Earl Grey

~A Bundle of Energy and Joy

Earl was born February 28 and came to us during California’s quarantine.  We weren’t really planning on getting a puppy but all of our kids were home and it seemed like a good thing to do.  We are so glad we did!  Earl has brought us so much joy (and so many smiles!) 

We’ve been working on swimming, though he would much rather be retrieving his ball, which he could do all day long.  Earl had endless energy so we’ve started taking him on hikes in the Santa Monica Mountains.  He is becoming quite the fitness trainer as he does not allow us to be stationary for long!  And everyone who meets him is enamored by his striking good looks.  (Luckily, he doesn’t realize how handsome he is.)

We are so grateful to Owyheestar for making our dreams come true of owning a Weim and getting us this wonderful dog!

Since Earl loves the retrieve, you should be able to work him into the water –for the water retrieve. Swimming is easier on the joints and burns a lot of energy. If you have a pond where you can work him along the edge, it would be a good plan to work on the water–slowly getting him to go further and further into the water. At first, toss along the end–where he will swim, this should be easy peasy.

Remy Blue

~ part two

Trips to the “holistic” vet have been fine. No issues with the titer testing, in fact, our vet was quite pleased with your protocol. Remy Blue did fine. Next big milestone is spaying sometime this summer.

Remy Blue took to initially swimming in our pool. She is much more adept at the water than Riley, our last Weim.

Car rides are fun, but Remy Blue becomes sad when my daughter, Evi exits the car for her activity. The tears of a Weim are so heartfelt. She also likes drinking my coffee; she seems to want me to stop at Starbucks for another.

Beach walks are fun for Remy Blue. She seeks out other dogs and wants to run and catch the water. I thinks she likes being a California Weim.

It is so great to see Remy Blue in her element and to hear how well she is doing at the Vet Visits, traveling, and enjoying the beach. Yes–she is a California girl.

Ace

~ Update from California

Just kept thinking I needed to let you know how Ace was doing. Hopefully you were thinking no news is good news in his case! By the picture, you can see he is indeed alive and well. He still is getting both the Probiotic you recommended and the Nuvet supplements. 

He is growing and putting on a little weight thank goodness! He is currently at about 44 pounds. Still is a little prone to the looser stool towards the end of the day but I think we ALL can live with that. His adult teeth are growing in and we will be checking in with the vet in another month or so to schedule his neutering. All in all a great dog. Not too hyper. Not a barker and has only destroyed a minimal amount of things. Lol! Actually I can’t really think of anything that he actually destroyed. Maybe “diminished” a few things is more accurate.Thank goodness that he is crate trained 😊Hope all is well with you and Cliff.


Your Friends,Dee and Ace🐾

He looks to be healthy and happy. Thank you, for remembering us–it is good to hear about little ‘Ace’.

Sealed with a Kiss

Moxie says

     ~ We voted!

She slobbered all over the ballot envelope but everyone was so impressed she carried them in.  I can’t thank you enough.  She is so smart and a great companion.  Whether it’s lounging on the couch and cuddling hard or bringing in the newspaper.  Life would be so dull without her.  I’m hooked!

On another note, I adore all of your blogs and love the weekend updates on you & Cliff.  The last pic you posted of him holding the 3 pups is so good.  What a great pic.  I very much enjoyed Loki’s post today.  Ski patrol.  So awesome!  No surprise though.  These Weims are so smart and want to learn.  Amazing Shela.  Thanks for all you do.

Can we agree that Chrissy voted with Moxie? (Haha) I thought that up all by myself. (Get it?!?)
It has been quite the week. This seems like a good way to punctuate the importance of casting your ballot.

We are doing well. She has quite the temper and will let you know if she doesn’t like something. We are working at getting past the sharp puppy teeth thing. She is going to be a Sharp Hunter.

We are happy to hear that you are doing well with Style. We look forward to hearing about her future training and exploits. Thanks for thinking of us.

Costume, anyone?

Moxie’s In!

~ Cheerleader Sounds About Right

IMG_7097Every Halloween my mom throws a big Halloween costume party and of course, my dogs get to go too.  Moxie was a granny one year and our Cocker Spaniel was Little Red Riding Hood.  Last year Moxie joined my sister’s group costume as a circus clown.  She is in hot demand as she could care less what she is dressed as, as long as she has a ball.  We take advantage of that ball drive and always add a spooky twist with her ball and attach it to the hand of a severed arm every year.  She will drop the entire arm at someone’s feet to throw and she will fetch that darn thing all night!  

This year the dog’s will be dressed in a tribute to the T.V. Show Glee.  Our bossy little Cocker Spaniel will be Sue Sylvester (dressed in a red tracksuit with a whistle around her neck) and of course, Miss Moxie will be a cheerleader (all 80lbs of her).  I even picked up a brand new severed arm to affix a ball too.  Should be a blast!
 
Happy Halloween!

Everyone enjoys seeing Moxie and her entourage. (Haha) We know this year will fabulous with Miss Moxie as a Cheerleader.

Water Anyone

Kula Bleu,

    “says Oh Yeah!”

Here is Kula doing what he loves, swimming after sticks in the river, even when the water gets cold, he is keen for a swim! He is super good at navigating the currents and rapids and knows the commands right or left when he loses track of a stick and I can direct him from the shore!

Many thanks,
Brent

Breeder Comment

It is excellent that Kula is an extraordinarily good swimmer. Maybe it is extra special that you share the love of the water so much. (Haha) Your two OwyheeStar’s have such an excellent life. Thanks ever so much for everything you do with and for them–as well as sending along the Emailed updates. For those that might not have caught the connection Kula Blue and his sister, Pilikia, were recently featured tucked under the covers enjoying the master’s bed.

The photo you posted yesterday made me send you this when April and I get up, they get in bed and take our place!

How many OwyheeStar Weims like to crawl under the covers. We all know that this is a thing. Some share the bed with their owners. Others might not be able to take it over until their ‘hoomans’ get up. Either way, they take full advantage when given the opportunity. Isn’t this about the cutest thing ever?

Meet Enzo

IMG_9680

Hi it’s Tina. I just wanted to share a few photos of Enzo with you. I don’t have a Facebook account as I am not really a social media person.

Enzo is such a great puppy and we love him so much. He is fitting into our family perfectly. I look forward to each new adventure.

Enzo at 11 weeks old has been such a joy added to our life. As he is adorable, he is still very much a puppy chewing on everything and keeping us on watch all the time. Even so we love him as addition to our family.

We are so happy, so thanks again.

Breeder Comment

We are so delighted to hear that Enzo is doing excellent. He sounds like the typical Weimaraner puppy. They love using their mouths, and when it is not the mouth, then it is their feet. Both empower the Weimaraner pup–and are challenging to get in compliance. (Haha) Cliff and I are both so happy to get the news from you. Thanks ever so much for the update. It means the world to us.
