Sparky, the Dog of the Day
Name: Sparky
Age: Six years old
Gender: Male Breed: Pomeranian
Home: Madison, Wisconsin, USA
 
   I lost my fourteen-year-old Pom and was just devastated and swore I would never own another pet. It was just too hard to let them go. I went with a friend of mind to visit a kennel that raised Poms and they had three puppies ready to go. I saw this little guy and he came over to me and said with those big eyes that he wanted to go home with me. I tried to resist but it was useless he was just too cute. I picked him up and he started giving me puppy kisses and that was it, he came home with me. He was six weeks old and I have loved him ever since.

    Sparky is so full of energy and is a real retriever. He loves his toys and knows many of them by name. His favorite is a tiny little hamburger that he has had since he was a baby. He meets me with it at the door when I come home from work and will growl or bark until I throw it for him. He would play for hours if I would let him but will settle for a half hour or so of play. He knows when I don't feel well or am feeling down and will jump into my lap and give me kisses and then lay his head on my chest and just look at me as if to say that everything will be all right. He's the perfect pet and I can't imagine life without him and his sister Missy that is also a Pom. We sure do love him.
