Many of you know we have a big ole sweetheart weimeriener. She is a beautiful dog, and so good tempered. I tell everyone we seem to go for the pretty ones, because she doesn't appear to have the intelligence. When Eddie first began having trouble, I asked if we should try to find her a new home. She's 74 pounds of playful energy, and I was afraid she would unintentionally bump him and knock him down. Eddie said there is a lot to be said for sheer companionship (not quite sure where that places me, but I'll let that be). Well, she does seem intelligent after all, and compassionate too. She lays her head in his lap, or backs up to get her rump scratched. She's never bumped him or caused him any problems. If she hears a loud noise, or any clattering ... she is off, like a shot. Apparently, she's afraid he will fall on her when he takes the occassional tumble, and steers clear. So much for man's best friend!
So, it's quiet and kind of lonely here tonight since I took her today to our groomer's. They have a place in Mannford, kind of country, with boarding facilites. She'll be staying with Russ and Karen for the duration, and be well cared for. She'll have her own "room" and run while vacationing. And Karen says she plays music when she's away. Don't know how Izzy will make it without HGTV, but she'll just have to deal with it. I tell Eddie that Izzy likes HGTV (like I do) ... I don't think he's buying it though.
