Boo Man Chiu

It is a hard thing to do, give up a pet you've raised from a pup. But with a new baby and her husband's allergies to Boo, one of my best friends asked if I would take him. I said I would take her dog, but not her husband.

Boo is the newest member of our family. He's mostly an orange puffball (my husband says he's gold) of a pomeranian. Big boy, too, at 22lbs. He's been with us close to four weeks now. He's weaned off the chicken and rice, and on a steady diet of Science Diet oral care. He's also slimmed down a bit and has a bit more definition in the hips. Must be all that pushing up and down the stairs. He hardly looks like the same dog anymore. Gone is the mortadella sausage. Eat your heart out, Richard Simmons!
