Another Member of the Menagerie.

So tonight marks the first day of Ansel's residence with us.  A new home, a new name.  A big day for a little dog. 

His history as we know it is this:  a while ago a nice gal found a cute, fuzzy little Pomeranian wandering in Los Angeles.  She took him in, got him neutered and microchipped, and found what seemed like a nice new family.  A little while later, she got a phonecall from someone who had identified him via his microchip.  She went to pick him up, and found a horrific sight - he was infested with literally thousands of fleas, had an infected eye and ear, and had lost most of his hair as a result of the flea infestation and stress.  Because he'd lost all his hair, he was also badly badly sunburnt.  She took him home, nursed him back to health and put out an ad online for a new new home.  That's how we came to know him.  Now I will be continuing his rehab regimen and we have a fun new family member.
