Remembering “Fluffy”

As I already mentioned on FaceBook (thanks to all who commented), we were all so sad losing the little micro-dog that I had called “Fluffy”. Despite all efforts – Sun took it several times to the vet for treatment but the little fellow passed away the night of 10 December. As we now all learned, those Pomeranians (see earlier blog entry, “Beijing: dogs in the kitchen”) are very very difficult to raise. According to the vet, Fluffy was barely 2 months, the sales people said he was 3 months old. They are extremely fragile, it’s like treating a premature born baby in a hospital. He was soooo cute, also very social and friendly, always craving to be around us. What happened to him is not that clear, some say it was “dog SARS”.
It is said to be of the “British” type, looking a bit like a fox.


Sadly, it’s the second one to pass away: the first one made it to Europe, to pass away in the vet clinic some days later.
