Humphrey Pippin Earlicker

Our unwitting and often enough unwilling Pomeranian mascot, named after the central figure in Finnegans Wake, Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker. He used to sit quietly and listen to us read the Wake aloud all afternoon when he was a tiny puppy, but now that he's older, he generally runs around bugging people when they're trying to concentrate.
