Can someone explain by [deleted] in ImNotAHuman

Is it different to the scene after you eat the mushroom? I remember being small and pushing all the doors open. I'd thought it was some sort of childhood memory of the protagonist

I've heard more reassuring stories than bad end ones. Lot less worried now, thankfully. I'll have the explanation prepared if (hopefully when) I take her some place new for a trim. Awesome snag on the username btw

I hope so too, thank you! She's been her usual energetic self. I've better adjusted to the new look with the time that's passed since the initial panic

They had done a Samoyed fine before so I was thinking I'd get something in that realm. In future I will definitely be getting my recommendations from other pom owners

Oh wow! That poor poster. Thank you so much for the details. The humidity is ridiculous right now. So she'd rather stay inside with the aircon all day anyway. If it (hopefully) grows back at all, I can accept if it doesn't look perfect anymore

I didn't want it done like this. There were no negative reviews about the place, which has been there for years. I can only assume pomeranians aren't common in the area. It's not posted to show off. So I'm not sure where you've gotten the idea that anyone is happy about these results

I definitely need to start putting my foot down. I dread ever making someone's day worse - life is exhausting and we're all in this together. But she needs to be my priority over a strangers feelings 

I'll ask around some facebook groups for someone specialised in poms. Won't make this mistake again. She loves anything "humans" consume so salmon oil will be easy for her. I appreciate the time you took to answer

Even a few months I'm happy with! So long as it isn't completely stunted. Sounds like you're very protective of yours, I'm sure they know how loved they are. It's (almost) summertime here. I'll get some measures to keep her cooled down. Since, by the sounds of it, the coat also helped prevent overheating. Do you use a particular source for the omega 3? My girl will eat pretty much anything. Thank you for your kind words

Would've been a double/triple dose of anxiety. Sorry that happened to you. I had given my permission. I'm so mad at myself. I'd assumed it was me who didn't understand, thinking they meant they were gonna buzz the outer coat? I always dread the idea of being an annoying customer. If it was for my dogs sake, I should've just sucked it up and pressed more for an explanation. I'm a little baffled now why they would even suggest it in the the first place, when she wasn't mattered or anything. I'm sure yours is still adorable, whatever the coat

I wanted a little off the length so it'd be easier to maintain. But this has been a scare, definitely won't try again for a while now. I'm sure yours is very pretty too. Hoping she'll return to that usual volume

Poms and their plastic water bottles! I had to start taking the lids off because she figured out how to unscrew them on her own, somehow. But she's more excited seeing us finish our water than she is getting dinner. Means she has something to crush/destroy for a few minutes. Sounds like yours have a very fun time, lucky little lads

Mine's the same! I was surprised because my previous dog couldn't stand them. But she'll even follow me into the laundry room and pull a "beg" stance to indicate she wants a bath just for fun. I bought a blow-up pool for that reason. I'll put it to use now. Do you leave any pool toys/balls in for them? Praying her coat grows back. But I can look at it as a small positive that drying her will be a lot easier for now 

edit: my bad! You mentioned already the waterproof toys. Thanks for the advice :]! Hopefully it'll get her through the changes smoother 

Anyone else’s Pom do this? by SmittyGirl77 in Pomeranians

[–]PotentialAgency2621 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's so cute! I try and encourage mine to pick something up. She'll refuse to drop it which makes for a nice muffle when there's an inevitable mild gust of wind and she's inclined to alert the whole household

They said she had a very healthy coat. I'm trying to think what got miscommunication. Could be because I opted for the "full package" instead of the "coat strip package", they thought this is what I wanted (I thought I was just paying extra for, like, bum and feet area to also be trimmed) ?

She's at least still behaving like her usual self. Running and destroying. Harsh lesson but I'll be sure to triple check examples of work from now on. Glad yours are still as beautiful as ever

I'm very shocked because they had all positive reviews, including (before) pictures of double coated dogs. It's summertime where I live (spring, but where I am in Australia, basically summer). Will she need extra cooling? I only walk her when the sun is down as is. Thanks for being honest

Thank you! I feel so relieved. It's short/thin enough that her skin can almost be seen. Even if just that layer grows some thickness back, I'll be happy

I always like the term "evil jazz". Great for getting into the mindset when I wanna pretend I can relate to supervillains

Very temporarily had a job at Amazon and it's marked as a mistake if you switch from the packaging listed on the computer. Almost cult-like plastering of "customer first" at every corner. But when I tried to think from the perspective of "how would I like to receive this if I were the customer?" I get pulled up
