Slate Came Inside Soaked. The Wood Stove Got His Full Attention.

Snowflakes still cling to the damp, silvery fur of the Weimaraner puppy as he settles down on the wooden step near the old black wood stove. His pale eyes, a soft blue-grey that Weimaraners are known for, look off into the distance with the blissful tiredness of a pup who played hard in the snow. A neat stack of firewood sits beside him, and the winter yard glows white through the opening. A little snow still sits on the ledge beside him, and the flakes keep drifting down past the weathered siding of the house.

Weimaraners have short, single-layer coats, so they don't have a lot of natural protection from cold and wet weather. After snow play, drying a puppy with a towel and giving him a warm, dry place to rest is wise. Keep a safe distance from any heat source, though, since a sleepy dog can drift close to a hot stove without realizing it. A pet-safe barrier or a blanket spot a few feet away is a smart choice.

This is also a breed that thrives on companionship. Weimaraners were bred as hunting partners and often become attached to their people, so a young one will often follow family members from room to room, then crash happily at their feet. A calm routine of play, dry-off, and rest helps a young dog settle after the excitement of a first winter.

We'll call him Slate. Between the cold air and the stove's glow, he has found the exact edge where a puppy can be both snowy and toasty.
