We got back from a great vacation in Greece this weekend. We are hoping the perfect soul will be on our path in the future.

Glad to hear she is ok. I have always given peroxide and cough medicine on a spoon. You could also practice this (with something else) so that when the need arises they will take somethig from a spoon.

Not so much luck at the moment:

– Female is in a foster home but they can’t tell much about her. One thing…she definitely cannot be off leash.
– Male #1 doesn’t get along with other dogs.
– Male #2 the owner is in a divorce situation but has decided to try a dog walker so she can keep him.

Since we will be going on vacation in a few weeks we are just keeping our eyes peeled for a good fit to come along!

UPDATE!!!!

DH has caved (joke). At the moment there are 3 senior weims in Belgium and I am going to be getting info on them to see if any would be a good match for us. One female and two males. I am leaning towards the female because she is in a foster home which means they would be able to give us a lot of info on her. She is 11 yrs old already, but is listed as pretty fit for her age. Would be a good energy match for Amos (11 at the moment).

There is a male in a shelter (10 yrs old) with no other info online.

There is also a male (8 yrs old) being rehomed by his owner (sound familiar Bas&Mya?) because of lack of time. Would really have to see him because unfortunately some owners don’t always give the whole story.

We always have a new dog evaluated by the trainer we use. She can tell a lot more about character and such than we can. Also always take a new dog to the vet for a look over.

Now….fingers crossed everyone!

I must say I haven’t been on the form a lot either lately. Seems FB has take over a lot. Would hate to see such a great group of weim lovers lose touch!

Poor girl, that must have hurt! Never heard of baking soda paste for stings. Good old fashioned remedy (not suited for dogs probably) is wet chewing tobacco on a sting to “suck” out the poison. I grew up with that in the Smokt Mts, did help a few times. I don’t usually have chewing tobacco on me…maybe add it to the first aid kit 😉

When adopters are far away it’s hard to take the time to meet & greet properly. We try to meet at least twice on neutral ground before a meeting at home. Amos was also jealous if Seamus got too much attention and would snap at Seamus (Amos was the new guy then!). Amos will also snap at another dog that leans on me (some dogs just love attention) while he is always fine with dogs we meet on walks. Because Seamus was such a laid back dog we made a big point with Amos and the RR Luna we had before Amos to not allow “bullying”. There is a pecking order under the dogs, but we make the rules and insist on nice manners. That also goes in a one-dog home. The down side is not letting your first dog feel ignored…very tricky situation.

Do you have friends w/dogs that come over to your house? How does she then act? Or did she really not like the new boy?

I always feel bad for them since you can’t explain what’s going on. We got Seamus to a level that he didn’t get too worked up about it. Amos has gotten worse with thunder storms since Seamus passed. Amos used to go and lay w/Seamus to comfort himself. I have slept a few nights on the couch because of them! Last one we dragged Amos’ bed under the stairs that lead up to our bedroom, very comfy dark tight space and he was fine.
