Weimaraner Wednesday

We went to the training club the other night and our friend Scarlet was there with her mom Michele. Funny thing is both Scarlet and Starr had on the same Dublin Dog collars (and no it wasn't planned, haha).

Mom, Starr, Scarlet and Michele (L to R)

Starr telling everyone what she thinks about having her photo taken

Scarlet looks like she is cracking up over something really funny in this one

Trying to get 2 Weims to sit still long enough to take a photo = moving Weims, nubs and blurry photos :)

I am one tired girl

Phew...we have been SO busy lately. I can't wait to tell you all about everything we have been out doing but first I must take a nap.

ps. Will catch up on all your blogs soon I promise

Life's Abudance

We have some friends (Rebecca and Virgil - they took the photo at the top of my blog) that are selling a new line of products. They asked if anyone had a blog and would be willing to do a review so of course mom offered to have us do a review. Rebecca was super nice and asked what we would like to try. Since mom and dad do so much training with us we thought the training treats would be a perfect choice.

Rebecca sent us a package of Life's Abundance Tasty Rewards and a DVD on Dog Food.

We sat down as a family first to watch the DVD. It wasn't super long and boring, we actually learned a few things about how to read the package labels on dog food and what some of the products terms are changed to. (Starr took a nap during the DVD but we let her since she is a senior and likes to sleep all the time).

After we watched the DVD mom wanted to see if I would pose for a cute photo with the yummy treats before we ate them all.

All of us were anxious to try these new treats out. The treats are made with New Zealand Lamb and Chicken. We found that they are great for all sizes. They have a nice texture to them that makes them easy to break into smaller pieces. Even my small blog friends could eat these because they are not huge chucks which is what you want for training (or so mom says). Mom thought one interesting fact that Rebecca pointed out to her was that during an agility trial if you feed two hot dogs to a dog who is about 15 pounds that is equivalent of a person eating TWENTY hot dogs a day. That is a lot of salt intake and guess my momster never really thought of it that way and will be switching up my treats at trials (no more hot dog power for me).

So...in all we really enjoyed these treats. I was very anxious to get another and sometimes I am not that eager to eat so dad decided after we all had a few treats to put the rest up and save them for my agility trial coming up as a special treat since I really seem to like these Tasty Rewards. Boy...I can't wait for the trial to get here now so I can have some more. These are available to be shipped right to your home and if you have them auto filled you get an even bigger savings.

WTTE FOX 28 - Good Day Columbus - WEDNESDAY: Wag Fest Part 1

Check out my friend Bella (Bokeh's relative). She was on the news to promote Wagfest (which we will be going to on Saturday). We hope our friends Frankie and Ernie can make it to the event to, we miss them and havne't seen them since Pet Expo. 

Weimaraner Wednesday

I overheard mom telling the president of her rescue that WE would take in one of the three 15 week old Weim puppies coming in. Oh boy...Starr sure is going to be mad if this works out. Mom isn't holding her breath because a lot of times people back out. But mom said she has "puppy fever" and what better way to cure it than to foster a puppy until it finds a new furever home? Shhh...don't tell Starr a puppy might be coming in.

Happy Tuesday!

Photos from the State Fair

Bokeh and I performed at the Ohio State Fair. There was a professional photographer there taking photos for a math book and we gave permission to have our photos take. As a thank you the super nice photographer sent us a few of the photos to share.

We must credit all photos to: Image © Holly Hildreth/McGraw-Hill Companies 2012

Don't I look cute?

Mom loves this one, she doesn't have many agility pictures of me

Thank you again to Holly Hildreth/McGraw-Hill Companies for allowing us to share the photos. :)

Thank you to Mr. Marshall Smith for these great photos. :) These are from the July 4th Skyhoundz event in Dublin, Ohio.

This was my first disc dog event and he got a photo of me and dad

Here are the ones he took of Bokeh

Want to play Tug?

This is Bokeh's favorite game

Want to come play with me?

Playing around in the back yard

There were some cats next door. Starr and I had to go get a closer look.

Starr on point

Mom had to laugh at this photo. Not sure if it was windy or what but look how big her ears look.

Trying to get a better look from on top of the deck

Starr and I got new collars

Mom was the high bidder of these beautiful collars made by Coley's Collars. If you check out her website and make a purchase please let her know Louisville Weimaraner Rescue sent you. She was so nice and donated several collars to our past Weim and Cheese event.

and here is Starr in her new collar

Demo for the Kids

Last Friday while we were on vacation Bokeh was invited to do a demo for some of the inner city kids at the Rosemount Center. Most of the kids there only know about dog fighting and leaving dogs chained up. They want to change their opinion and show the kids that you can really form a bond and train your dogs.

Bokeh and dad went first

Then out came the big guns, Mr. Matt with Bazooka and Bella.

This is Bazooka, gotta check out her complete back flip

and Bella

We received a very kind email telling us how much the kids loved having the dogs out there.

While we were on vacation

While mom was on vacation last week. We had to take Grandma back to her place. These are a few of the things we saw while at Lake Erie.

There were also cute horses around to

I got to help mom open her birthday presents to

She said I was a great helper. :)

Happy 900th Post

WOW...this is my 900th post.

Thought I should put up a cute photo of me.

Begging

Dad can we please have a bite of your sammich?

Silly Blast

Yesterday I told you that I would show you Mr. David's dog, Blast, being silly. While Mr. David is teaching class his dog blast is putting on his own show in he back ground. Blast is so silly and was cracking mom up.

New Class

So this session at my training club I am in Level 6 now and they have Mr. David Hirsch as the instructor. This class is set up different than the way the others run. Mr. David has a course built for us and we have to run it and he gives the handles advice on how to run it better. Monday night mom got to with us since mom was on vacation this past week. She took some video. This is my first run:

This is my second run:

This class is a lot of fun. Check back tomorrow to see what Mr. David's dog does during class, it will be sure to make you BOL.

Manners Minder

The humans purchased us a new toy, it is called the "Manners Minder". It is super cool. Whenever we touch this red thing it dispenses a treat for us. Here is a photo of Bokeh waiting for the next treat to come out.

"Hey mom, you can hit that button anytime now, I'm waiting..."

Ohio State Fair part 2

Our frisbee club wasn't performing at the fair but he talked our other club into letting Bokeh show some of his disc dog stuff in between set up of the equipment. Bokeh didn't do that great but dad's ankle was sore and dad was too close to all the equipment to really show off what Bokeh can do. But everyone seemed to love Bokeh anyway. Bokeh had so much fun at the fair, he wanted EVERYONE to pet him. He is a leaner to, he has to lean up against everyone so they can really get a good petting in. Mom said she thinks we could have sold Bokeh about 100 times on Saturday. BOL

There was also a professional photographer there taking pictures for a math book that will be put out in 2015. How cool would it be if Bokeh or I were in a math book? BOL
