Did someone say Conga line?

haha ...Sit Stay had a contest on Facebook yesterday for who could do the best Conga line. Looks like we won. WHOO HOO...this was so much fun because dad was giving us lots of treats. Poor dadster had a cold but mom asked him nicely if they could please give it a try and good thing because we won. What did we win? Who knows....it was just for the fun of it but they said they will be mailing us some goodies.



Also, my friend is having her first ever give away for reaching 100 followers. If you don't already follow, please go check out the blog and enter the contest. :)

The Official Gift Unwrapper

Bad boy Bokeh...fits him perfectly

Weimaraner Wednesday

A piece of my blanket

So I heard about this WONDERFUL project where a quilt is being made for the Houston Pittie Pack. You can read more about the project on Frankie's blog here. Dad helped me cut a piece of my blanket to mail off to have put in the quilt. I am so happy to be able to do something to be part of this.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from my family to yours.

Facebook Friday

Guess what! Mom let me set up my very own PAGE on Facebook. I know some of my friends are out there on Facebook so if you are LIKE my page if you want to. My Facebook Page is HERE

For those not on Facebook, I know you would if you were out there, I understand. :)

Mom is busy wrapping presents at Barnes and Noble's Easton location today from 10 until 5 for her rescue. She gets a day off work and decides to volunteer all day wrapping presents, what is wrong her? Lets hope she and the rest of the volunteers can raise lots of green papers for mom's rescue.

Another one?

Mom and dad decided to purchase another Canvas print. Dad wants to use this one if he sets up anywhere for his photography stuff so he can show some of his work.

Who is that pretty girl?

Weimaraner Wednesday

What a perfect day to show you the video of us opening up Starr's secret santa from our Weimaraner forum.

Canvas Prints

Mom and Dad are "BzzAgents". They signed up for a new project for Canvas Prints by Meijer. They received 1 free canvas print each to try out. Mom and dad said how easy this was to do. They just put the photos they wanted on their SD card, took it to Meijer, put it on their computer and picked that they wanted an 11x14 Canvas Print and it was ready the next day by noon. They turned out really nice.

Who is this cool girl?



Yep...I'm good! Mom wanted this one as a canvas print because this is a photo of me earning my first ever agility title and it means a lot to mom.



They hung this one up on MY wall in the house



Doesn't it look nice?



They also had one made of Starr



They were thinking of having another one made of Starr and donating it to the rescue. Do you guys think anyone would buy it?

Who is running with me?

So mom and dad made the mistake of never letting anyone run me in agility when I was younger. Now I only like to run with dad. But one of my favorite people, Cindy, from the training club has been working on getting me to run with her. Here is a video of me running a course with her for the first time. I wasn't too sure about this but mom and dad seem to think it would be good if I would run for others in case dad hurts himself or gets sick at a trial or something.

We have a therapy dog again!

Momster is so excited to announce that we have a therapy dog in the family again. Bokeh passed his TDI test last weekend. Dad put together a video of Bokeh taking his TDI test for those who would like to see what all you have to do during the test. Enjoy!

Super Sad day

We just heard the news about our friends over at Kissa-Bull had a house fire last night and lost their home and five of their seven dogs. My heart goes out to them, I can't even imagine the pain they must be feeling right now. Mom has been crying because she feels so bad for the family that has already been through so much.

A CHIP IN ACCOUNT has been set up here please leave them a donation to help them get back on their feet again. No donation is too small.

More Pressies

My friend Jazzi had a Christmas exchange. We received our box from Minnie

Here is a video of us opening the box of goodies up:



Here I am with all my cool pressies

Weimaraner Wednesday

Guess who weighs 52 pounds instead of only 27!





It is sweet Luka!



Look at how beautiful she is



We just received an update from her foster family. They told us that Luka is doing well she is up to 52 pounds now. Only another 5-10 to go and she will be at her ideal weight. Her swollen foot is now completely healed. She went in last week to have her stitches removed from her spay prior to us bringing her into the rescue. Her trust is building with people and she is a very sweet girl. Now...for the extra great news. Luka has a forever family waiting to adopt her. She will be moving to her forever families home shortly. We wish you many happy Weim wishes sweet Luka.

Thank you again to all of our blog pals who donated to help care for Luka. We are only $30 of our chip in goal (you can see the link on the right side of my blog).

So back in October I entered my pirate costume photo to the Five Sibes costume contest. I won 2nd place. WHOO HOO!



Here is a video of me opening my box from Five Sibes.



Thank you very much, you know how much I LOVE squeakers.

For my Facebook Friends...it is that time to bug you again for a minute of your time to go vote for my sister Starr. We only have one more week to go and she is really down in votes. We sure could use some votes and appreciate all of you that have voted for her. You can vote for her HERE HERE HERE. One vote every 24 hours. Thanks everyone!

So much fun

We went to my training club's agility Christmas run through and pot luck. It was so much fun. I will be posting photos and telling you more about that later.

My little brother, Bokeh, is taking his Therapy Dog exam today. I have been trying to help him study and be a good boy. Cross your paws that he passes. Mom is pretty nervous.

On a side note....mom and dad had our roof replaced 2 years ago after a bad wind storm ripped a huge hole in it. Well....now we have a leak in our living room ceiling. The new roof guy went up and broke the following news to us "the other roofer used old materials" and "didn't know what he was doing, there is no pattern to the way he put down the shingles" and "he didn't even vent the roof, you always have to have a vent on your roof". So now mom and dad have to come up with LOTS of green papers to pay for these repairs. Mom just wants to cry, she doesn't understand how someone could really screw you over that way. She tries to be nice and do good things and gets this in return. Poor momster...but hopefully the new roof guy can get it all taken care of for us.

Weimaraner Wednesday

First of all, I would like to thank each and everyone of you that sent good thoughts, donations and prayers to Luka. Luka is a survivor and she proves it each and every day. You saw the photos from when we picked Luka up only weighing 27 pounds. Well look at beautiful Miss Luka now.



Amazing what a few weeks of love, food, care and attention will do for a girl huh?

The latest update I have on Luka is that she had to go back in for surgery about a week ago. When they spayed her (before we picked her up) they used some sort of metal sutures on her. They were never removed and were rubbing on her causing a lot of irritation. We took her in and had those removed and replaced them with better sutures. While she was under they cleaned her teeth. They said 1/2 her mouth looked really nice and the other 1/2 looked like she has chewed her way out of something. So now she has a nice clean mouth. She also had a swollen foot. She had some infection in her foot so they drained it. Her foster family told us that it looking a lot better and the swelling is now all gone.

Again, thank you SO very much to all who helped out Luka. Each and everyone of you helped in your own special way and we truly appreciate all your kind hearts.

Gotcha Day

So Trupanion Pet Insurance is having a contest and want people to tell them about their Gotcha Day. Well....you see I came to my house as a foster pup. Mom and dad always said no more dogs so they decided to foster. Mom knew as soon as she met me that she loved me. It was truly love at first sight. She talked dad into letting her foster me and well...you can say the rest is history. They broke their no adoption policy and adopted me. I am so happy they did because I have a great time here with my brothers and sister. Mom was so excited when they told the rescue group that they would like to adopt me. They could actually pick out a name and really get attached to me. They took me out that night and bought me a new collar and some new puppy toys.

Here is our first family photo



Also, don't forget that Starr is in a contest on Facebook. For our Facebook friends can you please go vote for her? You can vote once every 24 hours. VOTE HERE. Thank you to my friends that voted for her already, we are down by 13 votes. AHH...so close!

We have been busy

Wow, we have been busy going from store to store. First we got to go shopping to buy Frankie, Ernie and Sarge some new toys and treats. Then today we went shopping for my Secret Santa from Jazzi's blog. We got to go shopping for Oskar, that was so much fun. Then later today we went to Mutts and Co to go shopping for Starr's Secret Santa, we can't say who that one is yet because we don't know if they read our blog or not. But we have had so much fun, except yesterday when momster was trying to take photos of us hopping and the camera dropped and hit the floor and is now DEAD. RIP Mr. Camera you have given us many memories.

Which ones do you think they will like Bokeh?



Hey Sagira, do you think they might like some of these?



How about some of these toys??



While there they picked up Bokeh some thinning things because his ear hair is out of control mom says.



I sure hope everyone likes the things we picked out for them.

Guess what today is....

It is my 3rd Blogoversary. Never did I expect my blog to turn into this, I just started it three years ago to keep track of my therapy dog adventures and now look at it. I have met SO many wonderful friends that I am SO very thankful for and have so many great memories on my blog.

Happy 3rd Blogoversary to me. :)

Also, I have a favor to ask. Starr is in her very own photo contest on Dublin Dog's Facebook page. It is for awkward photos and we took one of Starr with her ears blowing away. If any of our friends on Facebook can vote for her and spread the word we sure would appreciate it. Trying to get some prizes so we can donate some of them to mom's rescues Weim and Cheese event. The link to vote is: HERE You can vote once every 24 hours so vote and come back and vote again in 24 hours. Thanks!

Friends on Friday

Last week at the agility trial I told you that I might get to see my friend Frankie, his new brother Ernie and Sarge's mom. Well, they showed up and we had so much fun. Frankie brought me some delicious home made turkey jerky. Mom made me share it with Bokeh, Starr and Harley. They all loved it as well.

Sorry we don't have many good photos. Mom was trying not to use her flash in the building because she didn't want to cause any distractions with the agility ring.

Here is my mom with Ernie (Frankie's new lil bro)



Maggie's mom was there to and wanted to love on Ernie as well, it is hard not to he is so darn cute



and here I am thanking Frankie's mom for bringing Frankie and Ernie to cheer me on



and here I am loving Sarge's mom



and me with some of my best furiends



I am a GIANT compared to them huh?



We had so much fun and it was so nice to meet Sarge's mom as well. Can't wait to meet up again.

Check out the Bling!

This is our friend Bling. She is actually a cousin of Bokeh's. Isn't she cute? We just love when we get to have playdates with her.



Well her mom bought her this super cool harnes that she "blinged" out, isn't it cute? They are great for running agility because you just pop them off and you are ready to run. Well, mom and dad have been wanting to get me one but they are a bit pricey. They found out that Bling's mom wanted to sell hers to get Bling a smaller one. So guess what....



a sale was made and I now have some of my very own Bling Bling. haha. Mom and dad even ordered me a new name tag for the side because you can change them to say whatever you want so they ordered me a pink glitter "SAGIRA" and "AGILITY" for the other side. How neat huh? I think pink is my color.

Weimaraner Wednesday (GRAPHIC RESCUE PICS)

Just wanted to give those faint of heart a little warning that these pics are hard to see. As you know my mom volunteers for Louisville Weimaraner Rescue. A few weeks ago they received a call from animal control in IN that they picked up a very emaciated Weimaraner. One of the adoption coordinators went to work right away and within a few hours this sweet girl, Luka, was at a vet's office being checked out. Her labs came back so high that the vet said he has never seen them so high on a dog that was still alive. Even though Luka has been through hell and back mom hears that she is such a sweet girl and anyone that comes in contact with her just falls in love with her. When the rescue got her she weighed only 27 pounds.

We normally don't ask our friends to donate but we feel Luka is a very special case. If anyone would like to donate towards Luka's vet bills a Chip In account has been set up for her and is on the right hand side of my blog, donations can also be made by visiting the rescues gift shop or by mailing a check payable to Louisville Weimaraner Rescue, 16810 HWY 62, Charlestown IN 47111. If you want your donations to go for Luka's care, please make a note on your donation. Any donations in excess of her treatment cost will be moved over to help care for other Weims in the rescue.

Luka is now in a foster home, she is gaining weight and learning what it is like to not be starved to death and to actually be loved and cared for.

Okay...so now for the photos. We hope nobody is offended but we just wanted to show you what some people do.

Sweet Luka





Just makes us sick...



How can someone to that to such a sweet girl?



Please feel free to share any of the links in this post to help raise funds for Luka's vet bills.

My Ribbons

Here is a photo of me and dad with my ribbons from the weekend and the best part my toys that I get for each time I qualified.

Day 2 of the Trial

This is one of the best agility days we have ever had. Started out by having a great clean and fast run in Standard. Earned a Q and 18 MACH points (that is the most I have ever earned at one time, actually up until today I only had 11 total points).

Here is my first run of the day



Then we moved over to JWW and guess what.... I got a Q there making this my first ever DOUBLE Q!!!!!! I also earned another 4 MACH points for a total of 22 in one day, can you believe it? I keep telling dad it is the hot dog power. He should feed me nothing but hot dogs all the time.

Bokeh got to come with us today and he did great. He had to stay in his crate while I ran but he got to enjoy 2 peanut butter filled Kongs to make sure he stayed quite and it worked.

Video of my JWW run (dad loves when mom does the squeal at the end of it, BOL)

Trial Day 1

I had an agility trial this weekend. Saturday was so much fun because not only did I have the trial but I got to see my blog pal Frankie again. It was so much fun to see him again and I also got to meet his new brother Ernie. I also got to meet Sarge's mom, she was so nice. I will tell you more about my visit with them in a few days.

Saturday I had my standard run first. I started off pretty good but then dad forgot to tell me to jump a jump so I missed it and went in the wrong end of the tunnel (all dad's fault I tell you). So I didn't get a Q in my standard run but I had fun.



Later that day I had my Jumpers with weaves (JWW) run. Frankie and Ernie were there to cheer me on and they were GREAT cheerleaders because I got a Q! So that makes my 4th leg towards my MXJ title. WHOO HOO plus I was under time by 6 seconds so I earned 6 more MACH points. If you watch the video you have to watch me do my weaves, I was SO slow and I completely stopped at one point to make sure mom was filming me. Bha haa...mom didn't think I was going to Q because I wasn't focused from the start but I had to do good because Frankie and Ernie were cheering me on (thanks boys).

Friends on Friday

Guess what I'm so excited! I found out that I have an agility trial to attend tomorrow and Sunday. Guess where it is being held...in Zanesville, Ohio. Guess who lives in Zanesville....

My pal Frankie and his new brother Ernie. Mom is super excited and so I am because we get to meet Ernie. I love puppies and so does mom. Plus we get to see Frankie and his mom again. They might even get to see me run my agility if we can get the timing correct.

Guess what else....mom also told me that I am going to get to meet Sarge's mom to. How cool is that?

This weekend is going to be so much fun, I get to run agility and hang out with some of my blogville friends...ah life is great.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just wanted to wish all of my friends a Happy Thanksgiving.

Today is also my Grandpa Sunny's birthday. Happy Birthday Grandpa Sunny!

We also thought today would be the perfect day to participate in Sarge's Give Us the Bird event.



We were at the training club the other night and our friend Jura is a bird dog. His mom had a bird to help him run agility and well I had to go check it out and mom thought this would be perfect for Sarge's event. So here you go....I'm giving you the bird Sarge!

Happy Gotcha Day!

Wow, hard to believe that one year ago today I met my brother Bokeh for the first time. Thought I would share the video of our first meeting again since we have some new followers. Sorry it is so dark and not the best it was late at night and dark out when we met him.



and here is a better video of him on Thanksgiving day playing the name game



Happy Gotcha day baby bro!

Training Tuesday

Here is a clip of a new sequence that dad and Bokeh have been working on.

Diva's Birthday Pawty

Hey guys, Bokeh here. Just wanted to tell you about a fun time I had. Mom and dad send me to daycare one day a week to help keep me socialized around other dogs and well...to get some of this energy out of me.

Last week mom actually got the date right and I got to attend Diva's birthday pawty at daycare. It was so much fun.

Arriving at the pawty



This is Diva, the birthday girl, isn't she cute?



She got lots of goodies



This is Carla, she owns Dogs Rule! daycare and is the best. I just love going to daycare and get so excited when we pull in. Carla likes all the tricks I can do and sometimes makes me do tricks without even knowing that I can do it. haha



We got to play with bubbles



and play the blanket game, that was SO much fun. You can tell I'm not a shy guy at daycare at all



Sagira doesn't get to go because she gets scared so mom and dad let her stay home with Starr and Harley

Happy Birthday Diva!

ps. Thank you Carla for letting us use your photos
