Susse
This beautiful, silly girl is Susse. She is 12 years old and came to us from Owyheestar. I decided to give her a bath yesterday and you can tell by her expression and the condition of the bathroom that we had a wild time. After her bath, she had to do her zoomies. She finally settled down to dry off in the sun.
Susse’s “step-sister” passed away 1 and 1/2 years ago at age 16. Since then Susse has really missed having another Weim in the family, as have my husband and I. They did everything together!
On a happy note, we are on the waiting list to get another awesome Owyheestar pup!!! We want Susse to enjoy having another dog to do things with while she still can, she is still so playful even at 12 years old! Thank you Owyheestar for adding so much joy to our lives!
Best wishes, Cheryl and Bob

We look forward to placing another Weimar sister with you before too long. Thank you for the lovely news about her life. We are dreadfully sorry to learn that her step-sister passed. No matter how long they are with us, it is never long enough.
Unusual
Wildlife Encounter
~Devo and the Black Swan
Since you are talking about Weims and water, I wanted to share a video of Devo during an unusual wildlife encounter in the river here. Even though he’s not swimming because it’s in the middle of winter and the water level is low, he still enjoys the water immensely. Plus it was the only time ever that I’ve seen a black swan in the wild, and the swan was completely unfazed by him!

Devo some time back
We thank you for this share. We post it in honor of Devo and the joy he brought to your life. Friday you started a new journey with Azula. She will not replace Devo; however, I am positive Devo is looking down happy to know that you have someone to come along to watch over you.
We look forward to sharing her story and it unfolds, too. Maybe she will swim in the river and have a similar encounter. Who can guess?
Gone
Dog Park in the Sky
~pass the kleenex
This is still very surreal for us, but I thought I needed to let you know that Devo has left us for the great dog park in the sky, where he will hopefully have tennis balls and sticks to play with until the end of time.
He was not feeling well Tuesday night, and first we thought it was just because he had gotten into something, but by 5:30 in the morning yesterday I could tell that something was seriously wrong, and took him into the only emergency vet in town. He was having problems breathing and was very cold, and by the time I got there, he could not even move. I was hoping it was bloat (treatable), but soon was given the news that it was much worse – a pericardial effusion, which likely meant cancer. They performed a Pericardiocentesis, to relieve the fluid build up and waited for the cardiologist to do a more detailed exam.
After the initial procedure he seemed to be doing better (got up to greet me, tail wagging), so I went home to wait for the news. A few hours later, the cardiologist called me and our worst fears were confirmed – he had a tumor in his heart (hemangiosarcoma).
And the fluid (blood) kept filling around his heart, so there was no point in even attempting treatment.
Surrounded By Those Who Loved Him Most
We pulled Montana out of school and went to go see him for our goodbyes. He was surrounded by the people that loved him most on this planet, and we will miss him so terribly that it makes our hearts bleed too – but we know that we did the best we could for him, and I am happy we had him in our lives for 9+ years.
With grief and gratitude, ~Christine

We have spoken a few days back. There are no words to cover Sweet Devo’s departure. We are saddened to hear of the loss. Our heartfelt prayers extended your direction. Oh, Devo, you were much-loved.
To the Desert
Lucy Loved going with Us
Bob, I, and Luigi went out to the desert this past Monday. We took Lucy’s ashes with us. They have a great walking trail out there. It is a mile and a half trail. All along the trail people have placed rocks they have painted with names on them. Some have tributes on them, some people make a big saying out of lots of rocks all kinds of things. Well about halfway through the walk they have a pet memorial that people have made over the years.
Now she is Memorialized There
Bob and I have walked with the kids on that trail for years. Lucy just loved being off leash on that trail. We thought it was only right to bring her ashes there for her final resting place. I ordered a nice river stone through Amazon and we brought it with us to place along the trail. We put her rock on the edge of the trail next to a mailbox that someone must have placed there over the years. I have included two pictures. The first one is of the rock I had made. It is a beautiful rock. It weighs 10 lbs. They etched her name the paw and the years. It will last! In the background, you can see part of the love is eternal in rocks that someone made years ago. Under that you see the whitish sand looking area. That’s is Lucy’s ashes. The second picture I thought turned out beautiful! I was just trying to get all the love is eternal in the pic with Lucy’s ashes in it as well but I thought the background was so beautiful!! You can see the desert with the mountains and blue sky with clouds! I just love this picture!!!
Well, Bob, I and Luigi will now start a new chapter in our lives–Dec 2, 2016
~Love, Idelle

We cannot express our gratitude for all you did with and for Lucy. We are beyond sorry for the loss. We know she left a hole in your heart and home.
The taunting birds and critters will miss her. Her toys will feel her neglect as well. Oh, how she loved her ball. Thank you again!

Hearthside Hopes
Lucy is very content and dreaming that her favorite football team wins the Super Bowl
Breeder’s Note
Cliff and I are sure that an OwyheeStar Weim is going to beat the odds. Their team is going to win the Super Bowl. Lucy is fixated on Pittsburg. It seems they must play today, and when they do, they must get by the Denver Broncos. Do I have the correct?
For those who cannot wait for the season to end, we are about done.
Lucy’s Perfect Perch
I think that all Weims must love looking out the window!!
Repurposing the Kennel
Lucy on the Blog
We loved seeing Lucy in your blog last week. I sent that out to my friends. It’s funny how it seems like everyone’s Weims just love looking out windows huh?Happy Birthday to You
…Dear Lucy
July 23, 2015--Today is Lucy’s 9th birthday. She and Luigi got a special treat of chicken while Bob and I sang Happy Birthday to her. I took a video that I hope turned out well enough for you to see and hear. We hope you enjoy it, although our singing is pretty bad!!! LOL!!! The kids, of course, gobbled down the treat. Lucy was smiling which I’m glad showed up on the video.
~ Idelle and Bob
Breeder’s Note — Thank you, Idelle and Bob, for allowing us to share this video. Happy Birthday to Lucy!
Sleeping Beauty
Sunny Spread-Eagle
I snuck in our bedroom this morning to take this pic. Lucy was sound asleep in the sun spread eagle for all to see. It has been awhile since she has slept on her back. She did it a lot more when she was younger. I sure hope your having a nice Saturday. I loved the puppy pics in your blog today. Take care. ~Idelle
