Time to say goodbye...

Glacier ("G" / G-Dog) -   9/26/1997 -  7/28/2011    R.I.P


        Today is a lonely day my friends and it's difficult to even type this... Yesterday we were forced to make a decision that we never wanted to have to make but it was inevitable. For the past year G's health has deteriorated and the past few weeks there were signs of things really going downhill.

For anyone that knew here growing up knows that she was simply amazing and our lives will never be the same without here. She's been with us longer than all three of our children for crying out loud. It's just too hard to type this all so today I will leave you with this picture from a couple years ago... our happy smiling little girl.

Chillin with our pups (and peeps)!




    Well, I realized that it's only been over 3 months since we posted anything here so I thought I should probably add something?? There are many reasons for my lack of posting but mainly because I've been so busy with my photography and wrapped up in that that this has fallen by the wayside. Even my photography blog has been stagnant and I feel terrible about that!

Like most people living in the Midwest, it's been hot as hell! It was 99 degrees last week, 90% humidity, and a heat index of 115 degrees... and yet Bailey would rather be outside than in side in the air conditioning?? Darby on the other hand, she'd rather be inside on the couch much like myself... I keep reminding myself that in just a few months the snow is gonna fly once again and we'll all be complaining about the cold and crappy weather.

Once in a while I'll bring Bailey in the pool to let her cool off a bit and enjoy in a few laps. This time I thought why not see if she likes the raft? You guessed it, she does as you can see the snapshot above!

Not sure if you remember or not but back in April we posted about us getting chickens right here in Cleveland. We started off with 6 one day old chicks and recently found out that 2 were roosters. We gave the roosters to a local family so we're down to 4 now. Bailey almost ate one when they were chicks but i think she's now desensitized to them from seeing them every day. I wouldn't let her alone with though!! I thought I'd post a picture on how big they are already.

Yep - From This:

To this:
In just 3 1/2 months!!


So how's your summer going so far?  I can't believe how quickly this summer is going and before ya know it, school time!

Bailey the watch dog & Brutus!

  
    So Bailey, as it turns out, is officially our watch dog. She sits by the back window and waits..... and watches... cautiously.... for any slight movement. Then BLAMMO! Commence barking!

In the picture below you can see Bailey resting her nose on the window to the point her nose is crunched up. She'll sit like this for minutes just watching for a bird or better yet, her favorite..... a squirrel!! This dog is a squirrel addict! We also know she is a chicken addict as well.....




   I feel bad that I have not been posting as much lately, but this winter has kicked my butt. And now raising the chickens it's a bit crazy. The good news is that warmer weather is coming, less rain, and the chickens will be out in their coop! Can't wait to get to the beach with the pups soon!!!

We're going to have a special visit this weekend from my sister and she's bringing Brutus the rottie along!! Bailey, Darby, and Glacier have not seen him since he was a pup.... We'll see how it goes!? I'm guessing that they'll be fine since they have met in the past and we all know dogs do not forget! It needs to go well because Lisa is watching the weims for a week when we go to the beach this summer.... As you can see below, Brutus is NOT a puppy any more! You can see more about Brutus on her blog at http://rottenspoiledrottie.blogspot.com/

We're also going to try to get a few nice pictures of Brutus too!

Handmade Dog Treats!

I know this is a Weimaraner blog but I wanted to share a link to my sister's blog she started on her Rottweiler named Brutus.

Anyway, Lisa started making homemade dog treats and we ( Bailey, Darby, and Glacier) taste tested them this weekend. We LOVE THEM!!! We received a shipment to our door and the pups went nutz!! You can visit her blog at http://rottenspoiledrottie.blogspot.com/



      Her product is called "Spoiled Rotten Homemade Dog Treats" and they are available for sale and shipped to your door! Great name by the way, as referenced to her Spoiled Rotten Rottie!! Check out her blog for different flavors (shapes & sizes) that are available. I really like the tiny bones which are perfect for training treats! Everything is designed, baked, cut, and shipped - by her! Support my sis! Seriously though, our dogs love them and you can watch a video of them chompin' away!
