My Main Man About 6 years ago the most wonderful event of my life almost passed me by. Surfing the internet on a rainy afternoon, I stopped frozen in my tracks totally in love. There in living color on my computer screen was the most precious blonde Pomeranian 11-week-old puppy I had ever seen. Priced reasonably but highly unattainable on my retiree income, I pined for what I couldn't afford and in the next 24 hours I couldn't stay away from that site. The next evening our snail mail unveiled an insurance refund check for his price with some left over! While the gods smiled down on me, I scrambled to my phone and within another 24 hours I was holding him lovingly in my arms admiring his tiny funny smile in his wee 18 ounce body. Our love affair had truly begun. He attended a pet therapy meeting with me that very evening and his career had also begun.
Although I have six retired, six current and two soon-to-be new graduate therapy dogs, Bartholomew Biscuit was, is and always will be my main man, my connected-at-the-hip faithful companion, my love. We visit various venues sometimes as often as four times a week. He is famously popular wherever we go, hearing "Biscuit!" when we enter the lobby of a facility much as "Norm" was shouted out on "Cheers". His breeder had six home-schooled children whom he adored, so Memorial Hermann Children's Hospital is on our weekly schedule. He grins from ear to ear the entire trip down there. He hops merrily into the kiddos' beds and immediately begins diving under their blankets to tickle their toes, feeding happily on their giggles and squeals. Such a little ham, always so full of himself. Can you tell I love him dearly?? All 3.3 pounds of him? Don't know how. He's number 12 in his sequential ranking of our 21 dogs and obviously #1 in my heart! Candy Bywaters
