About Miss Simone! She stole our hears the day we picked her up. It took about 45 minutes for Victoria to say "Mommy, I LOVE Simone, can we keep her?" Rob was convinced not too long after and shockingly I was the hold out. I was hesitant to get attached as the last 6 months had been pretty hard with losing Jade to heart failure and then Nena to bloat. But Simone could melt the heart of even the most icy! She was dropped off to a shelter in Lancaster County PA Friday Memorial Weekend. 13 1/2 years old, she was left by the people who had her since she was an 8 week old puppy. The paperwork stated that she was having frequent accidents. The vet she was taken to prescribed Proin. They filled the prescription and dropped her at the shelter. The shelter contacted TSWR and TSWR posted for a foster asap. As soon as I read the post, before I even spoke to Rob about it, I volunteered us. The story broke my heart and I couldn't imagine the stress Simone was going through being in that shelter. Thankfully, Eva another volunteer was able to pick her up and keep her overnight. Rob, Victoria and I made the trip to Eva's in PA to meet our "temporary" family member.
Simone is one of the smallest, prettiest Weimaraners I have ever seen. She is so BEAUTIFUL. She is polite, full of energy and a snuggle bug. She curled up with me on the sofa the 1st night she spent with us. I should have known then she was staying for good. Any dog that can find her spot in a home with 3 other large dogs and an unreserved 6 year old is a keeper! She is in numerical age 13 1/2 but in action and spunk she's about 7. She doesn't do the old lady trot she runs and plays and is so zippy. She is so loving. When you give her a hug, she leans into it, it amazes me. Everyone that's met her is amazed at her beauty, age and just thinks she's the sweetest girl ever.
Since we've had her she has been on Proin. Hasn't had a single accident. She has been left in the house up to 8 hours without an issue at all. She can also go through the night without needing to be let out. Every time I look at her I wonder how her family could have given her up, let alone not even trying to see if the Proin helped. But then I think, well, if they hadn't we wouldn't have had the chance to be the new family for this amazing girl who we love with all our hearts. When you hear "Old Weims are the Best!" it's not an exaggeration.
Sincerely, Monica, Rob, Victoria, Suede, Slate, Joy & Simone Negron
