Looking for a dog with movie-star good looks, a heart of gold, and just the right amount of pirate flair? Meet Argyle, the 3 year old, 8-pound fluff tornado who is here to steal your heart (and maybe your socks). With his glorious Pomeranian coat that makes him look twice his actual size, and his irresistibly charming one-eyed wink, Argyle is living proof that a missing eye just means twice the personality per square inch. When he first arrived, Argyle was a little cautious—but let’s be honest, he was really just supervising. He perched in his dog bed like a tiny, fluffy overseer, carefully observing his new domain, taking mental notes on everyone’s routines, and deciding who would earn the honor of being his cuddle buddy. After a few days of careful assessment, he gave his stamp of approval and fully embraced the household—initiating playtime, joining in the family discussions (with enthusiastic barks), and making sure no squirrel went unannounced. Now, he’s a full-fledged Velcro dog—always nearby, always watching (or, winking at) his people, and always ready to offer snuggles at a moment’s notice. He loves his foster siblings, follows them around like their tiny fluffy apprentice, and has mastered the fine art of synchronized barking at delivery trucks. His eye may be missing, but his aim is perfect when launching himself onto the couch for a cuddle session. A Day in the Life of Argyle (or: The Fluffiest Daily Agenda Ever) 7:00 AM – Wake-Up Call: Argyle stretches his tiny legs, gives his best one-eyed squint, and heads out for his morning potty break, making sure to announce to the neighborhood birds that he is awake and he is in charge. 7:30 AM – Nap #1: Because waking up is exhausting. 9:00 AM – The Grand Morning Walk: Argyle lives for his walks. He does a happy dance when the leash comes out, prances like a tiny show pony, and refuses to let anything—not even squirrels—disrupt his perfect strut. 10:00 AM – Breakfast Time (With Gourmet Toppings!): Regular kibble? No thanks. Argyle expects flair—a little broth, a bit of cheese, or even a sprinkle of love (love = chicken). 12:00 PM – Sunbathing & Squirrel Surveillance: If it’s warm, Argyle lounges outside, keeping an eye (literally, one eye) on the backyard wildlife. He doesn’t chase squirrels himself—he lets his foster siblings handle that—but he supervises like the regal fluffball he is. 2:00 PM – Playtime Extravaganza: Fetch? Yes. Squeaky toys? Yes. Tossing toys in the air and catching them like a tiny circus dog? Absolutely. 4:00 PM – Quality Time with His Human: Argyle is the perfect work-from-home buddy—he’ll sit next to you while you type, offering emotional support and the occasional judgmental glance if you take too long between snack breaks. 6:00 PM – Evening Walk & Neighborhood Gossip: More happy dances, more fancy prancing, and another round of greeting everyone he meets like the tiny celebrity he is. 7:00 PM – Dinner (with Extra Enthusiasm): He eats with gusto, then gives you the “I’m still starving” look. He is not starving. He just enjoys dramatic flair. 9:00 PM – Pre-Bed Zoomies & Final Cuddles: One last burst of energy before snuggling up in his crate, ready to dream about his future forever home. Why Argyle is the Best Fluff Nugget You’ll Ever Meet Sure, he’s only got one eye, but he doesn’t even know it’s missing. It just makes his head tilts extra adorable, his pirate jokes extra funny, and his personality extra unforgettable. He’s 95% potty trained, fantastic on a leash, and medium energy—he loves activity but also knows when to chill. He’s a cuddle connoisseur, a tiny comedian, and an all-around perfect companion. He’d do well in a home with another confident dog to show him the ropes—or as a solo superstar soaking up all the love. Because honestly? Whoever adopts Argyle is winning the dog lottery. So, if you’re looking for eight pounds of personality, fluff, and charm (plus a bonus winky face), Argyle is ready to be your tiny, fluffy soulmate!Argyle is an option for any home, whether experienced or novice. If there are children they need to be over 8 years old.February 9, 2025, 3:24 pm
