I took Snickers to the Frisco Dog Park Tuesday. It was really neat. She got to run around and meet a lot of different kinds of dogs, and I got to meet some interesting dog owners.
Turns out, dog people aren’t nearly as weird as horse people. But that’s a post for a different day.
One lady at the dog park had two Weimereiners. As you may recall, Snicker’s is half Viszla, half Weimer. So I got to visit with this lady and among what I learned from her was this: Weimers do better if you have two rather than one. In fact, they play with each other, instead of requiring constant attention from you!
So I have begun my campaign for another dog.
Peter has even started a dog fund! Of course, when Brad heard, he said “He can use his dog fund to buy a mirror so that Snickers can look at herself because that’s the closest thing we’re getting to two dogs.”
Famous last words.
Yeah, Mom started off with two, spice and the black one, which we later adopted when she realized she couldn’t handle two hyper-hunting dogs with co-dependency issues. Although, having one out of the puppy phase when you get the next would make things easier. Having two puppies at the same time makes training impossible. Kinda like kids… HA! But Purdey is a dream dog, especially when she can hang out with our older dog for most of her companionship needs.
One and done!
