We were kind of thinking on getting another one. The only problem is we can only have 2 dogs in our subdivision,so my DH said: "Will just walk 2 at the time,and no one will never know!!" ha ha ha I thought that was really funny and actually not a bad idea .

They are stunning, and I would love to have them both. So I had to check out Abbie & Astro - so cute!! OMG, they are adorable. Can't wait to hear how it turns out. http://www.aacspca.org/adopt/dogs.php To answer the poll question - I have two. I love the differences in their personalities and quirks. And they each other. But two is my limit to leave room for foster dogs when needed.

But I asked the girl that took them out for me if any other weim owners had come forward, none she said. I noticed that at their listing on the SPCA's available dogs, it says "Experienced Weimaraner people only please", so it sounds like you have a really good chance of getting one, or both!

They are stunning, and I would love to have them both. The volunteers said they have had many applications for both, but have not had one weim owner step forward. So, I guess I get moved up a bit. I would love to take Astro home (the boy, who is HUGE) if I had to choose one. He is larger, perfect romping partner for Hemi. He's 2. But Abbie is 7 months old, and just precious. She's no bigger than about 35lbs. She is sooo small. I would be worried about Hemi's play. But she appeared to give her brother a run for his money today . They came from the same home, different litters, same breeder. The family was being deployed, so there they are. I was talking to hubby, and he wants Astro. I just know he'll fall in love with Abbie too. Fingers crossed please!! They were happy that another weim lover applied as well. They looked at me like I had four heads when I said I wanted to apply for both. Then they saw that I have two. The response went something like... "Oooooh. You already have weims! That's great! Wait, you'd have four? Are you nuts?!?" I replied "Yes." I know it's work, but I am willing to take on that challenge and give two needy weims another great home. Am I nuts...? No..you are perfectly sane Back to top weim2mom Wise Old Weim Joined: 16 Jan 2008 Posts: 1284 Location: Anne Arundel County, MD Fur Kids: Chevy and Hemi, both Weimaraners Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2008 10:08 am    Post subject: Sundown127 wrote: I noticed that at their listing on the SPCA's available dogs, it says "Experienced Weimaraners only please", so it sounds like you have a really good chance of getting one, or both! I hope so. The volunteer that let me play with them made it sound like they rarely let a family have both dogs..? She said that I had to mention that to the front desk, but I had a chance. They are in the same family, and if they can, should remain that way right? I know they probably think it's tons of work, and they are right. However, I am willing to provide a loving and nurturing home for two more. I get the impression that it can't happen. I already have a routine in place. Adding two extra bowls and two extra leashes isn't going to kill me. They will soon adapt as Chevy and Hemi did. They are doing beautifully now. Can you imagine me @ the park or on walks with four?! People are REALLY going to stare now ! Abbie is so very small though. She might be about 35lbs, she looks like a poodle compared to her brother. And Astro is a monster! He's humongous! I know I might be jumping the gun here, but we will rename the pair, and I am not sure what to choose... I want to stick with the 'car' theme, tee hee. Any ideas? I was thinking Viper... or Diesel...?

But I know you can do it, I could do it. If you love these dogs enough, you make it work. You will have your share of scraps; that's a given. Especially as the pups get older and their personalities develop. Sheesh, Gunnar will be three is September and he has changed so much in the last 6 months..his attitude, I mean. He is not as meek anymore. He expresses himself vocally, he never did that. It is so funny to watch the changes in him. Remember it takes time for dogs to adjust to each other. Not days, weeks or even months sometimes. We have had Jake for 1 1/2 years now and the three younger dogs just recently started to accept him into the pack family. My old man was an outcast with them. I am so pleased to see Miss Silkie give him a nuzzle now and then. Keep us posted.

I was thinking Viper... or Diesel...? That would be so cool! If you can handle it, and you know deep in your heart that those two babies need you, then go for it, and I hope that place that they are at will look at the experienced weim part and totally think of you and your family!!! The car theme is so fun! When I first joined this group I had to show my husband Chevy and Hemi....his comment was, how did they get so lucky? I always pick out our dogs names here, and he was totally jealous of your furkids names.... Diesel is cool! We have friends with a yellow lab named Diesel....(jaguar) call him jag for short....lol! names are serious business for dogs!

I wanted 2 when we had Kam, but it just didn't work out that way . Although Kam and Bo wore each other out, the short time we had them both .

Chevy and Hemi are still getting it sorted, but she is ultimately in charge. I was very impressed with the two of them. Abbie is a pistol (maybe I should name her that ). She was tugging all over Astro's ears nipping him every where as she is still young. He's a bit older (2), so he just rolls his eyes and takes it. They were such a lovely pair. I know it's not going to be easy, but obviously this is my calling . We tried to get several other dogs, with no luck before we got Chevy. I saw her, and the rest is history. It takes a special (and somewhat crazy) person to take care of weims, and I feel lucky to be one of those people.
