POTENTIAL DANGER OF POMERANIAN HAIR ~ In a press release today, the National Institute of Health has announced the discovery of a potentially dangerous substance in the hair of pomeranians. This substance, called “amo-bacter canine” has been linked with the following symptoms in female humans: *reluctance to cook *reluctance to perform housework *reluctance to wear anything but onesies or show suits*reluctance to work except in support of a dog show*physical craving for contact with Pomeranians (may be an addiction) Beware! if you come in contact with a female human affected by this substance be prepared to talk about poms for hours on end. This was a public service announcement … Surgeon General’s Warning: Pomeranians are expensive, addictive, and may impair the ability to use common sense.
The Pomeranian world has suffered a great loss this week. Margaret McKee was taken from us suddenly on Monday night.
She was a founding member of the Pomeranian Club of Central Virginia 15 years ago and has been active ever since holding numerous offices, In addition, she was a founding member of both the Greater Baltimore Pomeranian Club, the Mid Atlantic Field Spaniel Club and was a member of the Richmond (Va) Dog Obedience Club (RDOC) for an amazing 45 years!!
Her prowess in the Pom world was so well known, she warranted a paragraph in the book Pomeranian: A Comprehensive Guide to Owning and Caring for Your Dog (Comprehensive Owner’s Guide), Juliette Cunliffe, 2011.
Margaret spent the last 50 years breeding, showing, and competing. She leaves the Pom world better than when she found it. She even found time to raise a future AKC Judge (Rachal McKee Sager).
Her absence will be felt at every show when you look ringside and she’s not in her usual spot near the entrance and every meeting/event when you don’t see the “PomMom” license plate parked right up front. Margaret once told me that she’s had the ‘PomMom” VA Plate since the mid-70’s! I don’t know anyone that’s had the same plates for that long.

Almost five years ago we set up our dog run. We sectioned off a part of the yard next to the deck and filled it with mulch. This solution worked well, but it does take a bit of upkeep. Upkeep is even more challenging when you must buy mulch by the bag instead of a truckload. When you add over 200+ days of rain last year, it leads to chaos!
The dog run has been overtaken by weeds! We decided to re-do the dog run and to re-do it better than we did 5 years ago. We are fast tracking this project because Cody has decided it’s better to go in the house and with him taking Lasix for heart failure, he goes a lot! They are also too prissy to get their precious paws wet to go outside when it’s at all wet.
A portion of the funds raised during my birthday fundraiser will be used for some of the materials. Some of the materials we already purchased and some are listed on a separate Amazon Shopping List titled “Dog Run/Yard Project”.
Hopefully this setup will last for a number of years and be easier to maintain than the mulch alone.
If you have any of these items hanging around your shed or
garage, we’d be happy to take them off your hands!
