Surprise!!! The rumors are true!!!

Two Pomeranian Brothers have found a forever home with the Pommy Mommy family! Sometimes life just takes you by surprise, and that was the case with our two new rescue brothers Luka and Niko!

Go grab your Pommy, cozy up, and I’ll tell you all about how these boys won us over!

It all started the two days after we brought our little Mika home from the SPCA here in Nevada. I had scheduled a visit with our family Vet for Mika to have her all checked out and get more heart medication for the heart murmur she developed… so we needed to get her medical records because they were not in her file.

We rescued Mika on November 28th and went back to pick up her records on November 30th at 4:45pm – fifteen minutes before closing.

We walk in and saw Maria, the woman who helped us rescue Mika, she gave us the medical records and explained what the paperwork meant. When she was finished, she decided to mention to me that someone just dropped off 2 small Pomeranians a few hours ago.  She said the owner claimed that they had no time for them… and just left them there. I could not resist the temptation to go and look at them. I was afraid that I would fall instantly in love with them… but I still asked… “Can we go see them?” Ahhh the five little words that can change your life forever!

My husband and I made our way down the ramp that leads to a hallways filled with cages of dogs… all shapes and sizes. Maria stops at a cage and points at the two tiny Poms wagging their tails, looking up at us scared to death. Maria opened the cage and we each took one into our arms. They were GRIPPING us with their little paws (like they had fingers) holding on for dear life, meanwhile showering us with kisses. We both wanted to take them right then, however since they just got there, they still had to go through processing. Rabies, micro-chip… etc. Their hair was extremely matted with urine and poop stuck to it.  They smelled like someone had been neglecting them for a very long time. After being nearly kissed to death, we had to give them back to Maria… our hearts sank. It was closing time for the SPCA, so with big frowny faces we left as the little “black one” let out a yip as we walked away… just to pierce our hearts one more time.

We tossed around the idea of fostering them until they could find a forever home… however I knew that if we fostered them, we would end up adopting them anyway! So we decided then and there that the next morning we would wake up and go back to the shelter to scoop them up and take them home! That night, we could hardly sleep we were so excited! 

We followed Maria down the hallway filled with dogs in cages until we stopped in front of the same cage as last night! Maria said that she found out that one of them still needs to be neutered. We said you mean spayed right? She looked at us and said she discovered that they were brothers! We were shocked, because the whole time we thought they were girls! They were so heavily matted it was hard to tell! She asked us if we changed our minds because they were boys. My husband and I quickly responded – at the same time – that it didn’t change our minds about them at all! I squealed with delight that we were adopting boys! Who would have ever thought that I would be the Mommy of two brothers!?

We brought them up to the front desk to start the paperwork for them. For the time being we were told that we had to foster them because the SPCA was not aloud to adopt any pet that has not been “fixed.” Surgery was set for three days later for the “little brown one” – yep, that was his name for the first 6 hours we had him! We signed the foster papers and off to the dog wash we went! These kiddos were so filthy we could not even take them home before giving them a bath. They were both wonderful when we bathed them, brushed out all and cut out nearly 250 matts. As a little Pommy Spa extra we gave them a nice hot oil treatment for their very dry and flaky skin. After the spa treatment we picked out new collars and a kennel for them… then it was time to meet the family!

We took them out of the car and immediately placed them in the back yard, telling them this is where they go potty! After they sniffed around and made their “mark” we let the girls outside to meet their new brothers!

I still remained shocked that everyone gets along so well! Mika has even trained the boys how to ring the potty bells to go outside! They spend the afternoons playing with their toys, – green sock monkey and purple “Peep” (a stuffed version of the Easter marshmallow treat) seem to be the favorites – They will chase the toys up and down the hall, playing tug of war with them and rough housing with each other for hours on end. They truly are best friends and I’m so happy that they are apart of the Pommy Mommy home! They fit in great and add a little flair and spunk to the household!
