In June's Humthink, a monthly article which chronicles the antics of a bilingual Pekingese, Manticore Miss Bah-Humbug, as told to her owner Louise W. King., also known ^The Big Crazy, "Bug" tells the tale of a New York misadventure undertaken by her friend, Pom Frite. It is so refreshing and Pom-like that I reprint it here...Sipr'HUMTHINKOr Pom Frite Strikes Twice by Louise W. KingSo Ill recount an Histoire du Pom Frite...although Pom Frite is not her real name and she is not a Pekingese Pom Frite has frequently visited us in Connecticut, disguised as a Disruptive Element...and turns up at a lot of unexpected places in a black bag. Places such as the opera, movies, restaurants, airplanes...and Saks Fifth Avenue.Once upon a time last April,Pom Frite and her owner lunched with The Big Crazy at the China Bowl. Pom Frite was as good-as- gold-plated and quiet as a crocodile, in the black bag during lunch.After lunch, en route to a movie Strictly Ballroom, highly recommended by The Big Crazy, Pom Frite was let out of her bag, to zoom along the sidewalks of New York. At the corner of Eleventh Street and University Place, Pom Frites attention was attracted by a small portly child, walking along the opposite edge of the sideThePom Reader July 1993walk...hand in-hand with his mother. Pom Frite lunged at the child, almost quicker than the eye could see...but was mercifully intercepted by her scarlet retractable lead. There was a flurry of surprised exclamation and apology...then everyone continued on their way.A block from the movie house, Pom Frites owner discovered that her checkbook was missing from the pocket of her parka - but was unconcerned. After the movie,Pom Frites owner called her answering machine, for word of the missing checkbook...and indeed, someone reported that it was found Someone not very far away. Pom Frite and her owner hurried off to collect the checkbook.Later that evening, Pom Frites owner called The Big Crazy - a trifle rueful - because the checkbooks rescuer was also the small, portly child's mother - and Pom Frite had siezed the opportunity tolunge at the child again, in his own apartment, while her owner was thanking the mother for returning the checkbook. The Big Crazy said, consolingly, that she thanked God she owned slow-moving Pekingese and that she never carried her checkbook in a shallow pocket1993, Louise W. King Reprinted from The Orient ExpressLouise W. King is a highly-regarded author and a good friend "Bug" is going on fourteen years of age Pom Frite belongs to a neighbor of theirs and Pom Frite's owner subscribes to this magazine I believe this will come as quite a surprise.Our thoughts are with all those suffering from the devastating floods in the midwest.

Yup that is what I wanted.I purchased a Dog World and read all the adds and checked off those that said what I wanted to hear. Then one by one I called breeders and listened to what they said about their dogs. There was a lady in Iowa who would send me a picture of a litter and let me choose one.Then she looked at a map and decided that I lived too far away to send one of her babies to me.It tookthis pink wet tongue slurped my face.

She lives with me in her own apartment in my large house overlooking mountains in the far northern part of Marne. It is not the end of the earth, but you can see it from here. To go a show in this state you have to drive 5 hours, turnpike speeds. Since I have two broken vertebra and a broken ankle where the soft tissue never healed I resigned myself to not showing.My husband owns a restaurant. One morning there were several customers making a lot of noise outside. Wanting to quiet the disturbance, I edged over to the group to see what was happening.Several people had a young Cocker by the collar and were arguing over who was going to take the Stray home. Noticing that there was a tag on the collar, I scooped up the pup, thanked my customers for the care they hadgiven the pup-------o that he hd notgotten run over and went in to phone the vet to find his parents. Of course they were not at home, they were looking ,for my charge. For several hours I fed, watered and played with this pup waiting for his mother to listen to the message I had left- and come get her very sweet kid. as I played with him, I decided that I was going to get a puppy. One of my own that I could show and that would not eat me out of house and home like another Dobe would do. I bought a dog book and started reading descriptions and looking at pictures of the various breeds. I settled on a Pom. My Pug friend The Pom Reader July 1993us.Quickly I closed the door of the crate and scarfed it into my car. Down the road to a parking lot where once again I opened the crate so that she could come into my lap. My husband - bless him - did not like the Dobe. He would walk him, and feed him and pet him...but he would not like him. He took Ilk our new baby and held her up in front of A him to look her over. A pink tongue shot outof her mouth like that of an Iguana and she planted one ^ right on his nose. He laughed, hugged her and planted one on her nose. It was okay - he loved her, too.That night she spent on our bed, between our pillows. Although her registered name is Mischief Maker, she is our bed bug...so her call name is Bug.

The other two girls slept quietly. If I think back on it, right then I had a sense of foreboding. "Don't be silly", I told myself. "You've never lost a puppy to dewclaws being taken off" But a sense of trouble loomed in the back of my mind.Once home, I returned the precious puppies to Ashley's devoted care. Of course, she looked at me accusingly, and had to give them a vigorous cleaning. I relaxed after all, everything appeared to be normal now.My relief was short-lived because soon "Baby Puppy", as I had dubbed her, was wailing again. This continued for the rest of the day, with intermitent stops of silence for an exhausted nap. I kept a watchful eye and observed that "BabyPuppy" would nurse frantically for a moment, then quickly shove herself away and resume crying again.By evening, I had begun the hated task of tube-feeding. Long ago I had learned to never let a poorly-nursing puppy go for even eight hours without a solid meal.She might have been getting some nourishment from Ashley during those brief, frenzied moments of nursing, but I knew it could not be enough. I used Ashley's own milk for the first feeding. Then every three hours through the night I used Esbilac. "Baby Puppy" submitted quietly to the tube-feedings, and seemed a bit more content.The next day, nothing seemed better. I continued my every-three-hour feeding schedule, but "Baby Puppy" continued to cry in distress. "What was wrong" I called my vet. It was suggested that a bacterial overgrowth might be present, or perhaps a lack of "good bacteria" was not present in the intestines. Okay. I started giving Amoxicillian two times a day, and used a baby teaspoon to get a bit of live culture yogurt in her. The Amoxicilin was for the possibility of bacterial overgrowth, and the live culture yogurt was to replace "good bacteria in her intestines.DEWCLAWS and BONE INFECTIONIt was April 11, Easter Day. My bitch, Ashley thanks Gloria, for letting me have her delivered three beautiful and healthy female puppies. Ashley was bred to my beautiful male, and I was very excited about the potential show quality of this litter. That I should get three lovely girls, and a first-time mother who acted like an old super pro bitch, had me in seventh heavenIt's my practice to always have the dewclaws removed between the third and the fifth day after birth. My vet assures me that this is the optimal time to have it done.Because these pups were just slightly smaller than usual, I waited until the fifth day. They were fat, healthy, and nursing well. With a mother hen's pride, I carried my small, content darlings down to the vet to get rid of those nasty little dew- claws. I had watched to make sure that everyone was well fed and quiet before gathering them up for the trip. Just a routine procedure, one I've done many timesThe Pom Reader. July 1993I saw no improvement at all. By late that night, I was very tired and getting desparate.At one a.m., I began inspecting her body for the tiniest sign of something not right. As I looked closely at her front legs where the dewclaws had been removed, I thought I detected just the slightest hint of puffiness over the joints. And was that a slightly warmer-than-usual temperature I detected in those joints Crazy woman that I was by then, I got out my small clippers and shaved the hair off both legs from knee to toe. Aha What was this Just above her left toe I discovered a small, pus-filled pimple. No bigger than a pin head, but this was not normal, and I had finally found concrete evidence of something I left the pimple undisturbed so I could show my vet in the morning.At eight a.m. I was on my vet's doorstep with "Baby Puppy" securely wrapped in her towel and heating pad.My regular vet was not there yet, but his associate examined the puppy and announced "...bone infection from declaw removal." By then my regular vet had arrived and confirmed the diagnosis.They both explained that the mother's milk usually provides protection from bacteria entering the bone and causing infection. For whatever reason, "Baby Puppy" had not received the benefit of this protection. The only thing that mattered now was, "What do I do to save my puppy"The pustule was lanced, allowing the poison to start flowing out. I was instructed to keep this "drain hole" open and cleaned with Peroxide three times a day.accompany all bone infections.Only slight puffiness and warmth need be present to signify trouble.Otherwise, the whole thing very much resembles the baffling "Fading Puppy Syndrome".I began a strict regimen of anti-biotics and disinfected the drain hole and kept it open. Twenty four hours later I was stumped again. "Baby Puppy" had gone into a semi-coma state. She was limp and lifeless, dead to the world. She breathed, never cried, and was like a wash-rag zombie. Faithfully, I tubefed her every three hours around the clock. I scrubbed her little leg and kept the drain hole open and disinfected. But this was like caring for a dead puppy. She hung limp and lifeless in my hand with no recognition of the world. Back to my vetIcarried "'Baby Puppy" home, satisfied that there was a real reason for her to be fading. At least I knew what I was fighting now. Tired as I was, I renewed my vigor and redoubled my efforts...myself. I felt joy, relief, and success all in one moment "Baby Puppy" was seventeen days old, and we had made itEach day from then was an easy pleasure. Ashley welcomed back her long lost puppy and took over all maternal duties. "Baby Puppy" resumed nursing from Mom like it had always been this way.Every eight hours or so, I offered "Baby Puppy" a bottle. She smiled and cuddled into my hand to suck the offering with pleasure. It's great to have two moms"Baby Puppy" is now eight weeks old. She has one front leg with a big "knot" at the joint where the foot takes an almost horizontal turn to the side. The infection did penetrate that bone. The other leg is normal and straight. Surgery is forecasted for the future to repair the little leg to a more normal state.I have to admit, I'm a bit nervous about having dewclaws removed now. But I will still continue to have this procedure done despite my fear. It is a rare evil that seldom happens, I'm told. Just once was more than enough for me This lovely puppy will never be able to be shownI don't know how to end this article, except to say that "Baby Puppy" is a tribute to the spirit, the will to survive, and what we both accomplished together with a monumental strength of sheer will. We both survivedagain.Diagnosis - the antibiotics were depressing the puppy in a horrible way. But the regimen must be continued to fight the bone infection. I had nothing to lose. It was live or die. I can't describethe following nine days in detail. I fed her every three hours, day and night, with Esbilac, then CliniCare by Pet AFG. I supplemented with Glucose 50 and water in between those feedings.God bless my family. They merely fled in terror at the sight of me. I had become a monster and no one dared ask"Clindamycin Hydrochloride"Antirobe Aquadrops was prescribed twice daily to fight the bone infection. Aspiration of the fluid on the joint was deemed to be a last resort. Such an action would most likely cause severe bone deformity in the legs. At this point, we were hoping that the joint had still not been traumatized. I carried "Baby Puppy" home, satisfied that there was a real reason for this puppy to be fading. At least I knew what I was fighting now. Tired as I was, I renewed my vigor and redoubled my efforts.At this point I want to add that visual examination was almost impossible. Only the little pustule gave me hard evidence of bone infection. This "pimple does notme for anything. I had become a raving, sleep-deprived, don't-speak-to-me lunatic. I heard whispers of "Mom is saving another puppy. Better hide". I have such a wise familyDay ten of the treatment finally arrived. "Baby Puppy" was taken off all the drugs. Ten hours later I was pleased to have to fight with her about a tube feeding. In fact, she fought me so strongly, I offered her a Foster Smith feeding bottle of formula. With gusto, she guzzled it down and smacked her lips, looking at me with slightly hazy but cheerful eyes.Cheri LessacherHappy Breedings To You, CheriThank you for submitting this article.

It was lifted from Quincy Illinois KC Tattle Tail who lifted it from the March-April issue of the Western Rottweiler owners' NEWS, via Colonial Rottweiler Newsletter. In the April Reader my column dealt partially with AKC rules on disqualifying dogs and with the question as to why dogs can be disqualified from showing yet still retain their breeding papers. The stolen article below fits right in.-JfJust how far are we going to allow the AKC to push us towards the brink of reasonWell, when you hear this, you may well agree that we are up against the wall.On Thursday, Nov. 12,1992, the American Kennel Club's Chief Counsel Sam Perry stated under oath at an AKC trial during cross-examination that under the amendment to chapter 14, section 8, of Rules Appying to Registration and Dog Shows, that his interpretation of said rules rendered bitches who had undergone a caesarean section shall not be eligible to compete at dog showsMr. Perry reiterated this opinion several more times.

They want to act as much as possible on behalf of the wishes of the grass roots of the fancy.

Wise words by John Harsen Rhoades "Do more than exist - LIVE Do more than touch - FEEL Do more than look - SEE Do more than hear - LISTEN Do more than talk - SAY SOMETHING"Hopefully, to Dr. Hritzo, whose committee is, according to the article above, encouraging our point. In our breed, caesareans are common. Wouldn't it be hideous to have this common problem a preventive to showing a bitch Now, I look at it this way. A bitch who must be sectioned with each litter, well-perhaps that should be discouraged for the good of the breed. But we all have had the rare bitch who gets one crosswise or who, on first whelping, goes into inertia, endagerAllof these routine occurrences are now illegal. Where does common sense and protection of the gene pool start and where does it end Should it end at the treatment of an injury or illness obvious to all but the most obtuse of us and the AKCThe AKC will register dogs with known, even visible, genetic defects of the most crippling nature Blind, distorted limbs, epileptic, cataracts, PRA, thyroid disease, cardiac anomalies, and elbow and hip dysplasia.If a dog gets back an OFA evaluation stating that the hips will not pass, he can still compete in the show ring.

He reached confidently into its interior and brought forth a ball of red and white fur, which I hastily seized. Her tiny chocolate eyes peered anxiously at me with an awareness far beyond her twelve weeks, as she hesitantly placed an - oh, so small - paw on my shoulder. Her neck was clothed in a snowy Sheltie-like collar, while her sturdy legs created the lovely illusion of being shealthed in white silken stockings. A perfect gray-soon-to- be-red saddle girded her pleasingly cobby frame, and, altogether,she was a delight to behold.

Grimison West Point, MSDear CP..Dear SirI received the additional copy of THE POM READER last week. Thank you very much. I had requested the extra copy because "Rusty" and "RJ's" picture was in the May Issue and I am so proud of them.Even though I am not a breeder I do enjoy your magazine so much. Your articles are very informative.I have many letters to write concerning the two items you had featured in OLYMPIA,Both my Poms take "for human use" drugs to survive and I think it is, for lack of a better word, just plain STUPID to enforce such an outdated rule as to not let veterinarians use these drugs to treat animals. After all, veterinarians are trained and very talented in trying to keep animals alive and healthy. My veterinarian is probably one of the most intelligent people I ever met and if it wasn't for his knowledge and caring, my two guys would have died years ago.Second half of articleI chose Poms for a reason to keep and love as my pets, their qualities were bred into them to make them such adorable companions. When the time comes, I'll need to get another Pom to love and cherrish like I do Rusty and RJ.

The list adopted for Poms at that time was fairly limited. It included several terms that had never appeared in the breed standard, such as Silver. Some were simply synonyms for Orange, such asGolden, Fawn, or Blond. These extraneous terms crowded out some of the legitimate terms, such as Cream-Sable. Breeders who had formerly experienced no difficulty registering a Parti-color were suddenly required to describe their Parti-colored Poms as White with Black Patches.Individuals attempting on their own to get the problems resolved reported negative responses from AKC personnel. They were sometimes required to submit color photos of the dog for someone at AKC to make a determination as to the acceptability of the color designated on the blue slip by the breeder. One reported response from an AKC person was that all existing lists had been furnished by the respective parent clubs. This spurred me, as President of the American Pomeranian Club, to contact AKCs Director of Registrations, to leam the facts and try for a solution. The Director,LettersfromourReadersa 5water, place thisbetween puppy and heat source. The water-filled container molds somewhat to the pup keeping more body surface warm. The heat source socks maintain the temp of water in the bag. Keep a thermometer with the pup so you can regulate the heat as necessary.First Aid for bums TOOTHPASTE. This is non greasy, stops pain almost instantly, will rinse off completely with cool water.I learned this working the Emergency Room.

One by one, Noel romanced the family members until it became obvious that this was the breed for them. Dolores studied the Standard and with careful deliberation chose her foundation stock. Dolores wisely availed herself of Edna's considerable expertise, and the results were immediate the first litter bom at Watts' Pomeranians produced two pups - both of whom attained their championships handily.Dolores and Dave Watts and family embraced the Pomeranian breed with great enthusiasm it was a relationship which would bode well for all concerned.Dolores and Dave themselves have worked tirelessly for the American Pomeranian Club Dolores served many years as a Director and eventually was elected to the Club Presidency, a position she would hold for consecutive terms.ne of the greatest things about the sport of purebred dogs is that it can be a family affair Mom, Dad, the kids and the grandparents can all derive great pleasure from the sport. It took a family member, however, to upset the Watts' applecart, forever changing their direction in the sport.Successful breeders of Saint Bernards, the Watts' had learned their early lessons in genetics and the art of showing dogs before becoming involved with the Pomeranian breed. When daughter Laura expressed the desire for a smaller, more cuddly pet, Dolores did her homework and decided that a Pomeranian was the answer. She contacted a long-time breeder, and the wheels were set in motion for a lifelong love affair with the breed and a friendship which would prove to stand the ultimate test.It was Christmas Eve, 1972, when the Watts family picked up their first Pom,lA-IDave stepped in upon her retirement from office as a Vice President for the Club, also holding office for two years.vBfi"So the famWipRight,Doloresand Ch.

Although kennel help is employed, there is no doubt that this is a definitely hands-on operation. The kennel is so impressive by normal standards that a county inspector, during a routine check,declared, "Mrs. Watts, these dogs do not have a kennel, they have a home. This has got to be the finest facility in the County, if not in the State."One would hardly expect the breeding program to be have been planned with any less attention to detail.

Again, family ability and expertise came into play Dave, a custom-home builder adopted the design of the kennel as his personal challenge. It is a facility that has been impressing people ever since its construction.For ease of operation it was decided to place the kennel facility close to the house - so close, in fact, that is actually a wing of the residence. The elaborate officei m i, L1 tv ----------. ' --------- ^ ..leads to the 24x14 whelping room there is space for 10 whelping pens.

It is a tribute to great planning and execution.The nine 6x8-foot pens have "doggie doors" leading onto separately-fenced, 55-foot-long exterior runs. The kennel room is heated and air-conditioned, and weekly steam-cleaning keeps everything shipshape. An additional homey touch issSis due, namely to her husband Dave. Dolores' freedom to travel to shows and Pom functions is directly due to Dave's knowledge and capability of taking over when she is gone...including the whelping of puppies. It is his willingness to be anThe Pom Reader July 1993line worked well to date her breeding program has produced upwards of 55 Champions, and Dolores has been in the top ten exhibitors ranking in the United36Sweepstakes classes at the American Pomeranian Club National Specialty in February, 1994.Dolores is also involved with Breed Rescue in her area of Prince George's County, Maryland, and has been doing this work for many years with different organizations who have called upon her at one time or another, aware that they can count on her dedication to thethe greatest. Several of these special homes have more than one of my older guys and they are all very much loved."The years also bring memories, good and bad. One of her worst experiences involved a bitch, Ch. Scotia Commander's Rockette, who had a C- section and who died three days later. Watching this bitch go down, Dolores says, was a terrible experience. A small bright spot was that she was able to save the pups, both of whom attained their championships and carry on the legacy of their dam.One of her more humorous experiences is truly hilarious. Dolores says"One one of my trips to New England,I had a member of my family my stepmother to be exact with me. I was showing two bitches who each needed a few points to finish to their titles. On this particular day, after very heavy rains the night before, we proceeded to the show ring to exhibit the dogs. I gave her the bitch to take in which had virtually no competition in that class allowing for the fact that she was an individual with no dog experience. Well, the judge told her to go over and take First Place. As he, the judge, had his back turned to pick up her ribbon, she proceeded over to first place, bent down and was taking the First Placek'-VsKAiif-sstgslp . ' - active partner in the dogs that has allowed Dolores to travel extensively, and for this she is grateful. Dolores says," Traveling is definitely a heavy chore when showing dogs but I have always found it to be rewarding, for there are so many places and people I have come into contact with that would not have been possible had I stayed at home all these 22 years."Dolores and Dave's immediate family at present includes her son daughter-in- law, Steve and Dottie, daughter Laura known to most of their Pom friends as "Tish", and four grandchildren, David Paul 16, Connie Marie 13, Alan 4, and Samantha Jean 2. This family support system has also made it possible for Dolores to be active in other Pom Clubs. She is a charter member of the Pomeranian Club of Greater Baltimore - the PCGB hosted the Americanbreed and to dogs in general.As the years carry on the laws of longevity come into play - most forcefully in the sport of purebred dogs. Lucky are the breeders who can carry on the genes of those beloved Poms who have gone before. Many of Dolores' "oldtimers" are gone now and most recently she lost her top Stud Dog, Ch. Watts' Little Chipper of Great Elms. Chipper produced about 14 Champions. Dolores tries very hard to ensure that the dogs live out their lives in comfort, often placing older males andW......s ,4mPomeranian Club Specialty in 1990, did a fabulous job, and will be hosting the specialty again in 1995.

Dolores says, "Being in a kennel life is one world but living out their days in that special environment issign out of the ground When the judge turned around, here was this woman with dog in one arm, and the First Place marker in the other arm.

With the quickness that you sometimes need, the judge was able to contain himself, get the sign back and give her the blue ribbon. She went back in for Winners Dog and won the Purple Ribbon with no further incident. The people ringside were hysterical with laughter and needless to say, I heard about this blooper for weeks. It was all in good innocent fun and as the judge commented towas one. After seeing his picture, Dolores start in Poms and was so caring and help- knew she had to have a Pom with his style ful to other people, Edna Girardot. Edna and exceptional looks. Another male she came to live with us to live out her life admires is Ch. Cedarwood's Image of Diamond. Dolores bred one of her females to Diamond, never quite expecting the depth of quality to be produced one of the offspring is Ch. Watts' Little Dakotah, owned by the Baldwins in Pennsylvania - he is still going strong and still producing beautiful offspring.Dolores' favorite female is Ch. Scotia Boston Dee Dee Alexis. She feels that Dee Dee represents the epitome of the breed standard, right down to Thank you, Dolores. the size of breeding.and, as the Pom world knows, was with us for 8 wonderful years. I have a card which Edna made for me herself and I feel it expresses how she felt about us. To this day, she is sorely missed by us."In summing it all up, Dolores quotes a another family member. "As each year goes by, there are new places and new faces appearing all the time, but as my Dad once said to me, 'If you can count on one hand, the number of true friends you have, you are blessed.'"I am blessed."The Watt's mentor and deariG .Hr- iwJ r . 7J friend, t Edna T Girardot l.in I 1989,"Z with Marlene mZM PresserJMcGBut uppermost in her mind are441isS-T' ,0 .5 two friends she made and kept through the years, ladies who are legendary in the breed. Dolores speaks fondly of her close association with Ruth Beam of the Great Elms Poms.T. v .l\iShe states "Ruth possesses a world of knowledge about Poms and has done so much toward making the breed what it is today."But the biggest expression of gratitude is reserved for a special person. Dolores says, "I will always have a special place in my heart for the lady who gave me myme, the next time I saw him, "that had to be the funniest situation I have seen in dog shows - ever" The judge was Morris Howard, recently deceased.Dolores also recalls several Pomeranians that had special impact on her life Ch.
