Why The Pomeranian Is A Fluff To Be Reckoned With
The Pomeranian
is a small fluff ball
that looks like a
miniature lion.
His double coat
that can be colored orange,
red, brown,
cream, white,
blue or black,
and his small erect ears,
are his most distinctive features. Although his coat
is beautiful, it
does shed plenty
of fur
and will require daily grooming
to keep it free from mats
and knots.
Pomeranians first became
popular in England in
the late 19th century
thanks to Queen Victoria
who took a great liking
to the breed.
However, Poms were actually developed from sled dogs in the once Prussian
region of Pomerania, where the breed received
their name.
The Pomeranian is full of
energy and is incredibly clever.
He loves to
learn and work
which makes him an
easy dog to train. In fact, his
supreme intelligence has also made the
Pom a frequent
show dog champion. One of his greatest
joys is barking, which has made him an ideal
watchdog. Unfortunately, Poms like to yap
on a regular basis, which can become annoying. For
this reason, many owners take great
care to teach
their dogs when it is acceptable to bark.
Poms
are very proud
and courageous. Even though
they love to be with their
owners, they are very independent. Their
independent, bold and often willful
nature is why the Pomeranian requires obedience training. He must know
that his owner is in
charge or the Pom
will take charge and attempt to boss his
family around. Like many of the Toy breeds, Pomeranians
seem oblivious to their size.
Pomeranians can be a very temperamental breed and
only accept
other family pets if they have been raised with them
as a puppy. Poms will
not tolerate teasing and are much
happier with older
children than they are with
younger kids. Furthermore, younger children may handle the Pomeranian
roughly and unintentionally
hurt the dog.
Keep in mind, the Pomeranian is a Toy dog
so it is very small weighing only 3
7 pounds and at its highest
stands only at 11 inches. Thus, it is
more fragile than
larger dog breeds, and it
wont hesitate to
defend itself if it feels threatened.
Due to the fact that Poms are so small, they make ideal apartment dogs and are perfect city
companions. They are exceptionally
active indoors and only require
short walks. This also makes them an excellent companion for seniors.
On average, a Pomeranian is a healthy dog and will
live anywhere from 12 16 years. They are not
prone to any major health defects, but the common issues that seem to affect this breed include early tooth loss,
eye infections and skin and heart problems.
A Pomeranian is a fantastic and devoted companion. He travels well and likes to keep busy.
His love is unconditional and he will return it
ten fold to anyone who shares their love with him.

You Might be Throwing Money Away!
Did you know
that some laser printer
cartridges are worth over $20.00 each? Many people are throwing money
down the drain. I'll tell you
how you can
make money
or even start
a part or full time business. The cartridge remanufacturing
business is growing by leaps
and bounds. There are now Franchises setting up businesses across the
US By the
thousands. Empty ink
and toner cartridges are
in high demand
and the demand
is growing rapidly even some of the
small ink cartridge empties are selling for $6.00. Some
empty toner cartridges are worth over $20.00. There are companies
that specialize
in buying empty toner
cartridges. You can easily find
them by doing a search on Goggle or any Search Engine. Just
type in Cartridge recyclers
and several
will show up. Some of the companies
will even
give you a business plan and tell you the best
methods for
collecting the empties. Typically
they will buy in
small or large quantities.
Sign up
is free and they will have a price
list that you can
print out. This
is one business that you can start with virtually
no money.
Not all cartridges are
suitable for recycling. Type one
has the print head
built into the cartridge this
is the one
to collect as they are the expensive ones
suitable for
recycling .You can tell these by the brass
colored electronics on the back of the cartridge and the brass colored print head Type two is just a plastic container with a sponge in it. Ink is
injected into the sponge these are very inexpensive
to produce and several companies make
compatible cartridges that is very
inexpensive. Hewlett Packard and Lexmark are the main one that you will need
to find. Lexmark makes many
printers for other companies like Compaq and Xerox for example.
So these are the good ones also The ones to ignore are Epsons,
Brothers, most Canons and some Xerox cartridges. I have found one
company that takes Epson's.
So
far we have been talking mostly about ink cartridges. There's probably more money to be made in recycling the toner cartridges. These are the cartridges used in laser printers and many businesses use as
well as some home printers almost all of these are
recyclable. You can get a list
from the company you sign up with. You can companioned with a recycling company to stockpile and recycle empty printer
inkjet cartridges, and empty toner cartridges from laser printers and copiers. For
every empty cartridge that is sent, you will
receive you payment and usually All shipping supplies and fees are pre-paid by the recycling company so there is no
cost to you.
Nearly a million "empties" are thrown away in the United States every day, so they shouldn't be hard to find. Don't hesitate to be creative!
Here are a few examples of how some people have
gotten involved. A member in Ohio ordered a tabletop baggie aerosol dispenser and printed several of them
She made a small display in the waiting
room of her dentist's office promoting
awareness and support . A family in New Jersey
has been gathering empty toner cartridges and inkjets from the
local school district. There are several buildings in the district and they all use printers and copiers. They collect the empties every week or so from the
schools and
send them in. To date, they have gathered and shipped
ended 1,000 empties! Several people have
taken collection boxes to
their work place. Generally, people are very supportive of the recycling effort and are excited to
participate. Why recycle cartridges? Recycling
unceasingly large amounts of plastics outof
landfills. Every
year over 300 million cartridges are thrown away. This means for year-end cartridge, about
2.5 pounds of plastic is thrown into a landfill. It will never go away!
Recycling
saves natural resources. To imagine a single new laser cartridge, over
3 quarts of oil are used.
In contrast, a recycled cartridge only requires 1
quart of oil to be able to be reused. Recycling saves two quarts of oil per
cartridge. This year alone, toner cartridge remanufacturing will save over eleven million (11,000,000) gallons of oil.
