President James Monroe appointed John Quincy Adams as secretary of state in 1817. Monroe relied heavily on his advice. Monroe supported Adams when he forced Spain to cede Florida and make a settlement of the Louisiana boundary in the Transcontinental Treaty, drafted in 1819.
Apple Headed Chihuahuas live the longest of any size dog. Expect a life-span of 11-18 years, although the latter is rare.
WOW! Be happy your dog has lived for that long. Usually Pomeranians and other toy dogs, like Chihuahuas, can live between 10 to 15 years, from what I have read in dog books.
