Secret Santa

One of the boards we post on does Secret Santa for the pups. It has a $20 limit and is SO much fun. I look more forward to doing this than I do receiving my own gifts.

Starr and Sagira's box came in the mail. Here is what they got and a video of them opening their box. Starr loves this duck. To bad he only survived a few hours. Harley and Starr got in a tug of war over him and decapitated him. RIP ducky...

Adoption Day

So...Hailey's (now Christmas) adoption day was today. She is now in her new home with her new mom and 2 sisters Heaven and Emy. I think she is going to do great there. She has a pretty new pink collar on and a very nice dog bed to curl up on. I am anxious to see new photos and get updates on the sweet girl. HAPPY ADOPTION DAY CHRISTMAS!

We also went to the training club last night. It was an agility run through and potluck. It was a lot of fun. One of the people in Sagira's class drew us a photo of our baby girl. I LOVE this present. Things like this mean the world to me. We went out today and bought a frame and matte to put it in. Now to get Jeremy to hang it up for me.

Hailey learns to shake

Hailey (AKA Christmas) goes in for her spay tomorrow morning. After that she has her happy adoption day on Saturday! Yipee!

My husband tried to teach her to shake and couldn't do it. So the other day I was sitting here waiting for him to get work and figured I would try. Guess what she knows how to do now? Drum roll please....



I am such an awesome trainer! haha

Level 5 agility

Last night was graduation night in agility. Sagira made it all the way to level 5 without being held back. She had a good run...but didn't pass level 5. It is okay though, they said it is mostly Jeremy and not Sagira, so that is good. :)

Here is a video of her first run of the night:



and her second run:



Sagira also started her retrieve class last Thursday. I really need to get a photo of her doing her "take it" command...she looks so pathetic.

We taught Hailey (aka Christmas) how to shake tonight. I will try to get video of her tonight and put it up tomorrow. She is such a cutie pie. I am anxious for her adoption day this Saturday. She deserves the very best and I have no doubt she is going to be going to a great home.

Oh no...not Monday again



I need a nap

New dog bed

We were shopping with my mom awhile back and saw this really cute fabric. I thought it would make a super cute dog bed. Thing is...I don't know how to sew. So we found someone that was willing to sew it for us if we paid them. So here is the final product...pretty darn cute.



and with our lovely models



Our foster dog is going on her home visit tomorrow. I really hope the dogs like her and this all works out.



Sagira LOVES being a foster sister. She teaches all the fosters the proper way to do things and is the best foster sister ever. Great job Sagira!



Play, play, play...that is all that goes on at home

Back with a lot to share

First...this past Saturday we went to Petsmart with Starr, Sagira and our foster Hailey. We put an adopt me banner on Hailey's leash and this lady came up and asked to see her. She fell in love with Hailey immediately. We gave her the information on how to go about adopting Hailey and she already sent in her application. So it looks like once Hailey gets spayed on December 18th she will be going to her new forever home. Hailey will have 2 other dogs to live with and a cat. We are so happy for Miss Hailey.

Sunday Jeremy did his first ever photo shoot. Some friends at our training club wanted photos for their Holiday cards so Jeremy agreed. We went to this really pretty area that was creekside. The weather was cold enough to make the waterfall ice up partially and just made for beautiful photos. We have had people ask us if this background is real. I am only posting the ones of the dogs, I don't know if their owners really want to be on Sagira's blog, haha.

We also still need some players in Paw-It Forward..... anyone? anyone?

Paw It Forward

Brownie asked for players in "Paw It Forward" so we volunteered to join in the fun. We sure are glad we made that decision. We got a box this weekend from sweet Brownie. It has so many cool toys and treats in it and even a cool neck tie for Sagira. There was also a very cute card from Brownie as well. So here is a video of Sagira and Starr opening the goodies and also a photo of Sagira modeling her new neck tie and goodies.

THANK YOU BROWNIE!

Now...in order to play we agreed to also "Paw It Forward" to three players. So we need three people (inside the US please) to play with us. If you agree to play you will receive a box from us and then you agree to let three others play with you and you send them a box when it is your turn. Sounds like fun doesn't it? So...let me know if you want to play.

I think she likes her

Sagira is really enjoying having a younger puppy in the house to play with. Sagira loves to play with other dogs and is even annoying the puppy because she wants to play ALL the time. Here is a little video of them playing together.

Happy Thanksgiving

Just wanted to say things have been super busy with the new foster puppy. Found out she had tape worms, YUCK. But was put on Droncal to get rid of them. Hailey and Sagira are having so much fun playing together. I will post photos of them as soon as I can.

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope those traveling are safe.

She is here!

This morning we drove an hour and 1/2 to pick up the new foster puppy and her brother Bogey. They were scheduled to be euthanized yesterday but they held them for us since we said we could get them today. Her name was Bacall but we are going to change it to Hailey. She is so cute and reminds us so much of our little one, Sagira.

The dogs are adjusting to the new foster well. Hailey had a very long day. Being taken away from her brother (he is in a new foster home as well), getting a bath, being introduced to our dogs, etc. Poor girl is exhausted. Hopefully she will play a little more tomorrow.

Here are some pics of her from today.

Where are we going? huh? huh?



Finally sleeping after all the twists and turns in the hills.



Hey, this car thing isn't so bad after all





How cute is she?





I'm going to get you!



Sagira trying to teach her new foster sister how to play





Phew...this has been a very busy day



I think I am going to just crash now

Our new foster

We are getting a new foster puppy on Saturday. I was looking online and saw this cute little girl and read that she only had 72 hours left at the shelter. She is a really high kill shelter. I went into panic mode and found a rescue group to take her if I would provide the foster home...so here we are. She reminds me so much of our baby Sagira. I am anxious to meet her and hope Sagira enjoys having a younger dog around to play with.

Wordless Wednesday

WOW!

First of all...I would like to thank Addie, Lucie and Hailey for hosting the Halloween costume contest. It was a lot of fun. I would also like to thank all of our friends, family, Weimaraner Addict friends and Wish Upon A Hero helpers that voted for Starr and Sagira and helped them win.

Here is a little video of Starr and Sagira opening their box from Addie, Lucie and Hailey...



The prizes... We were super excited about the Go Dog toy. We drove all over town a few months ago looking for Go Dog products after they were recommended by someone on Weim Addict.

New leash and collar

We went to Pet People yesterday and had a 30% off coupon for a leash and collar combo. So we picked out a new one for our little Sagira. It looks really pretty with her blue eyes. She was prancing around like she just knew she had a new collar and leash on, it was really cute.

Another weekend over

I wish the weekend was just beginning instead of coming to a close...but what can you do? This weekend was so nice. We spent a lot of time outside playing frisbee with the dogs. We did an adoption today for my Weim rescue group. Those are always bitter sweet. It is great to see the Weimaraner going to a new family, but also sad to see the foster home have to say goodbye to the Weim they have been caring for.

Still trying to catch up on photos. Here are some from last week.

Harley on his dog bed with toys



Mystic says HA HA dogs I made it to a dog blog...how what?



Samick



and Sagira, I swear she is part cat. She always steals the cats toys. She is showing Harley her new toy mouse.

One for the cats

Our training club had a TON of gift baskets for raffle prizes this past weekend. You could choose which one you wanted. I went after the 2 that had the $25 gift cards to Petsmart in them and won one of them. Mystic sure was happy she got some new toys.



She can't wait to get in them...

Phew...have been so busy

With Sagira's first trial and birthday over I am finally able to catch up on some things.

For today here is a little video clip of Sagira enjoying one of her birthday toys. She loves anything that squeaks and learned her famous head shake move from her big sister, Starr.

Sagira's Party Pics

So Sunday our baby girl turned the big TWO. We had a party for her at the dog park. It was a lot of fun and she got more gifts than I think I ever received. She is so popular and cool (unlike her mom and dad, haha).

The birthday table before people arrived



We cut out brownies in the shape of dog bones (these were a hit)



People starting to arrive



The birthday girl ready for her party in princess style



We played fun games like bobbing for hot dogs



Nacho tried to cheat and dig his hot dogs out



Scarlet won and had all 10 pieces out within 13 seconds (wow, that is FAST)



After that the owners played the toy exchange game. Everyone drew a number and you drew in your order number and had choice to get a new toy and open it or steal someone elses. It was a lot of fun...





Scarlet helping her mom open her toy exchange item



Lisa thought the bone was for her...silly girl



Then it was time to sing Happy Birthday to Sagira and have some dog cake (was yummy eanut butter, carrots and honey)



Darla always gets the dogs (she gives out free treats to all)



After the cake it was time to open presents



I think Sagira loves her new toys and yummy treats







Sagira with her sister Starr and their pet sitter Tiffany


Most of the dogs that came (some had to leave early)



Left side close up



Right side



After the photo shoot we all went into the dog park for lots of play time



After the party we had cake at home again so her brothers could celebrate with her since they didn't get to go to the dog park. Okay...I am SO impressed with the boys in this pic. They sat and STAYED with food this close to them. Good boys!

Starr was the first one to eat her cake of course



and she stole Sagira's too!



Harley and Samick enjoy their cake



and Sagira shares with Harley since Starr ate hers



It was a great party! Here is Sagira at home with all her new toys and treats...she loves everything and has been busy squeaking away with all her new toys.
