Coming this weekend...

Tama! She's a very young pomsky (Pomeranian/Husky) puppy and the last of her litter waiting to find her forever home. I applied and got accepted! I meet her foster mom this weekend to take her home after passing a background check, house check, vet check, and reference check. Her foster mom was a stickler about the quality of the home she went to, Tama secretly being her favorite of the entire litter.

I was really surprised to find Tama was the last of her litter to be adopted out. So was her foster mom, who explained to me that Tama is a very rare and very special mix of genetics. Her coat is lavender, which is common in some cat breeds, but only present in Pomeranians and Pom mixes when you're talking about dogs, and her eyes are deep green, which is essentially a product of pure luck and chance, since green is also the rarest eye color for dogs. "Tama" seemed like a fitting name for her, being Japanese for "jewel". She may be a puppy, but there's something very special about her to me.

I'm so thrilled to be able to take her home with me. I grew up with Pomeranians, and love Huskies, but couldn't adopt a regular one due to their high energy lifestyles and size; Tama is the perfect meeting in the middle of being small enough for me to keep up with, while also being big enough that I won't have to worry about her outside with the large eagles and owls we have out here that prey on small breeds. She's sweet, intelligent, quiet, and inquisitive, and is the first pet I've felt a special bond with since I lost my furbaby, Sean, a couple of years ago before he could turn 11. I'm hoping to bring her up with the manners and socialization to qualify her as an ESA if her temperament fits the role. It's been very hard for me to leave the house without a little companion with me, and I'm hoping Tama and I will soon be going on adventures and making new friends together :)
