Wow. She's gotten big Kristin.
My best friend just got a Wiemeriner (almost certainly spelled wrong) puppy this weekend. Her husband just got rid of his Whippet because it was a "bad dog", and said she was being selfish if she wouldn't let him get his own dog (she has a Chihuahua and a Greyhound). I know they're supposed to be pretty even tempered, but I'm afraid that when he starts to get big fast, they won't have spent cute puppy time on dicipline and he'll go the way of Indy (the whippet).
Since we're sharing pet pictures...dies of cuteness
eta mostly just context
Cute pictures, Kristin! Happy dogs in snow. Bear loves snow, the few times we've had her in snow. She's a sled dog at heart. Except for that not-really-following-directions part.
Archibald Wiggly is an awesome name.
Archibald Wiggly is an awesome name.
Some celebrity should name her child that.
Isn't she getting big? And yeah, the ear is pretty much killer cuteness. I don't think it is ever going up, and I'm good with that.
I love that snow pic. They love it out there right now. Zoe is 7 now, but she acts like Sasha (who is 5 months) in the drifts. It's so fun.
There are (or used to be) many Piggly-Wigglys in rural Minnesota.
I remember getting groceries at "The Pig" as a kid in Beloit, WI.
And walking from the Tulane campus to the Winn-Dixie at St. Charles and Carrollton in college.
Neither of which would qualify as a "bad" neighborhood.
pretty even tempered
In an extremely high-energy and training-and-attention-needing way. I'm frankly worried.
I know they're supposed to be pretty even tempered, but I'm afraid that when he starts to get big fast, they won't have spent cute puppy time on dicipline and he'll go the way of Indy (the whippet).
They're very sweet and very strong willed. You have to put serious training time into weineramers (also almost certainly misspelled) or they sweetly walk all over you. My neighbors has one and it took them two years of concerted, consistant effort to keep it from jumping on people. Yeah, it was just jumping to lick and cuddle, but that's still a large dog for people jumping purposes.
Ugh. That's the downside of all training... the consistency and the concerted effort. Because honestly, sometimes it is cute and you want to acknolwedge and run with the cuteness, not the blatant irritation.
This is why, our dogs get on the bed with us, even if it is irritating at times. Because, sometimes it is cute adn we like it.
