Hello,
I'm Jessica and I would Love to introduce my Roxy. She's a Weimaraner,
a.k.a. Weims, a.k.a. grey ghost, a.k.a. Velcro dog, etc!
What makes my dog special? Gosh where do I begin~ Well.. when I graduated
from high school, they said I could spent my graduation money on anything I
wanted. I could have gotten a lot of fancy things, but my heart was set on
having another dog in the family. My last Lab passed away at the old age of
seventeen, and it just wasn't the same around our home without a dog. When I asked
dad, he said that I could get another if we got a Weimaraner instead of a
Labrador. I was always used to having Labradors in the family, so when I
asked why he wanted the change, he said, "Because Weims don't get fat, they
don't shed like crazy, and their your best friend, not everybody's best
friend like Labs are."
I was a bit worried about the change, but agreed none the less. It took us a
while to find someone who had Weim puppies for sale, because Weimaraners
aren't widely known in America yet. But when I saw this little runt of the
litter look at me with those big blue eyes, I knew that she was the one for
me: and she was worth every penny.
She's just one of the most amazing dogs I've ever seen. She just so smart,
and has now learned over twenty tricks! (These include singing, counting,
dancing, etc.) But sometimes she's a little too smart, for she's learned to
open my bedroom door. She goes everywhere I go, so she's quiet literary my
shadow, and I take her camping, and she makes an excellent fishing buddy. I
can always count on her to pull me to shore when we're swimming. Even though
she's a really big dog I still let her sit on me on the couch, and to this
day she will still sleep under the covers with me.
I still remember the day we decided to breed her, she was such a wonderful
first-time mom. It was funny to watch her get bigger on the belly every day,
until I could finally feel the pups starting to kicking. Though I have to
admit we were both a little scared when she went into labor, I would rub her
stomach as she kept her head wedged under my arm; three hours later I helped
deliver seven beautiful pups (five females, two males). I made sure to find good homes
for all of them, and did everything from shots, tails docked, dew claws
removed, proper nutrition, and of course the papers for each pup, and much
more. I miss them all so much, from their curious sniffing noses, to their
striking baby blue eyes. But we did keep one! My family couldn't resist, and
we named her Gracy. And the ironic thing is, Roxy went into labor on my
birthday (March 31) so she gave me the most wonderful gift I could ever ask for.
So now Roxy's showing her daughter the ropes (but hopefully not the trick of
opening up doors) and I couldn't be happier, and I'm glad I decided to agree
with my old man to get a Weimaraner.
