   Top o' the mornin' everyone!

    Hi! My name is Hunter, and I am a seven pound, 21-month-old pure-bred Pomeranian! I live in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia Canada with my Grammy and Grampy! My Mommy and Daddy got posted over to Belgium last summer (my Daddy works there for the military), and they just didn't have the heart to put me on a plane. They were so afraid that I would be afraid, and truth be told... I probably would have been. Sooooo many tears were shed, as they made the very difficult decision of leaving me behind to live with my Grammy and Grampy! They knew I would be very well taken care of, and they also knew how much they already loved me sooo much. I practiced staying over by having sleep-overs first. Their house was very fun, as they had another Pomeranian (Meiko), two cats (Crumpet and Shiraz), a Savannah Monitor (Amicus) and numerous other lizards, all owned by my mommy's brother Uncle Wesley, and a fish! It was quite busy there for a while. Then, sadly, a month after my Mommy and Daddy moved away, Meiko passed away, and Grammy was very very sad. That's where I really stepped up to the plate. She called me her little furry angel. I knew how sad she was feeling, so I just quietly stayed beside her all the time. Then, she decided to start taking me for walks along the waterfront, cause she didn't want me to be sad either, and little by little, day by day, the pain lessened. We still miss Meiko a lot, but we always remember, and talk about him.

    I keep Grammy and Grampy laughing all the time. I love to play fetch, run free at the cottage, and SWIM! I surprised everyone last summer, when I decided to show them my swimming abilities! I went in after a pinecone, and my hind end bobbed, so I figured the rest of me would bob as well... and it did! My Mommy and Daddy bought me a pool for the back yard to keep me in shape between cottage visits, and also a life-jacket when I'm in the boat. I am also great at Photo-Shoots! My Grammy made a calendar for Mommy and Daddy for Christmas, and I posed like a pro! (The special hugs and treats between each shoot weren't too bad either!) This photo is the one she used for the month of March.

    I love to visit my cousins Pepper (a beautiful German Shepherd/Husky) and Miley (a beautiful Lab\Golden Retriever). They both live in New Brunswick. We have a lot of fun together. I have to work a little harder to keep up with them, but they are very gentle and include me in all their games! We're just three big dogs having fun!!!

    Well, I hope you enjoyed reading about me, and the pictures! I know Grammy and I really enjoy reading all about you guys too!

   Bye now,
   Hunter!
