Jauques'Mo

J'Mo is 1 years old and he is the most amazing best friend my family and I have had. He has so many different personalities and he is so smart.
Recently we got a new food for him, its the same brand just smaller pieces of food and as he is eating he pulls out the older food because they were mixed together from leftovers and he puts them in a pile next to his bowl. When hes done eating the new food he eats the older food almost as if he is saving the best for last.
He understands the names of his toys, like if you tell him to get his ball thats what he gets and he does that for his bone, bear,and kitty (if you say "toy" then he picks what he wants - usually he picks his ball). He also knows what to do when you say "Go eat your breakfast." or "Eat your dinner."
One of my favorite things to do with J'Mo is give him baths and groom him afterwards because he's got long and fluffy hair it can get knotted but anyways he loves getting baths and after I groom him he runs around the house and shows off how cute and clean he is.
The wonderful thing about J'Mo is that his maneurisms and "who" he is as a deeply loved yorkie-pom are endless and surprising.
In the mornings he is hyper and full of energy and wants to play fetch, by noon he is a little sweetheart who wants to cuddle and get as close as he can to you, and by night he is both of those.
If anybody is feeling sad or upset he senses it and he'll get close to your face and look at you and then kiss you. (he also knows what "give me kisses" means). If he needs anything he will tell you by barking at you and then looking at what he wants or whats even cuter is you can ask him what he wants and he will bark at that one specific thing he wants.

J'Mo is also extremely bold; we also have a Belgian Malimua named Indi and if you were wondering they are similar to German Shepards. So, Indi is much bigger than J'Mo but he is always trying to jump on her and get fiesty with her. We keep them separated most of the time because J'Mo is full of energy when around her and she is more calm but when she's not around he will go down in the basement, grab one of her chew bones and bring it upstairs to where he plays, then he will go back down and get another and bring it upstairs. After awhile he's got a hidden pile of bones that he sneaks from our bigger dog.
Before J'Mo I had no interest in little dogs. I have always been a big dog kind of girl but J'Mo stole mine and many others hearts. If you have any Yorkie-Poms then I hope that you have had the chance to experience this wonderful friend as I have and if you do not or you are looking for a companion I highly recommend a Yorkie-Pom; when I was at my lowest point he lifted me up and brought light into my life. He is my sunshine.
