UPDATE: June 2, 2006 - a letter from Heinrich!
Auntie Jen,
How are you? Are Guinness, Jake and Brenna doing well? It's been so long since I said "good bye" to you on that snowy winter day. Mommy told me we are going to come visit you this summer though! I'm very excited at this news and am studying very hard to be a proper gentleman.
I had a tummy infection for a while :( I was a bad boy and drank some stagnant pond water. Mommy told me not to drink it but I didn't listen - - the water smelled so yummy and all these little green algae dots graced the surface so I lapped it up! Mommy was maaaaaaad!
Over the next couple of days I didn't feel so well though and I had to go potty a lot so Mommy took me to see Dr. Kulow. Dr. Kulow felt bad that I was sick but said that I had matured quite a bit and was very well behaved! The medication was yummy, especially when Mom mixed it with Gerber Baby Beef Food. Mom didn't like the medication. She said it stunk and scrunched up her nose when she opened the jar, but I loved it!!
I had a very good Memorial Day weekend. Godmother Laura was in town from Boston and I got to spend the weekend at her cottage on Cayuga Lake! I had a lot of fun! Godmother has seven wooded acres on the Lake so I got to run around and smell all the trees and bushes. The best part was the swimming!! Mommy and I picked out several water toys before going down there and I got to play with them all in the water!! Mom would throw the toys in from the dock and I would swim from the shore to go get them.
Towards the end of our stay I got very upset and started to cry because I couldn't jump off the dock...I was very scared. I wanted to jump off so bad to get the toys but I was too nervous and had to swim in from shore. Mommy says once the water gets warmer she will jump in with me from the dock and I won't be so scared. I hope so!!
I go to daycare three times a week now. Emily at Daycare says I am the only Weim who plays in the kiddie pools outside. Sometimes I get a little overzealous though and "mark" the pools....but I just like playing in the water so much I don't want to share!!
Towards the end of the day I get very tired and miss Mommy so I am happy she comes to pick me up. One time I got so excited to see her I jumped up on a chair, leapt onto the top of a tall filing cabinet and then jumped through the open wall "window" into Mommy's arms. Mommy was very stunned but was happy to see me too.
I just finished my Tracking class. My teacher Bob says I have a "very good nose." I'm not sure what that means but Mommy says it means I find a lot of yucky things very easily. I don't think they are yucky though! I always bring Mom really nice gifts but sometimes I don't think she gets very excited about them. The other day I disappeared into this marsh filled with lots of cattails. I dug and sniffed around and found the most amazing old sneaker. It was awesome! I was very proud and I jumped out of the marsh and brought it to Mommy but she said it was yucky and to "Leave it!" Oh well...one day I'll fish her out something really fantastic!
Froggies are my new interest. I love to listen to them gulp and burp. Sometimes I stand and point on the edge of the swap where they sit. I listen long and hard to their chatter but then I get real scared after a few minutes and I run away and yelp!! Mommy thinks this is really funny and I don't know why because I think these frogs might be dangerous! I haven't seen one yet but judging by their noises they must be HUGE!!
Everything else is going good. I saw these really huge dogs the other day. Mommy insists they aren't dogs though and calls them "horses." I'm not sure what they are but they're reeeaaallll big!!! Bigger than George the Great Dane at daycare!!! I ran up to one of the horses and smelled his feet. He smelled strange. Then I started barking and barking and barking. The horse kept walking on the trail though and ignored me. Mommy told me not to go near them anymore. Oh well...I think they're creepy anyway.
Well I'm very tired and I am going to go lay out on the balcony. If Mom isn't looking I am going to bury my nose in the Impatient plants. I think this is a lot of fun...I love getting dirt on my face!! Shhhh....don't tell though!
I hope to see you soon this summer!
Heinrich XOXO

MAGGIE & CHARLIE - WE HAVE A NEW HOME TOGETHER!
Hi my name is MAGGIE! And I have the PURPLE COLLAR!
- My NEW name is SIERRA!
Hi my name is CHARLIE! And I have the RED COLLAR!
They are quite bonded to each other. He is 
more reliant on her than her to him. She is more dominant and independent.
We were hoping to have Charlie and Maggie stay together, and they did!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP! PLEASE DONATE TO NYSWR TO HELP US CONTINUE OUR WORK FINDING WEIMS IN NEED FOREVER HOMES! (SEE OUR FUNDRAISER PAGE TO DONATE ON-LINE!)
Berlyn is a 5 year old female Weim 
Mom says I should write you and let you know how happy I am and I should be added to your success stories page....because I am a success. Because of you and my new mom I can live my last years loved, happy(most of the time) and well taken care of. You see, I will be 11 yrs old on Valentine's Day and because the two of you cared so much, you kept me from being put down. For anyone who doesn't know my story, my master became a bachelor again and he left me at the kennel every weekend. I was very unhappy, skinny and felt so lonely. He gave you only a few days to find me a home or he was going to have me put down. You contacted my new mom, Debi. She and another volunteer tranported me from Manhattan NY to Southport NY. I met my new 9 yr old brother, Cosmo and it was love at first site. I now get to run around in a big yard and I have grass under my feet instead of concrete sidewalks. I play with my brother and we do have our little tifts, but I know he loves me. I even get to sleep with my mom(I wormed my way onto the bed). Oh, and I have kids to play with. I love kids. I get fed twice a day and get treats...what more could a dog ask for? 
So, thank you Jen for helping find my new forever home. I hope all the other weims that you help have it as good as me. I have attached a before pic of me and an after. You can see how happy I am. Thank You Lily _______________________________________________
