More Pictures

Bailey

       I have to say that most (not all) of the pictures & videos that we post here on the blog are taken with our phones... Technology is simply amazing and the quality of pictures you can take with a phone mind boggling. Not only can I take pictures, I can post this entire blog through our iPhone or crackberry as well. Hope you enjoy the photos.....




Today I received another submission for the wingspan contest from Cathy. Cathy sent in a photo of her Weim named Marley. Marley is a gorgeous 3 year old girl. Cathy says she needed to wait until Marley was tired out before even attempting to get this photo! Nice team work!




         I wanted to share this picture with you of my sister's little guy (yeah right) Brutus the Rottweiler. Brutus got dressed up in his festive attire just in time for Christmas.... Just thought I'd share :)

New Techniques & Pictures

Great twist on the wingspan photo - The Festive Weim by Anne!

Great display of techniques utilized here for sure!
The Festive Weim - Squeezed between the leg - technique

    The above pictures were submitted by Anne today so I wanted to get them posted right away simply because they are our favorite "festive" measurements thus far!! Great work Anne! Bob & Billie look like they're having a great time! Well, maybe Bob not so much as he's looking a bit embarrassed to me? Now Billie on the other hand, he just looks like he's having WAY too much fin there! Good stuff!!


The "Wait For Slumber" Technique - Photo by Anne H.


       Anyway, not only did Anne achieve the most festive photos, they have also declared a new technique as well!! I like this technique so much that we've adopted it into the "Weimaraner Wingspan Measurement System" official rule book! This is going to save lots of tugged ears out there! Thanks for sharing that very creative technique with our viewers Anne, there are going to be some Weims out there that should be very thankful for

ingenuity!

Thank You!
 
         All kidding aside, we just wanted to take a second to thank all of our visitors.... This blog was started for fun.. Mostly fun for our family, but it looks like others are out there enjoying it as well... We have visitors from all over the world visiting us - The Ukraine, Australia, South Africa, The UK, all over the USA, and Canada! Thanks so much for stopping by!
 
We started this blog to share our experience of owning rescued Weimaraners in hopes that others out there will follow in our footsteps and open their home to a needy Weim. I think people often think that because a dog was relinquished to a rescue that there is something wrong with that animal... I'm here to say that is NOT always the case and I think our two Weims are living proof that if you show a dog respect, structure, and a loving home......well...... anything is possible.
 
If you have a photo or a story that you'd like to share by all means, please send them to us at sean@seanswatsky.com and we'd be glad to share it here on the blog.

Wingspan Contest Update

     Well, as of this morning we have 4 entries into our "Weimaraner Wingspan Contest" and it appears this contest is going to be a hit! We'd like to personally thank our friends and moderators over at Weimaraner Addict as they run an amazing forum over there. One thing for sure is that you can go there and feel right at home.

Anyway, I'll be posting all the contestants images on the Wingspan Contest page as they come in. While the contest is running I'm going to refrain from posting the actual measurement to keep it a surprise for now! Sorry, you'll have to wait for the lengths of those puppies and remember, no Weimaraners were hurt during the process for the exception of their feeling  :)~

While you Wait for the measurements, here are a few pictures to enjoy. Note, the measurements have been blurred out for their protection.
