He's never gotten to the flip in the air. Could be he's too concerned with Aife stealing a miss. I had some anticipatory sadness about our aging rates the other day... I've had great and notorious dogs but this boy is really special.

Army dog Chips gets PDSA Dickin medal for bravery during invasion of Sicily
Attachment 62949 Quote:
Chips landed on a beach in Sicily with his handler, Private John Rowell, before charging the machine gun post. Quote:
Chips’s medal was accepted by John Wren from New York, whose family donated him to the war effort, and Ayron, a military working dog. Quote:
PDSA Dickin Medal. Please take a few minutes to read the Roll of Honour. |

To be fair, Pete went along as well.

I used to have a Weimie. Very intelligent but clumsy dog. His name is Toby. His greatest claim to fame is that he is a great escape artist. He can open doors, unlatch dog crates, slip leashes and harnesses and even got through (not under or over mind you) my brand new "dog proof" double-layered fence within one hour. And he also had quite an affinity for very fresh chicken, courtesy of my neighbor's chicken flock.
I really was outmatched by the Weim. He was too intelligent and too active for my family, but he was a rescue and no one was able to truly handle his needs, so he stayed. It was a daily challenge to keep him occupied and exercised yet under control. My ex has him now. Best of luck to her with that one! I wish I had a decent picture of him to share. I don't know how to post a picture from the new version of dropbox, but here is a link to a pic of Toby and Bongo. |
Sometimes a difficult dog is its own reward. I loved my hound Willy, but he could be a real asshole a loyal asshole but still an asshole.
|
Yeah. Pilau was an awesome dog - but he was a nightmare to walk - a true asshole out side the house :P
Carrot's an easy dog to walk, but he can be very hard work in other ways. He is the most contrary hound at times. Right now he is snoozing on my bed. All four paws in the air. |

As a kid, we had a Weimaraner. His name was Apollo. I spent a lot of time reading as a kid, I thought that would be a cool name. As for the energy level of the animal, all these stories point in the same, right direction. Strong, enthusiastic, unsatisfied to be at rest, Apollo once escaped from the basement through, "not over or under", the basement window. As far as we can tell, he just just jumped through the window and went on to visit the neighborhood.
He was fast too. The only way we could recover him was for me to be in the back seat of our little Fiat 125 as my Dad drove through the neighborhood. When we saw him, Dad slowed down and I opened the door and called him. The dog would lope over to the car, leap in the backseat, and Dad drove us home. We'd have to do this when he pulled up that big corkscrew stake you augered into the ground. That dog loved our home, he came back to it so many times... Just to be have another chance to leave again. Great dog, should come with disclaimer "Don't fence me in". |
Go on, it's worth a couple of minutes of your time.

for the win
