I hope you keep us posted –a lot of folks get wrapped up in the process of raising their new fur family member and soon forget us. Good intentions and even a note saying we can expect an update sometimes get delayed indefinitely. Sadly, some people update us once or possibly twice (in their pet’s lifetime) and then drop a note when their OwyheeStar family member crosses over the Rainbow Bridge.

With so many posting news on social media (which is excellent)–I don’t always get shareable information from the more social media savvy folks –they do their own sharing. It is undoubtedly easier than allowing me to post a cute story–I get it. Most of what I can share is from people who are not on social media and frequent posters. Honestly, that leaves me often begging for a short story and photo. Some of you are ever so gracious to send something along regularly, though. For that–I am ever so glad. Please keep your stories coming–and include at least one photo. Thank you!

This was the kids’ reward for a good first month of remote learning. Life is so different for them right now, it’s fun to be able to do something special and out of the ordinary in a good way for them. ❤ Bonus points for the dogs loving it too!

Family fun that includes the Weimars–we love it. What a fabulous idea.

Ava Blue

~ 12 Candles

Hard to believe it has been 12 years since we picked up this bundle of love from you!!!

Ava Blue (Megan x Blue) turned 12 and spent the day lounging next to me.

Happy Birthday Ava Blue–thanks for being such a sweet girl all these years.

The Boys Who Bring Us Life

They take us on a run every day, or else. They rule the roost. We cannot live without Weimaraners

I cannot thank you enough for making our lives whole. Even though they are pushy, loud and in control of me.

We enjoy reading about their life (and antics with you)–thanks for this lovely update.

Nicki and Annie–part two

~ Road Trip–when are we leaving?

This last winter we took both girls to Diamond Lake, we were concerned because Nicki gets car sick every time she goes in the car.  Bob and I placed bets of when Nicki would get sick on the way.  She made it a little over an hour before she vomited which is longer than either of us expected.  She did very well the rest of the way and all the way home.  We took them twice and Nicki does not get sick anymore.  She did not get motion sickness it was nerves. 

As soon as she would get in the car she would start shaking.  We are both very happy that she does not get sick anymore so we can take her everywhere with us.

Annie went Antelope and Deer hunting with Bob, she was so happy that she had dad to herself. Nicki is such a cuddle bug; she snuggles with me every night.  She is mom’s girl.  Annie is dad’s girl.  We love the girls so much and enjoy them.  Thank you for the best dogs ever!

Well, it is extraordinary that you each have one of your own. Many folks struggle–wanting to each have their own, and the Weims are not cooperating. So, you have that. And two females, each wanting to be in charge, can prove challenging. They have worked out co-existence, and probably each Weimaraner has their realm where they rule.

Nicki and Annie–part one

Waiting For a Treat Here

Both girls love ice cream, peanut butter and laying out in the sun.  When we brought Nicki home Annie was not thrilled, she laid on our bed every day and would only come out to potty and eat.  Nicki could not jump up there because she was too little.  Of course, Annie put on weight and the vet wanted the extra pounds off. Happy to report that Annie got the extra weight off.

Annie was pretty spoiled and her nose was out of joint.  It took a long time for Annie to come around, Nicki liked her right from the start.  They will lay on the couch or bed together but never touching.  I am so jealous of other Weims we see posted on your blog that accept each other right away.

They are so much fun though and they will play together now. Nicki likes to zoom as fast as she can and she knows Annie does not like it. Nicki likes to tease her, Annie will jump up and lay Nicki down. Annie growls and barks, she sounds pretty vicious but her tail is wagging the whole time.  Nicki will chew on Annie’s ears when she has her pinned but does not bite hard.

Thank you for this fabulous update. We know everyone will enjoy reading about Annie and Nicki–your two OwyheeStar Weims. We appreciate you remembering us.

At Lake Roosevelt

~With Freya and Ava

I thought you would like seeing a couple of photos of the girls ( Freya and Ava Blue) on their trip on the pontoon boat at Lake Roosevelt.

We started out with the life jackets and then gave them a reprieve after they settled down.

Actually, they were exhausted from swimming and wanted to sleep all the way back to the house!

Thanks ever so much for this update–it is greatly appreciated.

Tallyn at Five

~Along with Tobryn who will be Eight this Year

Tallyn beating the heat and humidity,  He just had a birthday (5th) and celebrated with a T-bone along with Tobryn who will turn 8 in October. 

I just turned 70 and wondering if I have the energy to raise another weim.  Somedays yes, somedays no.  I will send a pic of Tobryn.  Hope you and Cliff are staying cool and staying healthy.  This covid virus has changed everyone’s life as we use to know it.  I am doing great.  Ron (Fargo, ND)

Campbell

Just wanted to check in and see how you all are weathering the COVID-19 pandemic.  I hope you are handling it well and keeping your health and sanity.  Campbell is just over 8 months old now and really turning into a fantastic pup!  

She has incredible energy (which we love) and is very trainable.  I was able to take her on her first mountain bike ride this past weekend (slow and only about 30 minutes) and she never broke heal during the entire ride.  We love her and just wanted to say thanks for such a wonderful dog.  Here are a few pictures of here I wanted to share with you.


All the best,
Chris & Toni
Gracie, our other Weim, is 12 1/2 years old now and still going strong!
