At Odds

Why did we ever get a Weimaraner??? There a days where I find myself asking this question..why, oh why? These are usually the days that Heidi and I are at odds with one another. Today is definitely one of those days!

We have been awake since 6:15 am, that is when Little Man decided it was time for everyone to get out of bed. My first battle with Heidi began promptly at 6:17am. I saw this grey flash out of the corner of my eye. Instantly, I knew that Heidi was up to no good.

Heidi does not like pillows for some reason. First, she steals the pillow off of the bed and tries to sneak it into the other room without me seeing her. Then, she proceeds to chew on the corner until she is able to pull the fluff out of the pillow. All of my pillow cases have at least one corner chewed off. I am always embarrassed when we have guests spend the night and each of their pillow cases is missing a corner. This morning, the grey flash I saw out of the corner of my eye was Heidi trying to sneak off with a pillow to tear it to shreds.

Oh but her antics didn't stop there. It's not unusual for Heidi to go in and out, in and out, in and out ALLLLL DAY LONG!! Some days, I tolerate it better than others. However, because our day had already started of on the wrong paw, her constant knocking at the knob (she hits her nose against the door knob to tell us she needs to go out) and jumping on the door was driving me BATTY.

Usually, she wants to go out to chase the squirrels off of her fence. Today, it was not the squirrels she was so worried about. Little did I know, she was trying to tunnel her way out of this piece. It wasn't until she came in with four dirt caked paws, tracking dirt all over the carpet did I understand what she was really up to.

The Guilty Party

There must have been something on the other side of the fence to cause this digging. Sure enough, our neighbors threw a black poop bag over their fence and Heidi really thought it was a threat to our safety. She just HAD to get to that bag and show it who was boss around these parts. I also think she has some spare energy to burn off, she is a Weim with an abundance of energy. So, a trip to the lake just might be on the agenda tomorrow.

I love my dog but some days she really has to test how far my love for her goes. What do your dogs do that just drives you nuts?

Welcome!

Let's give this a go!
Hopefully, you are here because you have a Weimaraner, like dogs, or you like me. It is possible that you stumbled upon us by mistake and if that's the case, I hope not to scare you off.

Let me tell you about Heidi, my wiggle butt Weim. She is a 70 lb. three year old puppy with an endless amount of energy. When she wags her tail, which is docked like many Weimaraner's are, her entire rear end wiggles back and forth at high speeds. This dog has more personality than many human beings I have had the displeasure of meeting. She is persistent, smart, slobbery, smelly, loving, and incredibly patient...sometimes. More on that later.

Heidi can run, run, run, swim, swim swim, and then run some more, and then swim some more, and then...okay, sorry you get the picture. Her legs look like a female body-builder on all fours. Hmm, maybe that's not quite the picture I was trying to instill in your mind. Anyway, the dog's legs are HUGE!

"Just keep swimming..."

I am so excited to introduce you to Heidi and all of the things we love, hate, and hate to love about her. The past three years have been Weim-tastically wild ride...hold on to your harnesses!

Thanks for stopping by!
