This little Pomeranian puppy  altered my view of the “little yappy dog.”  He never barked while I photographed his human owner.  He is pretty stinking cute and such a natural in front of the camera.  These images were taken within a short span of minutes while we were waiting for his human to grab a Christmas ornament.  I learned from “Mom” that Pomeranians originated from Germany and worked as sheep herders.  Originally Mom thought to give the new puppy a German name but the little girl, who is this adorable puppy’s new owner, dubbed him “Arthur.”
