I have a title!!!

Woohoo! I am now known as What's the Problem, June?, CGC
Today, Ma and Da and I met Auntie Linda, the Grayhart girls and our friend, Steve at the Old Westbury Gardens where the Big Apple Sporting Society held an AKC Match Show and had CGC evaluations...You knoe Ma's been trying to get a title on me for years, but we tried CAT and I just wanted to stalk the bag and then we tried Rally-O but I "tracked" and whipped Ma around the ring for a NQ :-(
Now, we all know I have two "legs" for my Most Eager Eater/Chow Hound title from Happy Tails Animal Rescue's Annual Strut Your Mutt, but that's not official AKC title...So recently Auntie Linda suggested that Ma give this CGC thing a shot (even though I LOVE to pull!) So we practiced with a martingale and I kinda' got the hang of it...My martingale is not so pretty and I don't have a NICE 6' braided lead to match it (Da calls these Weim-world problems, BOL!) so my pal, Jam lent me one of hers today! I think that sealed the deal ;-) because we kept practicing and sure enough, the very nice lady who did the evaluation quickly announced that the test was over and "Congratulations, CGC June!" Da was taking pictures and all of a sudden we looked up and saw (and heard) Steve and Auntie Linda cheering for me! FOR ME!!!! :-) I got lots and lots of treats and then I retired to the car while the Grayhart girls did their thing! Congrats to Jam and Little Miss Ember for their group placements and wins today!
What's next? Maybe a second shot at Rally? stay tuned..... ciao for now, ~hdj, cgc

Haze-o-matic!

Shout-out to my big little bro... he and Ma (and Da) went to a real agility lesson this week and he did REAL GOOD! Auntie Linda met them there (I did not go 'cause I'm all like "yeah, right... YOU jump over that!") and took pictures. Da also took some videos so Ma could review them and keep practicing. Foundations for agility are important as are strong obedience skills, so Ma's going to keep practicing front crosses, rear awareness (Ma needs to be aware of her rear too BOL) and 2on-2offs in the yard and go to another private class soon and then... Auntie Linda's going to help train them. VALOR, here they come... Hey, Mazeo, I'm proud of you... all that hupping in the back yard seems like it makes you happy, so keep at it!

In other Weimie news, I heard Ma and Da talking about Chicken or the Egg opening back up this week, so you know that could only mean one thing for us... ROADTRIP!!! Woohoo. We are headed down the shore for some beach activity and chicken wings. I'll be sure they take lotsa' pix and Ma lets me on the 'puter to post on my blog next week. ciao, ~hdj

of all the nerve...

Ma is always bogartin' the computer and this girl NEVER can get a word in edgewise~ We have been sitting by soooo patient-like while she posts Weims in need of new homes and plays, er I mean networks on Facebook. I help too, you know... and tonight it's MY TURN TO POST! Last month I travelled to Cherry Hill, NJ to represent with Ma, Da, my rescue Aunties: Patty, Deb and Lynda and the Li'l Foster Mamas and Big Mama Missy and I got to meet Max and Benny! They are adoptable Weimies with TSWR. http://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?shelterid=NJ457 And then, 2 more times I was an ambassadog at a TriState Weim Rescue Meet & Greet up in the Ramsey, NJ Petco with my buddy Savi and little Chase (he's not bad to hang with... ya ' know... for a puppy!) and even Trixie came by for a bit one time. The second M&G Miss Heidi met her Weim-Dad and went to her furever home! YAY Tomorrow is Haze's birthday. He will be 6! We can't believe how fast time flies!! We will celebrate in the typical Kwiatek family style with a special dinner and a treat (maybe icecream!!) and a prezzie! Don't tell him, but I asked Da to pick out a nice new nooker for him. You see, even though we fight sometimes, I love him!! Okay... I think Ma needs to check out some more Weims online, so I'll be a good girl for once and let her back on. ciao for now, ~June

Happy Holidays!

from all of us....

I've said it before but it bears repeating...

My favorite Christmas Carol: On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... 12 well-done wieners, Eleven links of bratwurst Ten franks a-steaming Nine footlong hot dogs Eight to a package Seven grilled-up tubesteaks Six push-cart specials Five dirty water dogs... Four Hebrew National's Three Oscar Meyers Two Nathan's franks, and a hot dog in a toasty warm bun. ciao. Junie

Hot Dogs for LIFE!

Hiya Pals! I hope all my blog friends are okay...We are doing fine since the hurricane and nor'easter. We had a little hiccup but bounced back. I'd like to thank Auntie Linda and the Grayhart girls for welcoming me, Ma, Da, Haze & Grammy and keeping us safe and dry during the evacuation of our town during the stupid hurricane. We always feel "at home" there and despite the conditions outside, inside was comforting! We didnt get to play with the little rockstars, but we heard them!!! They are awesome little pups. We hope you get power back and all the "stuff" can get all fixed up soon.

Now...the main reason for this post is to show off my latest and greatest collar Da bought for me a few weeks ago!! We ALL KNOW how much I love the hot dogs and even Ma and Da's co workers must know too, because a lady that worked with Da showed him a new line of dog stuff one day and said, this one looks like it is right up June's alley! BOL Boy, is she right. It might be hard to see unless you blowup the picture, but it has the food of the gods on it :-) Rosettes, medals and pearls aside, THIS, my friends, is the best. neckwear. ever.

Oh, and if any of you are wondering... YES. I DO NEED a new braided leather lead to coordinate! Ma said something about ordering one for this and 2 others for me and Haze from Kim M. -- With so many gorgeous color combos available, a doggy can never have too many leashes and collars!

Due to the hurricane, our governor postponed trick or treating so these photos were taken right after Halloween. As you can see we BOTH are little devils, but Haze didnt really want to play dress-up. hehehe

Hopefully, Ma wont get too busy again over the next weeks or so so that I can borrow her 'puter again for some more photos and adventure updates. Until next time, be well.

ciao. June

NOBODY Rains on Our Parade!!

Today was the Garden State Weim Club's Annual Fall Specialty! The forecast was for rain, but the (dog) show must go on... Me and Ma got there early (well not exactly as early as we told our friend, Bree to get there...oops!) and the rescue booth was set up. Also stopping by to visit and watch us were Roger and Tomoyo. creators of Dog in Charge!! Soon, it was time for the club to start the festivities. Now, for any of you who've never been to a dog show, first we have the Sweepstakes and pick best puppy and best veteran (male and female) and then we have the Specialty which is different classes of dogs and bitches competing for Winner's Dog and Winner's Bitch to earn Championship points and advancement to Best of Breed competition... the show started and all us rescue Weims gathered to watch and wait for our turn. Our turn? Rescues? In the ring? Do tell!! The club also holds a Rescue Parade at the show right before the awesome buffet lunch where we get a chance to shine. Of course, the skies opened up about 15 in before we started, but we outshined the clouds! Each of us got to prance around the showring, while a member of the club read a little bio about us. Ma over heard a few people saying how choked up they got hearing some of our stories. As we exited the ring, we got MEDALS!!!! And a stuffie toy/prize. Auntie Linda took our group photo under the tent so we wouldnt get any wetter than we already were BOL. In order we are: Remi, Vegas, Gunther, Nena, Gracie, Yours truly, Casey and Arrow To round out the day our friend (Trixie's daughter, bred by Auntie Linda) Mia went Winner's Bitch/ Best of Winners and our friend Parker (Jam's Daddy) was Judge's GCH Select. Ma also won THREE prizes in the club's raffle :-) Congratulations!! We are all Weima-WINNERS today :-)

ciao, ~June
