Shortly after my childhood dog passed away at 19 years of age, I wanted to get another pup to share my life with. I turned to craigslist, posting a request saying I was looking for a dog to adopt.

With the first 24 hours I had tons of emails, but one caught my eye. A woman emailed me saying she was trying to get rid of a dog. 

We met the next day, and she brought a little dog in a cage, and explained that she had originally bought him from a breeder because she wanted a purse dog. Not being full Pomeranian, he quickly got too big for that, which meant she didn't want him, and mentioned he spent most of his time in that cage. I took him and left.

I lived with a room mate at the time who had a cat. My new puppy would run around trying to copy his feline friend, trying to walk on top of the couch and making weird noises to trying and meow, which was hilarious. I named him Felix for his coloring, and his identity crisis.
