A Silver Weimaraner Sat Down in the Middle of the Wrapping Paper

AI imageweimaranerwrapping paperliving room

Brown wrapping paper surrounds the dog like a crunchy nest. A silver-grey Weimaraner named Storm sits in the middle of it, his ears pulled back and his amber eyes turned toward the camera with a sheepish look. Torn paper and cardboard tubes lie across the floor, and a basket and a couple of shoes stand along the wall. The room looks like the morning after a very enthusiastic holiday.

Weimaraners are tall, graceful dogs with an elegant silver coat and an energetic, curious nature. They are very attached to their families and like to be included in everything, including gift wrapping. Crinkly paper makes exciting noises and tears with a satisfying sound. A Weimaraner who is under-exercised may find a roll of paper the perfect project. Wrapping paper looks soft, but a dog that has been shut indoors on a rainy day can turn it into a full-blown project.

Wrapping paper, ribbon and tape are best kept away from pets. Ribbon and string can cause serious problems if swallowed, and tape can stick to fur and skin. Small pieces of paper are usually not dangerous, but if your dog eats a lot or seems unwell, call your vet. Long walks and training games can help use up the energy that leads to mischief.

Storm sits in his paper nest looking soft and apologetic. If wrapping paper could talk, it would probably say it had a very exciting afternoon.
