Rescue Calendar

Hiya!
Even though I'm not gracing any of the pages of this rescue calendar... it is spectacular! Ma designed the pages using the winners of TSWR's Annual Photo Contest... William Wegman is the judge so you know they're good shots! ;-)
All the money raised goes directly to the Weims of TriState Weim Rescue.
Calendars make great year-end gifts for friends and relatives no matter what holiday you choose to celebrate...

Be the Change...

Hiya friends!
Today is a Be the Change Day... My change I am bringing is to help support my friends Sagira and her Daddy in a walk for an amazing cause... Canines with Cancer.
Cancer affects everyone. You either have it or know someone who does. sad truth. It also affects us doggies. We lost a few friends to cancer...A few years ago, the Weim community lost Groovy. He was a very special Southern Weim whose brave battles were chronicled on aol by his mama, Cassandra.
This past year, we lost another. Rudy was a fellow rescue Weim and his mama is part of mama's group (TSWR) and is remembered fondly on our Rainbow Bridge page
Tyler is a sweet Vizsla that Ma and Da met a few years ago... her mama is the TSWR Treasurer. She fought a very valiant fight for way longer than the vets ever imagined. She lost her battle this past year too.
Last year, we lost Jake. Jake was most special to us... He was the Weim that changed so many lives. Because of him, Ma and Da became so close to Aunt Lynn and Uncle John... he was their 4th Weim... he made them foster failures! He had lung cancer and graced us with the last few years of his life. He was Blue's soul-dog brother and together they inspired many that Old Dogs Rule!

These doggies are each an inspiration to us and many more like them need our help!
Please join us in supporting Jeremy & Sagira in their 2 Million Dog walk to raise money and awareness to Canines with Cancer. You can read about it on Sagira's blog here

Pooped!

WOW! What a day...
Today was the Breeds in Need/Meet and Greet at PetCo. Ma & I went early to set up. When we first got there, the Greyhound Rescue was there. I met Frank and Sasha. The man is really nice, too... Ma sees them there from time to time, but this is the first time I met them!
So we set up and soon, our friends and fellow TSWR Volunteers Bree and Lori came with Rex and Arrow to be ambassa-dogs. Arrow was with us the last time in the other Petco and Rex is my friend now from a few TSWR events we've been to together!

Quite a few people stopped by our area checking out the "pretty gray dogs" and let me tell you all something...

WE ROCKED!!!
We got all kinds of petting and raised alot of donations :-)

One lady asked what the "Donation Dog" vest was so Ma explained that if I am walking around, people can tuck money in the pockets. She said I was like a stripper! Where's the pole? Then ma told her I give new meaning to the term "lap dance" (WTH??!!) She got a big chuckle and proceeded to tuck a few bills... in the jar! (Ma thinks maybe she felt funny "tucking" them in my vest)

And Da of course, was there working, so he paraded me around in the store and I did all my Demo-Dog tricks. And I got a FIVE tucked by a little boy who begged his mommy for $ to donate!

...I work hard for the money; so hard for it honey! BOL
Honestly though, now I am pooped. I am so tired that I can't even muster enough energy to put my head on the bed!

It was fun day and a great cause. I can't wait to do it again.

ciao.

Meet & Greet

Hiya!
Just wanted to let all my fans know I will be out and about this Sunday. Petco is sponsoring Breeds in Need this month so me and 2 other Weimie ambassadogs will be at the Petco in Clifton, NJ. I will be wearing the donation vest so if you are local, come on down an tuck a dollar in my pocket :-)
We'll be chillin' and chattin' with people making them aware of breed specific rescue. Also check out the info on Petco's website... it's interesting how breed rescues end up helping save 2 lives at once when they pull a purebred out of a shelter and make room for another adoptable doggy!

It's also TSWR's First Annual Borders Book Fund Raiser this weekend (October 1, 2, & 3rd). They have a voucher for instore purchases for NJ, PA and DE (Email Ma for a voucher to printout) and there's an online code for any web purchases. When ordering online use Coupon Code TWRE1013K.
Every sale adds up and the more sales this weekend with that code, the higher percentage Borders donates to Weim Rescue! More info about this fundraiser

Please help support Rescue Weims like Me and Blue this weekend.

ciao.

Motherlode!

As you can see, my friends, Grammy thinks I ate 4, but I also was getting bits of a FIFTH hotdog from our neighbor who came to the paw-ty too!
It was a BLAST! It was the Best. Dog Days. Ever. There were neighbors, puppies, prizes and there was even a wolf-hybrid! BUT, BEST OF ALL....THERE WERE HOT DOGS!!! In fact, I think they should call it HotDog Days next year!!
You all know how much I love them and how patiently I await eating them:

Well, I have to admit, Saturday I was a little piggy! BOL.
Before we left for the day, Ma only gave me half my food thinking I'd have a frank or 2 (or 3 or 4 or...) As soon as we pulled into the lot at IOC, I went crazy! I KNEW. I walked right into the pool and started splashing around and getting toys. I even was bringing them back to Da like a "real" fetching dog! Ma and Da said I was a VERY GOOD GIRL playing and swimming all day... they called me Esther Williams I was in the water so much!! BOL. I also was very good about sharing all the toys and gave them back to the doggies when I was asked to.
Our neighbors, Patty and Jim came, too, with Dakota and Skye, the Goldens. It was fun playing with them in the pool; usually D and I just race along the fence (I always beat him , though cause he's got a bum-hip!)
There was a homemade treat vendor there too and by the end of the day, Ma didnt win their raffle prize, so just helped myself to their treats! I think that was not a good idea though cause Ma got embarrassed...I did it while she was calling the raffle prize winners! (oopsie). Just before it was time to go home, the nice hot dog lady gave out FREE hotdogs to the doggies that were still swimming, so OF COURSE you know I had another one! I'm telling you, between Dog Days and the Rescue Picnic, IOC and TSWR really know how to throw a party!
When it was over, we packed up and headed home for our Annual Block Party...Ma got nervous we'd run out of food, so Grammy ran out and bought some... c'mon, guess... yep, HOT DOGS! We wound up not cooking them so there are 24 of my faves in the freezer!!! Da says I ate so many I dont get any now until 2011... so I wll be dreaming of them from now until New Year's Day!


Da took tons of photos, so enjoy the slideshow of Dog Days of September 2010:

ciao.

Pool Pawty!

This is just a little teaser! A photo from last year...Da took tons of photos at Dog Days on Saturday! I had a BLAST at the pool paw-ty :-) Ma should help me post all about it later tonight.

Guess how many hotdogs I ate?

ciao for now.
