Kim gets to pick out her Valentine's Day present in advance: a Weimaraner puppy. We get to take it home on February 3rd!
|
These pups were eager for attention. View the YouTube video here!
|
Pink hangs back for a second while the others rush Kim.
|
There are eight pups total, with five boys and three girls. We're getting a girl!
|
Pink, purple, & red are the ladies.
|
Pink takes a nibble.
|
Purple & red say hello.
|
Kim picks up purple first. She has "hound marks" on her legs (the hair nearest her paws is a lighter color), but she's a huge chunk of love.
|
Red peeks over the door.
|
Red gets a turn. Warning: we have a cuddler.
|
Hello, there!
|
Pink gives me some kisses while her mom, Roxie, kisses us both.
|
Kim picks up all three girls!
|
Can we take all three?
|
Pink wants back up.
|
Red gets some more time with Kim.
|
Going, going...
|
...nearly gone!
|
Pink's turn!
|
Pink tries to sway Kim's affections with kisses.
|
Red: "Try to resist these puppy eyes!"
|
Pink plays.
|
Pink and red both suck up to Kim...
|
...while purple takes a nap with orange.
|
Pink, red, and one of the boys find a new toy: my camera lens cover. View the YouTube video here!
|
Red: "Take that, pinkie!"
|
Pink makes a jump for it.
|
Red: "I got it! I got it!"
|
More jostling over the lens cover.
|
Red lights up those puppy eyes again...
|
...and gets rewarded with some more cuddle time.
|
Red again.
|
Pink gets another go.
|
What a cutie -- both pink and Kim!
|
Purple is a big, cuddly girl.
|
Purple's pretty relaxed.
|
Say hello, purple!
|
Red: "Whatta 'bout me?!? Don't leave!"
|
Red: "Screw you guys, I'm takin' a nap."
|
Pink is looking sleeeeepy.
|
Red is zonked!
|
So is pink!
|
Kim and I have successfully bored the entire litter back to sleep. We're a really exciting pair.
|
We meet mom and dad, also known as Jerome (yes, named after Jerome Bettis!) and Roxie.
|
Roxie is just beautiful.
|
Kim pets Jerome. That is one strong-looking dog! He's a two-time champion, according to the breeder.
|
Another great shot of Roxie.
|
Roxie gives us the stink eye for trying to take her kids.
|
Jerome, despite how strong and muscular he looks, just wants to get close and be scratched. Great genes! We'll see you guys again around February 3rd, but until then...
|
...time for a pint! :)
