Meet Weenie. Her real name is Gretchen, but everyone calls her “Weenie”. Probably because she’s usually hanging around with a character known as “Beans”. Well that, and she’s quite obviously a weenie dog. Weenie is one of our rescues. She’s been with us for about a year and a half now. She was found running down highway 51, she had traffic stopped…lucky dog. When we got her we weren’t really sure what color she was because she was nearly bald, she also had a large ragged gash on her neck. As you can see, she’s fat and sassy and fully furred now….doesn’t she cut a fine figure? Her only real issues are her toenails…she goes berserk if you try to trim them. My vet gave me some Valium to give her before I trim–she should have given me some too! Weenie squawked and hollered and had all the other dogs convinced I was trying to murder her! Part of the problem is her toenails are black and you can’t tell where toenail ends and meat begins…Even when the vet trims them they bleed. I can’t really say that I blame poor Weenie for not liking them cut.
