Hard decision, but best for Cupid

Waiting for mommy to throw the ball
So Jerry and I have talked and decided that we are not giving our Pomeranian, Cupid, all the exercise he needs.  He is a Pomeranian with the energy and athleticism of a Retriever.



Chillin with his bros










We are looking for home with an active person, couple or family that will play frisbee and fetch with him, take him on walks and runs every day so he is more happy and less bored.  Barbara from Phabulous Poms  is helping us because in addition to being one of the nicest people I've met in a very long time, she is a also a breeder of show poms and shows her own dogs as well.


Helping me with my Bejeweled Game
We will only home him after we meet the family and they must be in drop off range of Richmond, VA, so we can make sure it is an appropriate environment.  We are in no hurry and will only agree to adopt him out if we both agree that the potential adopter seems ok.


If you are interested, please leave any comments or questions below in the Comments section or Go To my Home Page and click on Cupid's picture to send me a message.
