I LOVE NATALIE!!

How fabulous is it to be a Pomeranian?

I'll tell you.

Very fabulous.

So fabulous that you get stopped all the time on the street by strangers because you are so cute. Most of these strangers are girls. They stop and melt when they see me. They coo, they squeal, they bend down to get on my level. In response, I jump on them and go crazy licking their hands, faces, basically anything I can get my tongue on!

They love it. I love it.

It's good to be a Pomeranian, especially one with luxurious blond hair, a little foxy nose and a wildly curling tail. It doesn't hurt that I bounce down the street on my teeny little feet and I have a pleasant bark. Not too yippy like some dogs I know but who shall remain nameless.

Yeah...I'm a babe magnet. Senior Master once joked about borrowing me and going to a bar to increase his chances with the women. That is a surefire road to success! Do it, Senior Master!!! (I especially like The Stone Rose, the bar at the new Time Warner Center. The waitresses are SMOKIN' there.)

Well, of all the girls out there who have fallen in love with me as we pass on the street, none can compare with a very special girl who is a family member. Her name is Natalie. She has long dark hair and ENORMOUS dark eyes. She is adorable!!! And we have a special little love-thing going on.

Me and Mrs. Natalie. We've got a thing....going on!

Here's what is so great about this. She used to be afraid of all dogs and to that I say, good thinking, Natalie! Some dogs ARE scary!!! Be afraid. Be very afraid.

And she used to be afraid of me, despite my extreme cuteness. This, of course, hurt my feelings a bit even as I understood that it wasn't me, per se, she was afraid of. It was Dogness. The concept of canines. Not cute little me.

Meanwhile, I cannot explain why, but one day Natz decided that I'm okay and the next thing ya know, we're madly in love!!! And she even started asking Main Mistress and Junior Master to bring me over for special playdates!!! Yippppeeeeeee!!!

So, now I've got a little thang going on with Natalie. She even has a special doggie dish for me and some doggie treats like the astronauts eat. One of fave things to do is to go to her house and hang out with her and her brothers and sisters. There are about five million of them in that house, I think.

So here's a shout-out to mah gurl Natalie: I LOVE YOU!!! You rock my world!!!

Barks and licks,

Alfie the Pomeranian
