Yes. The Eskie, Vesta, weighs around 23 lbs. The Pomeranian, Bandit, is lucky if he weighs 13lbs. For the week or so that she was in heat, we watched Bandit *trying* to get her, which was quite the site. He was on his tippy toes most of the time, his front paws holding on to her sides for dear life. He was in dire need of a step stool. We once actually witnessed him getting a running start and jumping up on her. He was thrusting away without his feet even on the ground! I wish I had got that on film (gotta love his persistence
).
We never did actually
see Bandit "get" her. When we go out, we lock the dogs in a crate, but during her heat, we only put those two in the crate and left our other male Eskie (who's fixed, btw) out of the crate. It was one of those times that Bandit got Vesta pregnant. I feel confident assuming he used the sides of the cage as steps to get high enough...

Thanks! And thanks to everyone else who complimented on the puppies, the parents and/or my photography.
Oh, and an interesting side note...
During the week that Vesta was in heat and Bandit was trying to procreate, Leighlani Red was here to shoot content for her site. That was an interesting ice-breaker for our first shoot with her, to say the least... Especially when she would sit on the floor and Bandit would jump on her back and attempt to hump her. He's got good taste, what can I say?
