pennsylvania, USA
 
   Monkey is so special to us because my wife and I had to put our ten-year-old Pomeranian (Hopper) to sleep last September for poor health issues. And we kept saying the last year or two that we did not want any more pets after Hopper, but you know, it only took us two to three days without one running around the house and no one to greet you when you come home to break our hearts.

    We saw in the local paper that there were some Pomeranian puppies who would be ready for adoption the beginning of October so we went to look at them and we fell in love with this little (or should I say) "big" guy. I say big because there were six puppies to his litter and he for some reason stuck out to Lisa and I. Out of the six he was the biggest and I Immediately named him "Chunky Monkey."

    I keep telling Lisa that Hopper sent him to me because I see so much of his behavior being like Hopper's. Monkey is so gentle and loving! He loves to be held and cuddled and he will fall asleep right in your arms. He loves doing all the things that puppies do and when he does do something "bad" and we scold him he kinda pouts and has that look like "I'm sorry, now pick me up and love me." Lisa and I actually went for double the trouble because we purchased Monkey's little sister also and we named her Grace's Amazing Touch (but we call her Gracie). Since last October my and Lisa's life have been so enriched with this guy in our lives!
