Story
If you remember Flower from Disney’s Bambi, you’ll remember the adorable little skunk who was so sweet and shy that you couldn’t help but fall in love with him.
Well, meet our version! She’s not actually a skunk, although her beautiful coloring might make you do a double take. She’s a five-year-old, 7½-pound Pomchi (Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix), and while she’s every bit as sweet as her namesake, she’s definitely not as shy!
Flower came to us from the same situation as Miss Bunny and the boys, and naturally, once we had a Flower, we needed a Miss Bunny! The girls are not bonded and do not need to be adopted together.
Now, Flower has a very important talent she’d like everyone to know about. She dances.
Some people call it sitting pretty, but Flower would probably prefer that you recognize it as a carefully choreographed performance designed to win your heart. She’ll pop up on her little hind legs and perform for your attention, preferably followed by a standing ovation.
Flower LOVES people, and she’s not shy about showing it. She’s also unbelievably soft, and once you start petting her, you’ll understand why she thinks she deserves an audience.
She’s a happy little girl with a lovely balance of energy. She enjoys being outdoors, exploring, and occasionally letting loose with a case of the zoomies. But she’s not a wild child who needs constant entertainment.
She’s also been a remarkably easy little guest! She does well in the car, is fine on a leash, and should be comfortable in a crate. She hasn’t been barky at all since arriving, although we certainly can’t promise she’ll never have an opinion worth sharing.
She gets along with other small dogs, and we think she’d do well with respectful children. We haven’t tested her with cats yet.
We genuinely can’t think of a single bad thing to say about this girl. She’s friendly, playful, easygoing, and just an all-around wonderful little dog.
Flower is ready to dance her way into someone’s heart. And unlike her skunk namesake, the only thing she’ll leave behind is a very happy human.
