Tiny dogs are the next best things to babies! My pommies weigh in at about four pounds–though smaller than most human babies they’re oh so warm and satisfying to hold! They love to be cuddled and will lay in virtually any position, whether it be on my shoulder, burping fashion, or lying bonelessly on their backs in my arms, or flattened out on my chest as I watch TV or read.
In many ways they’re even better than babies. You don’t have to suffer through nine months of progesterone poisoning, swollen ankles, stretch marks, or twenty hours of labor to get them. Tiny dogs won’t keep you awake all night, spit up on you, cost a fortune in diapers, get mysterious rashes or outgrow their shoes every two weeks. Tiny dogs don’t throw tantrums (usually), don’t repeat every naughty word they hear, don’t come home with strange piercings or tattoos, date insolent boys or look at you like you’re insufferably stupid, possibly brain-damaged. You also don’t have to pay for a tiny dog’s college, and, it’s not only legal, but responsible to spay them.
