We realize how busy you are with your practice and everything–thanks for thinking of us.
Not Peas in a Pod
Our Yahoo Dogs
We love animals–that includes dogs. Here is a little bit about our two yahoo dogs.
Bodhi and Murray are as different as night and day.
Bodhi is our gentle, quiet therapy dog. I got him as a puppy for my husband who was having health issues at the time. He spent every day keeping my husband company while he recuperated. When Bodhi is in the house we sometimes forget he is there, he goes to a quiet corner and lays down and you never hear from him unless he needs to go out or you open the refrigerator. In fact, we have gone looking for him outside only to come back in and find him still sleeping in his corner.Murray, on the other hand, is a ball of fire and is always on the go. Murray loves to hunt, dig gophers get muddy, filthy dirty, jump in the water and roll in the pasture. He is always on guard for anything out of the norm around our place. He is Mr. personality and is so stinking smart. It is so funny to watch them together, they will be standing in the barnyard, turn to look at each other and it is as if they read each other’s mind saying “Gophers!!!!!” then they race off to dig up gophers.They both enjoy working with us doing our daily chores, irrigating the pastures, feeding and watering the chickens, digging ditches, building a fence, cutting the lawn or standing guard in the pasture. They are excellent guard dogs and wary of strangers coming onto our property. I have no doubts that if someone tried to harm us these guys would make sure we were safe.I have had Weimaraners for over 30 years and they all have different personalities and quirks. Weimaraners are my choice of breed and I love them all. Bodhi and Murray are my first long hairs, for me, they are quite different from the short hair weims I have had in the past, but they are still weims. They love to be with their people and are hurt when they can’t be with you every second.— Rebecca

We are thrilled to share our love of the breed with you. We truly appreciate your update, Rebecca. The photos of Jerry and the two are a treasure. Thank you to the both of you for giving them such an excellent life.
Tucked In

~Goldee Style
Goldee has been news-worthy over the last few years. She made her modeling debut. She tried to teach her little brother (Maverick AKA Meatball) how to win friends and influence Grandma. There is the pool time, the garden time, and just hanging around the house time–sometimes this involves the hair styling. More often than not though, Goldee is tucked into bed.
She seems to love to be wrapped in the luxury of the blankets, sheets, or whatever. This bedtime we find her head buried beneath her pillow. It is as if she hiding from the disturbance to her beauty rest. OMG–we all need our rest and recuperation, right? Please come to bed Mama and quit talking.
To Grammy’s Garden We Go
Goldee’s note about her Grammy’s Garden adventure!!
Every Week
Every week we load up into the back of the Subaru and go to our most favorite place in the world, Grammy’s acre. There’s a routine, dad does a five point turn to back into the driveway, we bark and make all kinds of ruckus, the Grammy’s open the drive way and swiftly get out of the way while mom opens the back hatch and we ZOOM out of the car and into the backyard.
The Drill
The first stop is always the fresh kiddie pools that are poured just for us to splash and enjoy. Next up laps around the acre, make sure everything is still in place and try to spy all of the new garden trinkets the Grammys have added. And then it’s time for fetch. Mom and Dad know the drill, each armed with a Chuck It and Maverick and Autzen go back and forth around the acre chasing their balls. I prefer to stick to my heritage and hunt all of the small critters that are taunting me from the fence line and the chickens – oh the chickens!!! But we will leave that for another day, because today I want to tell you all about the delicious fresh veggies my Grammys have planted just for us!
Our Barrels Filled to the Brim
We each have our own half wine barrels planted to the brim with our favorite veggies, carrots!! But that doesn’t stop us from helping ourselves to the fresh beans growing on the fence line or Maverick jumping into the small veggie garden to help himself.
Emma’s Apple Tree
The Acre is also home to Emma’s Apple tree, Emma’s the girl that brought me into my mom and dad’s life. Now I get to enjoy the apples Emma once spent her summers eating-that really makes my mom happy!
Exhausted We Head For Home
After a few hours of playing and getting to enjoy our fresh fruits and veggies we say our good byes, get leashed up and wait for mom and dad to help us into the car – it’s a big jump after such an exhausting afternoon.
Snitching Tomatoes From My Other Grammy
(This ones from our other Grammy, I helped myself to about four tomatoes before dad hide the planter inside her craft room!!)I hope all of my Weim friends siblings and half siblings get the same royal, fresh treatment at their Grammy’s as we get at ours!

Crazy For
Garden Fresh Carrots
The Weimaraner loves their veggies. The fresher the better. Grandma Terri captured this photo of Maverick (a young Blue Longhair Weimaraner) Crazy for her Garden Fresh Carrots. His big sister (Goldee) is a fan too!
Holly Says
They can’t get enough of their carrots!! My moms have even planted each of them their own veggie half barrels. They can’t wait for things to start sprouting!

Many of you who live in Western Oregon know and love Terri Jacobson. She is Grandma extraordinaire and Holly’s Mama too! Beyond those two fabulous roles in her life, she is known to many for her pet and critter photography. She captured these photos last year during a visit to Grandma’s garden.
Dutch

Dutch and Molly (my Grandmother’s OwyheeStar Weimar)
This is our Dutch dog. From the very beginning, you could tell he was going to be a great hunter. But to tell you the truth he’s always going to be my kid. When he was just a babe I started him out young training him with pheasant wings and of course ‘the ball.’ Dutch wouldn’t stop..and in his training he became great.
I decided about three years ago to teach him how to swim. ( Oh, he was 2 years old when he first swam. ) Mind you he always liked the water. Short hairs usually don’t like the water but he’s a mix* because his Dad is a Longhair. I’d thought I’d risk it. We live on some pretty big water in Boring, Oregon along the Sandy River. The day was hot and water just right. I started him off slow throwing him a stick a little farther each time. After a few trial by error and gulps of water Dutch learned to raise his head and use that long whipping tail as a rudder. By that rate I couldn’t stop him from taking the plunge, jumping in and swimming against the strong currents. Dutch is unstoppable. Thank you, soo much for the joy you’ve brought into our lives. He’s really such a great dog! 😘 ~ Bonney
From Bonney’s Mom–Jane
Dutch has been the best of all the Weimaraners that we have owned. Some of that may be due to our own growth in how to train a hunting dog, but most of it has to do with his personality.He plays alone with a stick ball or blanket…throwing it up into the air and pouncing on it, tossing it and chasing it on his own while he spins, jumps and prances.He plays well with other dogs, too and will lower himself to their level if they are small breeds.Of course, we treat him like a human member of our family, but he has his own dog bed and toys. Bonney has assisted greatly in his training to hold or stay. He will allow Sam to walk around the area while he is on point (hold) and Dutch loves to dive into the brush to retrieve. He does not like to come back empty handed. He has also been swimming in the Colorado River and loves the water.Mom’s dog, Molly, was born about 12 days after Dutch. Mom and Bonney keep me up to date!

Goldee
Birthday Fluff and Fuss
Happiest of Barkdays to my sweet, sassy, naughty, fluffiest girl. I can’t believe you are already four! Here’s to many more romps at Grammy’s, hunting quests of play dates and to getting your very farm. ~ Holly

The very recent birthday celebration didn’t go unnoticed. Goldee (click here to read more about this amazing girl in previous blog posts) is a superstar. Of course, Grandma Terri, keeps us supplied with the professional photos. Holly and Joe keep us in stitches reporting her and Maverick’s antics.
She is the Poster Girl Extraordinaire for the Longhair. Join us in celebrating another year of fun. We sincerely hope she lives long, and continues to do well. Her sweet face is needed in the sometimes toxic world. Thank you, Holly, Joe, and Grandma Terri. You are awesome!
Making Magic
A behind the scenes Look
Terri Jacobson and her crew are nothing short of amazing. They make it look easy, right?
Boom
Weim Crimes
Is A Thing
The Modeling Mogul Prima Donna (Goldee) has her moments. She loves the camera for the most part. Unless it were to interrupt a search for vermin that might gross out some who adore her. She has been known to nab a mouse or gopher. Recently, the turkey leg search was captured on video. Seriously, poultry is dangerous once it is cooked. They can eat the entire live bird with no ill effect. Cooked bones are another matter. Thank goodness this was more a search than a find.
We are honestly not sure what this says about the humans who love their Weimaraner. 
Houston, we have a problem
Not A Party Problem
The Weimie party was fabulous as always. We had a wonderful time and we got to meet Francie and Maddie. That little Francee is adorable.
Goldee was in rockstar-form when we arrived. Poised and beautiful.
Halo Issue
However, I’m afraid Goldee’s halo has fallen and is now severely tarnished.
Yes, the little girlfriend dug a 10 ft trail chasing a gopher down.
Holly was somewhere on the other side of mortified and terrified. It probably didn’t help that many of the weim moms stood there holding our sides from laughter and in between the howls of laughter I was taking photos the whole time.
That is quite the little huntress you built.
Buck’s mom Beth was the hero as she tried to pry the little bugger out of Goldee’s mouth. Apparently “drop it” only applies to tennis balls and not true treasures like gophers.
