@hingehead,
One of the cutest puppies I ever saw was a pom. Out in the street. Almost thudded right then and there. Held myself together and went up to the dog owners to tell them how cute their puppy was. Spent some time admiring the cuteness. Do they go nuts, hinge? I haven't had much contact with poms. Most of the dogs I've known personally have been on the large side.
I had a cousin with two great danes, two malamutes, one boxer, three german shepherds and a corgi. I loved visiting him. He also had four horses. Sometimes (rarely) I mingled with my human relatives (usually around meal time).
