Pomerania is an area of Europe that encompasses parts of Northern Poland and Germany, along the coastline of the Baltic Sea. Pomerania's main city is Gdansk (Danzig in German). It's in Gdansk that Lech Walesa started his peaceful revolution in the 1970ies - revolution which prompted the demise of communism all over Eastern Europe.
Pomerania is most famous for its Pomeranians. That is a breed of dogs, belonging to the German Spitz. Pomeranians usually live 11 to 17 years. They are a royal breed, favoured by monarchy, movie stars and celebrities. Maintenance of a Pomeranian may be quite extensive, due to their grooming and psychological needs. Dog psychologists state that Pomeranians are prone to separation anxiety disorder, a condition which may require ongoing psychotherapy.
