Are you serious???

I want to see a pic of Nelly beside Jack

I love foster failures and Jack was so lucky to get such a great mom!

That wouldn't be a mini.. It would simply be a Pomeranian..

The breed standard is 3-7 lb.. breeders aim for 4-5 lb in dogs they want to show.

If you are showing, you have a much better chance of putting up a 2 or 3 pound dog. A 5 pound dog has next to no chance of placing in the ring unless he/she is absolutely outstanding in all other aspects. (And yes, this is from several years of experience showing poms.)

Frenchy - it isn't the size that's killin' ya. It the coat!!! That poor pup has NO coat at all!

I think you need an intervention almost as much as hazel does!

Congratulations all around, Frenchy! He's a doll! And a lucky boy, to boot!

You needed a small accent piece to break up all the big silhouettes!

Frenchy he's adorable! I love that last photo of him playing with the other dogs. The smile on his face says it all!

How is he getting along with the felines?

I am NOT saying one word...not one word!!

Frenchy, travelling with him was wonderful but he missed you so. What can I say - you are the best person for him and besides you are both tiny and blond....almost twins!!

Big hugs to you and little Jack

(Frenchy is a little dog person now...)

OMG, Nelly is not going to see him when she runs , maybe you need to attach one of those orange flags on the long stick that people have on their wheel chairs so vehicles can see them.

You know I truly feel that it is little Jack is an adoption failure. Frenchy for sure is a foster failure with a nudge since she knows that due to his little quirk - he would be very tricky in adopting out. Maybe it was his master plan...(the little bugger).

Truthfully though, I do not think that he would be happier anywhere else. He loves Frenchy to bits. (don't tell her, but when I took him he whined for her while I was driving him away). He settled down after a while but he knew where he REALLY wanted to be....back with mommy!!!
