Welcome to Mia and Jake's blog. Jake was my first dog who "found" me in December of 2006. Sadly, he passed away July 13, 2009. I loved him dearly and miss him very much. Mia is my weimaraner who was born March 23, 2009. She's everything a weim is supposed to be - intelligent, beautiful, driven, and most of all, versatile. She's been a life changing force for me and I can't wait to see where this journey takes us.

Just out for a run
It was great to be able to take Mia out on Thanksgiving for a nice romp in a big open field. Mia had been cooped up for a little while and needed a chance to get out and stretch her legs. And boy did she have a blast!

I had to sit on a bucket for the tests on Saturday |
Coming back with the first bird |
On her way to the second bird. Mia tried really hard but just couldn't come up with the bird. It was a challenging mark - see the picture below. |

Love the reflection! |

Here I come - is this what you wanted?? |
2nd mark - Almost there... |
Darn water in my ears! |

On the way to the blind for land marks |
Are we going again mamma? |
I'm ready to go...I smell them birds! |
And she's off! |
Woohoo!! |

2nd mark - Mia had to go through water and get out on the other side |
Took some work (and some praying) but I kept my cool and managed to get her to the bird! Phew! |
