The life of a micro-influencer BURLY BEAR THE POM ERAN IAN Facebook : @Bu r lyBear Pom Websit e: bu r lybear pom .com In st agr am : @bu r lybear pom Tw it t er : @Bu r lyBear Pom

Howdy y'all, My name is Burly Bear, I?m a 9-month-old orange sable Pomeranian. I live in London, United Kingdom, and I'd like to share the trials and tribulations of my fabulous life. I was born in a small town called Scotby at the top of England. My breeder was a kind, lovely woman called Mrs Broughton. My two dads picked me up to take me to my forever home in April 2019. My dads really spoil me. I have a vast wardrobe which I?ll run through later. I?m very lucky to be able to get to work with one of my dads. He is a hairdresser who works in the fashion industry globally, so every day is different. That?s how I have appeared in various fashion magazines. I?m a very friendly fellow, with a soft fluffy coat that seems to attract a huge amount of attention ? I?ve met a lot of very famous actors, TV presenters and models due to the work dad No. 1 does. He is pretty successful and good at his job, therefore he works with a huge amount of A-list movies stars, and I?m always getting lots of hugs and cuddles from all. So far in my life I have been photographed with many recognised stars which include Daniel Radcliffe, Nicholas Hoult, Kristen Stewart and Lily Collins (she is one of my favourites plus she follows me on Instagram). I've also met Emilia Clarke (she loves cuddles too and gave me a gift a beautiful bright yellow rain Mack which I love), I?ve met Lily Collins and Emilia Clarke many times, and my dad Ken is always being asked to bring me along. My other dad is Michael. He is originally from Manchester and he has a very different job to Ken. He is a Tower Crane Operator and sometimes he has to climb 140 metres to get to his cab to operate it. Unfortunately, I?m not allowed to go to work with Michael, as it is far too dangerous for me. I have an Instagram account with nearly 8,000 followers (@burlybearpom) which is quite remarkable as I?ve only been posting for 6 months. I think I?m now described as micro-influencer, which is funny because I am a micro-dog. I love all the interaction with my followers keeping them up to date with my antics and daily life with my dads and 34 | TEXASDOGMAGAZINE.COM
