Slate Was Watching the Street When the Blinds Closed in Around Her

AI imageweimaranerwindow blindscaught in the act

A silver-gray Weimaraner stands at the window with bent white blind slats looping around her head and neck. Her pale amber eyes are wide, and her soft ears are tangled up with the plastic strips. Behind her, a bench, a laundry basket, a pair of shoes and a rope toy are scattered across the floor. She froze when the blinds started to bend, and now she is waiting for help.

Weimaraners are athletic, intelligent dogs with sleek silver coats, bred in Germany for hunting. They are loyal, energetic and very attached to their families, and they often follow their people from room to room. They need a lot of exercise and company, and a bored Weimaraner can become destructive. Daily runs, scent games and training sessions help use up all that energy.

Blinds with long cords can be a danger for pets and children alike, so it is wise to keep cords short and out of reach. If a dog becomes tangled, stay calm, untangle slowly and check for scratches. Call your vet if she seems hurt.

She holds still as a statue, hoping someone will come to the rescue. We might call her Slate, and Slate has certainly learned something about window watching. Weimaraners are known to be sensitive, so a gentle voice and a soft towel for a nuzzle will mend the mood quickly. The blinds, meanwhile, will probably need replacing.
