The Weimaraner Lay Down, and Six Ducklings Settled In Front of Him
The silver-gray Weimaraner lies on a plaid blanket, chin down and amber eyes soft, while in front of him six fuzzy ducklings have lined up in a diagonal row. Each one tucks its feet under and settles into the blanket's weave. Sunlight pours across the room, lighting the ducklings' yellow down like golden dandelions. Nearby, a basket, a potted plant and a pair of slippers keep the room feeling lived-in.
Weimaraners are sleek, athletic dogs once bred to hunt, and their silvery coats make them easy to recognize. They are devoted to their people and often follow them from room to room, which has earned them the nickname Velcro dogs. They need plenty of exercise and company, and a bored Weimaraner can become destructive. Ducklings need special care, including warmth, a safe space and clean water, and any meeting with a dog should be watched closely. A dog's gentle mood can change fast. Your vet is a great source if you plan to raise ducklings alongside other pets.
The scene is a study in calm. The dog is huge by comparison, but his gaze stays steady, with nothing but curiosity. The ducklings look unbothered, resting in their neat line as if the blanket is a private pond. It might be a lazy weekend afternoon, but somebody has taken charge of the peace, and he is wearing a silver coat.
