Last week, I saw a woman jogging along the extra wide gravel sidewalk. She was tiny- just barely 4’9″ and her petite Tweety Bird silhouette was conveniently accentuated with the yellow tank top and light grey shorts she sported. Her bantam legs, while powerful and enduring for a run, made her torso bounce up and down like a rebounding paddleball, rather than propelling her body forward. The most noticeable thing was not just her gait or her coloring, but her Pomeranian-like, yippy dog, frou- frou-esque aura. She jogged like a little lap dog with short, stubby legs trying to catch up with her “regular-legged” owner. The puffy canine-like way about this lady got me thinking about one of my all-time favorite movies- 101 Dalmations, the Disney cartoon version.

So, Jogging Lady is distinctly a Pomeranian, and so I thought…

What kind of dog am I?

What kind of dog breed would you be?

If you were walking down the street, and we were in the movie, 101 Dalmations, which breed would reflect your particular personality and physique?

Nose in the air like they just don’t care.
I don’t have a dog (yet!) but when I do get a lil shmushy, which breed will it be, and will we reflect one another?

If you have a dog (or a cat for that matter) do you two resemble each other?
