A small black Pomeranian with a muddy coat sits on a white rug covered in muddy paw prints. 8 / 27

A Tiny Pomeranian Walked Across the Brand New White Rug

AI imagepomeranianmudwhite rug

The white rug was brand new this morning. Now a small black Pomeranian named Pepper sits right in the center of it, her fluffy coat dark and damp, with a trail of muddy paw prints running across the rug in every direction. She looks straight ahead with round, serious eyes, and a pair of slippers and a laundry basket wait quietly in the hallway behind her. It looks like she has made a thorough survey of the backyard.

Pomeranians are tiny but bold dogs with big personalities, and they love to explore. Their thick double coats look beautiful but pick up a lot of dirt, and mud can cling deep into the fluff. After muddy outings, a towel at the door and a quick wipe of the paws will help keep the house clean. Brushing regularly keeps the coat from matting, and bathing only when needed protects the skin.

Before you bathe a muddy dog, let the mud dry and brush out as much as you can, since this makes shampooing easier. Use water that feels comfortably warm and always dry the dog well, especially a fluffy breed.

Pepper is not worried about cleaning day. She sits proudly in the middle of her muddy masterpiece, tiny chin up, as if the paw prints were meant to be a decoration. Honestly, she did put a lot of effort into it.
