I’m quite impressed with Alfie’s athletic abilities.
Last weekend was so warm outside, we decided to go for a run in our summer gear. A six kilometre run. We brought Alfie with us. I think it’s safe to say he (yes, the dog) is in much better shape than I am! I had his leash wrapped around my hand a couple of times in case he decided he wanted to run in front of me and trip me up, so it worked out pretty well. The three of us went on a slow run, but a run none the less. I couldn’t believe at how well he held up, especially since he has little pinner legs. And you know what? He was rearin’ to keep going long after we got home. He wasn’t pooped out one bit. That’s what I call impressive. I was so proud of him!
We like to take Alfie on a two hour walk together on the weekends, so while we were doing that last weekend, the Guy wanted to pop into a store to check out some sales on games. Alfie dislikes it when The Guy and I separate for any length of time, and especially if he is missing out on anything, so I couldn’t help but laugh at him being in panic mode waiting for the guy to come out of the stores. Naturally, I documented it.
Enjoy pom friday, especially the one where he’s mid-bark. Ha!

Nancy! How did you choose Alfie and the Pom breed? My hubby and I are considering getting a small dog. Would love your insight … :)

@Ashley @ A Lady Goes West: We started with a few online breed selectors, and then just read about each of the top suggestions until we found what we thought would be the best.
Clearly it worked because Alfred Schnogg is the greatest puppers ever.

So cute and so alert. Glad to hear he isn’t one of those small dogs that wants to be carried everywhere. ;-)

I don’t want to do anything but scroll up and down looking at the little fluffy beauty on screen. Poms are one of my absolute favorite breeds. Glad you 2 were able to get in some exercise outdoors. :)

What a cute Pom! My grandma has a little Pom Chi that is a fluffy ball of fur. She’s unique looking with her curly brindle hair.

Alfie is adorable. It is always impressive when the animals are not tired, but you are feeling the beat. I wish I could run 6km? How many miles is that?

Alfie is so cute! I have a boxer and a chug. She’s part pug part chihuahua and she’s my little baby. The boxer is 9 and the chug is 2. She is such a funny little thing with a very unique personality. I know she loves her older sister, but I think she has more fun with Ziggy, her brother the cat.
Your pup is so cute. I love looking at dogs from a distance but don’t desire to own one. Congrats your dog though.

I had a pom when I was about nine years old. Her name was Penney and I loved her to death. Thanks for bringing back all the great memories!

What a cute dog. He looks quite happy to be outside on a jaunt with you. By the way, what is Pom Friday? :-)
@eliz frank: Alfie (my dog shown here) is a Pomeranian dog, and I feature him each Friday on my blog, hence the shortened title: POM Friday :)

6km run is something I can also do monthly. :) I’m beginning to build up endurance and strength in the gym for upcoming runs this year. It’s okay if we start slow. The important thing is that we finish what we started.
I have a HUGE dog. I LOVE your pics. Little pups are adorable!

Haha! How cute! We have a great dane and a husky-retriver mix. I forget what cute balls of fluff the smaller dogs can be! :)
