We
adopted Haskal when he was two months old and weighed
approximately one pound. He looked and acted like a wind-up toy. He
had two "big" sisters, one a poodle and one a Himalayan
cat, who comforted him, played with him and taught him "the
ropes". From the beginning, he knew he was special in our
family! Haskal slept on the bed with me with his head on the pillow
and blanket around his neck, just like a real person, often giving
unsolicited kisses in the middle of the night.
Haskal had an understanding of 35-40 words and as any pomeranian
owner knows, he was very smart. My daughter was taking a college
marketing class and needed to make a speech, or a college level
"show & tell." Her subject was Pomeranians. Haskal went
to the University of Georgia and as my daughter gave her speech, he
went up and down each row of students, introducing himself, and went
to the professor last. Had she known it would have played out like
this, my daughter would have tied a bright red apple to his collar to
give to the professor. Incidentally, my daughter received a grade of
"B" and Haskal received an "A."
Haskal came to live with us the day after Thanksgiving, 1982, and
passed on to "Pet Heaven" the day after Thanksgiving, 1997.
We truly had a six pound baby for fifteen years.
