Sucia and Patos

     ~Part One

Time has flown!  Sucia (Cindee x Stackhouse 2013) and Patos (Livee  x Stackhouse 2017) are the best.  They are both the perfect size — at 4 years old, Sucia is hovering at 50 pounds, and Patos is just under 50 pounds.  From paws on floor to shoulder height, Patos is about 22 inches high and gorgeous!

I won’t lie….. it was a bit of a challenge adding baby Patos to our established routine, but well worth it.

Our First Blue

I must admit, I was hesitant to get a blue, after having 4 sequential silver weims in my life.  Now, I am so thankful that Patos is blue so I can tell them apart! They are both so distinctive and beautiful.  It also helps that I have a tiny bell on Patos’s collar so I can tell which dog is wandering through the kitchen or other potentially tempting places.

The Two–Each is Unique

After raising two separate single Weimaraners, however, I can say that it was a  totally different experience introducing a second weim puppy into a house.  They have very different personalities — Sucia was always sweet and loving and eager to please.  Patos, on the other hand, is an energetic spitfire and took much more consistency and discipline and repetition than Sucia did.

Patos has an exquisite nose, much more developed that Sucia’s.  She loves the water and took to swimming after tennis balls much easier than Sucia did.  In fact, if I am driving by the lake or ocean, and Patos catches a sniff of it, she starts moaning in her kennel in hopeful anticipation.  She also has a funny-willful streak in her.  For example, when we are walking in my gardens, she will look at you with her big innocent face, and then lightning-hop like Tigger and rip off a flower or leaf and prance ahead, and then look back at you with the big innocent face again, as if to say, “oh wow, who did that?”
