Big Day!

Today was another big day for Heidi... she doesn't know it yet, but it was.
We submitted her bio to LWR for posting online.
Hopefully they will love it, and someone out there will love her.
Thought this would be a good place to put a few more tid-bits about her... since those reading this may just be interested in adopting her.

- Heidi hates pills... she hates all medicine. Who doesn't. A few tricks here and there are very helpful, and we have a large bag full of them.
- She really likes the kids and JRT next door... we feel she would do just fine with small dogs and kids. As her bio states, ideally she is best in a home with kids that are old enough to understand that she has had a rough past, and things like a quickly raised hand or yelling will really scare her. The mill she came from had mostly small dogs in it, including many JRTs, so she has been exposed to them for a long time, hence her love affair with the neighbor dog.
- She has tried to chase 2 bunnies while on walks, so small pets and cats may not be ideal for her.
- Two blocks is a good walk in her book - she takes her time and really enjoys them. Her hips and back show a bit of wear from all the weight she has carried over the years, so she doesnt do much running. Stairs are new to her, but she has them down pretty well... in sort of the ugly duckling climbing a hill of loose stones sort of way!
- Our 11 month old Weim pup has really helped her learn what toys and playing are all about. They romp around in the house and yard quite well... although the sessions are short lived, she really does seem to love playing with other dogs. This is why in her bio we said she would be best in a home with other dogs. They would also provide her a great role model on how to be a pet, something she has not had the joy of doing in her lifetime.
- Her health conditions are all pretty well on their way to under control. We are still awaiting word on the ringworm tests, and the heart murmur is improved, but not yet gone. Hopefully our next vet visit will yield more positive results. She is a real trooper.

I hope you will consider Heidi for your home. She has had a rough life, and it shows on her. Despite what people have done to her, she has a wonderful personality and she just loves to snuggle up to you. She will make a fantastic pet for the right family... maybe for your family.

Oh... while we are in the Toledo area... we are certainly willing to travel to help her find the perfect home. If you are interested, please contact LWR and let them know you want to consider making a Weimaraner a part of your life!
