Welcome Home, Ace! 🐾❤️ A Heartfelt Thank You to Megan and Bootheel Doxie and Poms They say that sometimes the best things in life find their way to us when we least expect them. For our family, that unexpected blessing came in the form of an adorable, eight-pound Pomeranian named Ace. Our journey began when we decided to welcome a Pomeranian into our family. Like many people searching for a new furry family member, we wanted to find someone who genuinely loved and cared for their dogs, someone who understood that bringing a puppy home isn't simply a transaction. It's a lifelong commitment, built on love, trust, patience, and connection. Our first experience with another breeder was disappointing. Communication was limited to brief, one-line responses, and it became increasingly frustrating trying to get even basic questions answered. Eventually, we decided not to continue. And then we found Megan at Bootheel Doxie and Poms. From our very first interaction, Megan was everything we had hoped to find. She was warm, responsive, patient, transparent, and genuinely invested in helping us make the right decision. Every question we asked was met with thoughtful answers, and never once did we feel rushed, dismissed, or like we were inconveniencing her. That level of communication meant more to us than she probably realizes. We initially reached out about Ace after learning that he had been returned. Something about his story immediately tugged at our heartstrings. We couldn't help but wonder about this little guy and whether we might be the family he was meant to find. When we finally met Megan, her children, and Ace, everything felt right. The meeting was easy to arrange, communication was clear, and we appreciated the opportunity to meet the family who had been caring for him. What stood out most was seeing Ace interact so comfortably with Megan's children. He was friendly, confident, and clearly accustomed to being around people. Almost immediately, he approached me with such warmth and curiosity that I couldn't help but fall in love. As a social worker and therapist, I often pay attention to the little things: how someone responds to others, how comfortable they appear in their environment, and the connections they form. Watching Ace interact with Megan, her children, and us spoke volumes about the love, patience, and care he had received. You cannot manufacture that kind of love and trust. It comes from being raised in an environment where animals are genuinely cherished. And now, Ace is home. ❤️ We already had three wonderful dogs: Cooper, Gizmo, and Kona, including our two Schipperkes and our Australian Cattle Dog. Naturally, we wondered how an eight-pound Pomeranian would adjust to an established pack. Well, apparently, nobody told Ace that he was the smallest dog in the family! 😂 He wasted absolutely no time showing us his personality, finding his place, and making sure everyone knew he had arrived. Despite being surrounded by dogs weighing approximately 13 to 23 pounds, Ace carries himself with the confidence of a dog three times his size! He has adjusted beautifully to our family, and it has been such a joy watching him build relationships with his new siblings. And somewhere along the way, Ace decided that I was his person. ❤️ He follows me, seeks me out, and has already developed such a special bond with me. As a therapist, I can even see the possibility of Ace becoming part of my therapeutic work someday, bringing comfort, connection, and smiles to others. Of course, that will depend on his temperament and training as he grows, but there is something incredibly special about his loving personality. We genuinely cannot imagine why anyone would have returned him. But we also recognize that sometimes circumstances change, and perhaps what didn't work for one family was simply an opportunity for another family to experience something extraordinary. Ace is affectionate, intelligent, playful, confident, and full of personality. He has his own little quirks, learns quickly, and seems to approach each day with pure happiness. He makes us laugh, fills our home with even more love, and reminds us that sometimes the smallest members of a family leave the biggest impressions on our hearts. Megan, we want you to know something: Your love for these animals doesn't end when they leave your home. It continues through the families who welcome them, the memories they create, and the unconditional love they give us every single day. We see that love in Ace. We see it in his confidence, his friendliness, his ability to adapt, and the way he trusts the people around him. Those qualities don't happen by accident. They reflect the foundation you and your children helped provide. And please, don't be a stranger! We truly mean that. With one of our Schipperkes, we have remained in contact with the breeder over the years, and that relationship has become something we deeply appreciate. There is a saying that it takes a village to raise a child. We believe that same philosophy extends to the animals we bring into our lives. They depend on us for love, guidance, patience, understanding, and lifelong care. And the people who helped bring them into this world will always be part of their story. We would love for you and your family to remain part of Ace's story, too. Whether it's sharing pictures, celebrating milestones, exchanging updates, or simply checking in, please know that you will always be welcome to reach out. You helped give Ace his beginning, and we are honored to give him his forever home. To anyone considering welcoming a puppy or dog into their family, we wholeheartedly recommend starting your journey with Megan at Bootheel Doxie and Poms. You're not simply finding a breeder. You're finding someone who cares about the animals she raises and the families who will love them. Our experience with Megan has been nothing short of wonderful, and Ace is living proof of the love and care that went into raising him. Megan, thank you for your kindness, your communication, your patience, and most importantly, for loving Ace before we ever had the opportunity to. Thank you to your children, too, for being part of his early life and helping him become the happy, confident, loving little dog he is today. We promise that Ace will be loved, protected, spoiled (probably a little too much! 😂), and cherished for the rest of his life. Ace may have been returned once, but he will never have to wonder where he belongs again. He is home. He is family. And he is loved beyond measure. ❤️🐾 With heartfelt gratitude and so much love, Levin & Gary Along with Cooper, Gizmo, Kona, and our newest family member, Ace! 🐶❤️
