When our local animal control picks up a Weim, they automatically call me now. Last week my daughter, Ainsley, and I were at home playing when my phone rang. It was one of our local animal control officers. He said he had just been out on a call and he heard a lady hollering and kicking something out of her garage. When he went over there he saw that she was kicking at three 12 week old Weimaraner puppies. The owner of the puppies was walking down the road looking for them. He told the animal control officer that he would like for animal control to take them, because he couldn't sell them and he was tired of them getting out and getting into everyone in the neighborhood's trash. The officer scooped them up and gave me a call. I met them at the pet supplies store I work in. The animal control officers don't have to call me when they get a Weim, but they do. I can never express how much I appreciate them for doing that. Anyway, I walked in the store I work in and there they were...scared to death. My co-workers had given them some food, and they were huddled together. Ainsley and I got them all to the car and took them to our family's farm. We has SO much fun!! The farmers that lease the property just cut the corn, and there were husks and cobs everywhere! Perfect tugging toys for the puppies. They had so much fun, as did we. We played with them for a few hours before we took them to the veterinary clinic that works with Weimaraner Rescue of the South. The only sound we heard on the way to the clinic was the soft breathing of exhausted puppies. Though it was sad for me that someone would throw away these sweet babies, it was nice for me to pick up Weimaraner's that weren't physically or mentally in bad shape. So, these are some of the pictures I took of our day with these sweet babies. I have also edited some of them, and want to make some cards to hand out for Weimaraner Rescue of the South. Every day I am at work, I have a "meet and greet" for Weimaraner Rescue of the South. I'm not sure about the one I want to use. I think I may do all three, lol.
