Pomeranian

One day this very small, very cute teacup Pomeranian came in. He was about 2 lbs, white and the sweetest pup I had ever met. He was very excited about being alive and because of his excitement, he was under foot a lot. Well, being so small and under foot, he accidentally got stepped on. His poor paw was broken. Off to surgery he went. The bone was so tiny that the doctor ended up having to use a 25 gauge needle to pin the bone together. (It's a very small needle..) So, after surgery the paw was bandaged in a cast like wrap and held until he woke up. He was too cute to put down. All was well! He went home to heal later that day. He came back several times to have the wrap changed, check on the progress of the healing and just making sure everything was ok. Also, we were so in love with this little cherub that we wanted to see him and snuggle him. Every time this brave, sweet pup would come in, he would wag his tail, give kisses and was just so excited to see everyone. When all the happy parts were taken care of, he knew the hurting parts would commence. He would then hide his head into his owners chest and stick out the affected paw. Right about now, we would all melt. He would keep his head buried as we unwrapped the paw and examined the wound. Poor thing! He was so brave! After we poked at it for a bit, he would lift his head and we would say "All done!" The happiness would then begin a new! Kisses for everyone and lots of wiggling and tail wagging. I think many of us swore we were going to kidnap that beautiful pup.
