Our Pom is only 3 and half months old and dearly loves to get dirty and wet; We have a Siberian Husky that seems to be his best friend, they play together all the time. I think it is the husky that has taught the Pom. The problem is we have to give the Pom a bath almost daily. This cannot be good for him, he showers with my wife everynight. He is loved by everyone in the family, definately a little clown. Always in to something, has to be right in the middle of everything the family is doing.
