Easy (and cheap!) puppy teethers

I'm sure someone has had this idea, but since I don't see it posted, I figured I'd share since there are a few other new pups around. :) I picked up a set of 2 "bar towels" at the Dollar Tree for 1$. They're kitchen towel size terry-cloth towels. I cut them into thirds, to make six strips. I tied each end of a strip into a ...

Android App

Does anyone know if someone is developing an Android App for the Weim Addict board? Maybe even an app for any boards that use this particular platform? I sure would love one for my new phone. Posting pics and stuff while on-the-go would be awesome! :D

the MONKEY FIST toy

Maybe this is corny. I make these all the time.
We have a waterfront property with a boat and a couple kayaks so lots of rope tying.
And rope everywhere.

Our work involves rigging so whenever i hear about a new puppy among friends i make these. A big hit.
Mine are free because rigging rope needs to be replaced often, but they can be made cheap. It takes about 3 yards of rope per ...

Dog Bed Pattern anyone??

Hey guys,

Do any of you have any experience with making a good dog bed? My sister recently loaned me her old sewing machine, and I would LOVE to make a HUGE bed for my two rascals to hang out on (in hopes we can re-train Ronix to sleep on the floor. He doesn't like his bed ever since Vienna had an accident on it-we've cleaned and washed it a TON too ...

Got an idea on some Steps or Ladder???

I am not sure if this is where I should post this... but we have a houseboat... it has a swim deck off the back with a nice sturdy ladder for people, but its not really made for dogs. Does anyone have any good ideas for building some kind of removable ladder for a dog? I already have a older raft for Gabbi to use (one of those nice thick blue ones). But by summer, ...

Doggy safe craft paint???

I want to make Ronix his own stocking, and I want to personalize it/decorate it with maybe a paw print of his or two. Does anyone know of any approved paint to do this little craft? Or if I washed his paw off right away will any craft paint do? I just don't want to irritate his paws (it would definitely be a front paw since his back left is still cut ...

Best Weim Bed

Just had this epiphany today and thought I'd share it. You can buy a crib mattress at Walmart for $36. Compare this to the $100s for an orthopedic foam dog bed of similar size. The mattresses are made to repel water and you can get fitted sheets which can be easily laundered. Ikea sells a two pack of jersey sheets for $5. Since the mattress is impermeable it also means no dust mites or fleas ...

Weimaraner serving tray *DONE*

I ordered tiles from cafepress.com. All the "old dogs rule" tiles, several from weimamama's Blue Print Shop, TSWR tile, and few others...12 all together. John has the wood to make the frame and bottom...he damn near cut his finger off cutting it last night :shock: with the table saw.

As things progress I'll post pictures of it. It's going to be very nice.....
