every pet’s Heaven
I find it amazing how dogs react to each other when they meet. On the most part it is a friendly wagging of the tails and sniffing. Once in a while it is an immediate “I love you for life” and off they go to play. I walk a dog named Vaughn who is a male 11 month old Weimaraneir and he has a best friend amongst all the dogs I walk. Sirrus who is a 2 year old White Standard Poodle was rescued from a puppy farm about 6 months ago. These 2 dogs really like most of the dogs they walk with and usually spend their time with me running and playing in a group. But when Sirrus and Vaughn are on the same walk they have eyes for no other. They start in the car after I pick them up and they play so hard the Element rocks and rolls. I am sure pedestrians I pass on the street wonder what is going on in there. When we get out of the car to start our walk they virtually somersault through the woods. All surfaces of their body hits the ground and it is not often a foot. Still being puppies they have no concept of space and they are always banging into me when the whole forest is their oyster but they still don’t realize it. Puppies like to stay close to their person. Sirrus ends the walk abosolutely black with mud. By the time we get back into the car to go home Sirrus collapses on the ground and Vaughn stands over him. They are very much in love. I think it would be great if their owners met so the dogs could have play dates on weekends and even do dog sitting exchanges. Although having them both in the same house could be dangerous once they start somersaulting around.

Hey, great pix! It’s like having a nanny-cam out in the woods. Vaughn, Sirrus must miss you every day. After his play-dates with you and Sheri he is the dirtiest dog ever. We’ve given up trying to keep him and the house clean. Oh well, we all need someone to roll around with once and awhile! Sheri, thanks for the great story.
I love this love story. I tell everyone I meet about the love affair my dog has with an another male dog.
Vaughn looks so funny and HAPPY in the pictures. He always seems to want to be the center of attention at home and at play!
Some days I feel Vaughn has a more active and fulfilling social life then I do…
thanks for all the great stories & pics Sheri…keep them coming

Vaughn and possibly Sirrus will be sad over the next 2 weeks as Vaughn is partially bed riden.
Last night, on a walk with me, Vaughn was attacked by a Burnese Mountain Dog. I didn’t notice the 2 inch gash on is right shoulder until I diffused the fight and walked away from the owner and dog. The incident ended with Vaughn requiring 10 sutures, anti-inflammatories, antibiotics and 2 weeks free of strenuous activities such as running, jumping and swimming. I do not know how that is going to fair out but I have withdrawn Vaughn from his walks with all his friends to avoid any more damage to the area. Have fun all and Vaughn will be back stronger then ever in 2 weeks.
