♫ Fergie Jane is one of my favorite things ♫
Meet the fabulous Fergie
Jane! She is a "ShorkiePoo." Meaning she is a mixture of yorkie,
shi-tzu, and mini poodle. Her furry mother, Princess is a YorkiePoo and her
furry father, Oreo is a Shorkie. This makes her half yorkie, a quarter shi-tzu
and a quarter mini poodle. There were 5 pups in her litter. Fergie Jane,
occasionally called FJ for short, was the first pup born. She is also the runt.
When I brought her home at six weeks old, she weighed 1.4 pounds. My parents are the proud humans to FJ's only sister and one of her brothers. Their names are Luke and Leia and are commonly referred to as "The Twins." They are about twice Fergie's current size (9 pounds). 
Fergie Jane and I picked each other when she was 2 weeks old. You can tell how small she was. She is stretched out completely. Once I held her I didn't want to let her go! We are stuck to each other like Krazy Glue. Almost every day after work I would stop by and spend time with her. Now, I take her everywhere I can. She has a booster/car seat for the car...safety first. My husband and I have do not have any "skin kids" (a term I am borrowing from a good friend Suzanne Kenoyer); so FJ is our "furry kid" (again I am borrowing the term from Suzanne). She has her own closet full of play clothes, dressy dresses, swimwear, winter sweaters and hoodies, pajamas, and seasonal attire. Most of her fashion is pink, which happens to be her favorite color. What Dutchess doesn't have plenty of accessories for her fashion? Not this one! Hair clips and bows and an assortment of collars for any occasion. This "Dutchess" is rarely "naked"!
This fabulous pooch loves to swim! ♫ One of Fergie Jane's favorite things ♫ This is important because our family loves the water and with two boats and a Bestie
with a pool, it would be difficult if she didn’t enjoy the water so much. Occasionally FJ's love of swimming is a problem. On a recent fishing trip she jumped off of the boat and into the lake after a fish! Thank goodness I am all about safety first and she was wearing her pink life vest. The water was still a bit chilly so getting her out of it, wasn't as difficult as it can be.
I could go on and on about the fabulous Fergie Jane. I will save the rest for a later post. She truly is this woman's best friend!

Fergie Jane is a one-of-a-kind! Glad you have her to love you unconditionally (and to play dress-up with!)
ReplyDeleteI want to squeeze her she is so tiny and cute! I think we need more fur baby fashion updates. A lady had a new tiny puppy at the vet yesterday (I was there picking up a prescription for the Sherms) and she looked very similar to FJs picture. Maybe it was a ShorkiePoo Too! That rhymes.
