From us to all of you....

Happy Holidays!

Secret Santa on Weim Addict!!

Deer Secret Santa,
We thought we weren't good doggies dis year and were gonna miss out on swapping prezzies. I was even more disappointed 'cuz Ma usually is on this sort of stuff. And also because lasteryear we had so much fun on Blue's last Secret Swap and I fink dis year Haze deserves to get in on the fun!! It's his first Christmas wif us and I think even though he's a bad boy around udder doggies, and sometimes he can be a pest, he's really a good boy and I kinda' like him now!
so....you know what I want (hot dogs!!!) but here is a wishlist from both of us:
bully sticks
grain-free biscuits/treats
stuffies (I get to destuff/desqueek them and Haze nooks on the "pelt"
Yours truly,
Junie and Haze

Happy Bird-day!

Hiya Blog pals!
Just wanted to wish all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving and to voice my gratitude today...

I am thankful for my Ma and Da and family. I am thankful for hot dogs. I am thankful for the joy that adopting Haze has brought back into our home this year (I still miss my brother Blue!) and I am thankful for all the love and support I have from my friends on my blog and in real life!

ciao. June

ps:
Save a turkey...Stuff a KONG
BOL!

I am so not a CAT

BOL!
So I've tried Lure Coursing twice now at Matches and stopped part-way around and started stalking the bags! I like running after them, but I'd rather be hunting...
We all went a few weekends ago to the second Match. Even Haze cam along even though he's not into coursing. We got there so late but the nice lady who runs the matches let me in at the last second. I should have just run 2 practices, but Off I went on the Tallyho. Around the first corner and bam! STALK MODE. I crouched and crawled on my belly toward those darn elusive white bags. We all laughed and I ran towards Da and tried to finish but TIME was called. No ribbon for me. I gotta say I'm happy to get out and do these activities even if I'm not Qing, but I fink' Ma and Da get disappointed.

After the run, we decided to go for a little walk and work Haze with WATCH and focus on humans and treats instead of other dogs. He did pretty good. Then we took lots of pitchahs. Working, walking, posing...all in the pretty park with fall leaves and DUCKS.


We had a really nice day and after the park, we went to Petco to visit wif Auntie Sandra. Ma and Da took her to lunch and we stayed in the crates like the show dogs. We were good as gold ;-) Haze even got some more training in the petstore. He was a very good boy--even I'm impressed! The ride home he was so pooped he fell asleep on the door handle (He was seatbelted in and I rode int he crate). I fell asleep at home in Da's knee nook. Ah---the Weimie life!

ciao.

Belle of the Ball!

Hiya Blog pals!
Yesterday was a HUGE day... We had a RESCUE PARADE at the WCA Eastern Futurity/Maturity. What does that mean, you ask? Well the show dogs gave us some time to shine in our own right :-) In between all the promising young Weim pups of future generations, our club set aside some time for rescued Weims to have a chance to parade around the show ring while a short bio about each of us was read! We even got prizes and ROSETTES like they do @ shows!

I was up first and I tried not to be so excited that I pulled Ma, but I couldn't help myself BOL...Da was takin' pitchahs, so he didnt get a chance to parade with Haze, but next year he will! We actually had about 10 Weims scheduled but a few had to drop out at the last minute and one guy was late by about 15 min (We gave him a ribbon anyways since he had come from a 5k race that he placed 6th in running dogs and 1 in running Weims!)

After we each trotted around, the show photographer set up his display to even have a special sign and took a group shot!

'cuperating

(Ma had surgery laster-week)
She wanted to post pretty pitchahs and thank all her wonderful friends and family for all the lovely get well wishes, bouquets of flowers, yummy fruit baskets, homemade meals and in-general help/support since her surgery!
She's feelin' a little bit better each day with lots of loving from Nurse June and Dr. Haze...and a lots of TLC from Da. We LOVE havin' her around all day, but we fink she'll be feeling good enuf to go back to work soon.

Here are just a few photos Da took of all the pretty flowers and fruits!
(too bad Da didnt take a shot of the delicious pasta et fagioli and mozzarella appetizer Lainey made; it was like a work of art and tasted so good!)...






Junie's Ma here:
To all my loving family and friends: Chris, Ma, Aunts E and Judy, Lainey, Maureen, Linda, Jeannine, Sandra, JD, TSWR, GSWC, Carole, Bonnie, Jim and Pat, Lisa, Jan, Melissa, Lisa, WA, WW/YOUniversity, my beloved dogs June and Haze and my pbp... Thank you all, SO MUCH for everything these past few days.... it means the world to me to have such support and love!

P-U!

Skunked!
The udder nite, me and Haze were outback sniffing around OUR TURF when I spied a weird looking cat...We started barking to chase it out (like we do with all the other darn cats in our yard) and it got real scared and lifted it's tail and squirted sumfin' on me! The freakin' nerve! Oh My Dog... it burned my eyes and nose and I smelled to high heaven! Da said sumfin' about a skunk (Maybe that's a smelly cat? I dunno)

I was going crazy rubbin my face on the concrete and grass. Haze didnt get squirted as bad since he was behind me, but he's a little bit stinky' too. :-( They told us that we'd be ok once they cleaned us off and that Blue got skunked once too... he even throwed-up form the smell; poor boy.

Ma had to run to Walgreen's to get baking soda for our "paste" So many people say use tomato juice but this stuff works better:

1 box baking soda
1 Qt. Peroxide
1 teaspoon Dawn dish liquid

Make a paste and apply to skunked area (careful of the eyes). Leave on for 15 min. Rinse with warm water. After drying, take a whiff, if we still smell, do it again.

Just a note of caution, do NOT pre-mix the paste to store, it can "explode"...just keep the 3 ingredients on hand. Another tip: we dogs usually get skunked when it's late and chilly. Try to check the yard before letting us out. Skunks spray OIL so rubbing with water will spread it. try to blot and apply paste in small areas. If after a few days we still stink (and we usually do, especially if it's damp or raining out) make a white vinegar and water solution (1/2 and 1/2) & soak a paper towel in it to wipe us down.
If the house stinks, spread cinnamon on a baking sheet and toss in the oven for a while on very low heat (200º) Cautiously burn candles.

Ma and Da keep calling me stinky face, but I knows they still love me (and Haze). That pitcher is us after my treatment.... I HATED it, but I knowed Ma and Da was not hurting me, but it was SO COLD out I was shiverin' and barkin' and trying to run away! I was so traumatized, I let Haze snuggle close to keep warm BOL!

From now on, I'm staying away from striped cats!

ciao.
