Meet SuMmurr (aka Just SumMur): My Sassy Little Sunshine

In January 2024, my heart grew even fuller when I welcomed another baby dog into my life—SuMmurr, or as I lovingly call her, Just SumMur. Unlike her older brother Weewee, who has his little bear-like charm, SuMmurr is a fox-type Pomeranian with her own unique personality and quirks. She’s this bundle of energy and sass that brightens my days, and life with her has been nothing short of an adventure.

SuMmurr is my sweet little ray of sunshine, always ready to bring her vibrant energy into the room. She’s super active and always seems to be on the move, but what sets her apart is how much she loves to be home. While Weewee is all about traveling and watching the world go by from the car window, SuMmurr is the complete opposite—she’s the ultimate homebody. When we’re on the road, she prefers to curl up and sleep, completely unbothered by the outside world, and when she’s not napping, she’s playfully disturbing poor Weewee. It’s hilarious to watch her poke him awake as if saying, “Why are you still looking out the window when you could be playing with me?”

Despite her energetic nature, SuMmurr is also the sweetest potato when it comes to affection. Every morning, without fail, the first thing she does when she wakes up is come to find me. She’ll trot out of the room, eyes still sleepy, just to say her little “good morning” in the form of cuddles. Those moments are so precious. It’s as if she’s making sure I know that no matter how much she plays and runs around, I’m still her favorite person. She’ll nuzzle up to me with that little grin of hers, and suddenly, everything feels right in the world.

But let me tell you, this little lady is no pushover—SuMmurr is as sassy as they come. She has quite the personality for a small pup! For one, she doesn’t tolerate anything dirty. If there’s even a hint of mess around, she’ll avoid it with the most dramatic little hop, her nose in the air, as if to say, “Nope, not for me!” She’s also obsessed with skincare—whenever I’m putting on lotion or spritzing perfume, she’s right there, waiting for her turn. Yes, you read that right—SuMmurr loves her beauty routine! She has her favorite perfume scents, and I swear, she struts around afterward as if she knows she smells fabulous.

And then there’s her pickiness with food. SuMmurr isn’t the type to eat just anything; she’s a bit of a food snob, honestly. Her absolute favorite? Chicken—or as we like to call it in our house, “CHIMKEN.” The moment she smells chicken cooking, she’s instantly on alert, tail wagging, eyes big with excitement. But if it’s not chicken? Forget it—she’ll give you that look of, “Seriously? You expect me to eat this?” It’s part of her charm, though. She’s got me wrapped around her little paw, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

SuMmurr has already become such an important part of my life in such a short time. Whether it’s her hyperactive zoomies around the house, her morning cuddles, or her hilarious sassiness when something’s not to her liking, she brings so much joy into every day. Sure, she can be a bit annoying sometimes when her energy levels skyrocket and she’s bouncing off the walls, but hey, she’s still a baby. Watching her grow, learn, and settle into her own little personality has been one of the most rewarding experiences.

Even though she’s got a bit of a diva streak, I love every bit of her, from her quirky food preferences to her morning cuddles and her insistence on staying squeaky clean. SuMmurr may be a handful at times, but she’s my sweet handful, and I’m so grateful to have her in my life. Here's to more cuddles, CHIMKEN meals, and lots of love with my little sassy sunshine!
