Brooks is a 10 month old coonhound mix from the West Suburban Humane Society in Downers Grove, IL. He loves other dogs SO MUCH that when he pulled away on a walk and got lost, he decided to hang out with a pack of coyotes. He is happy to be “home,” because coyotes don’t have tennis balls! He knows basic obedience, walks well on a leash, and would love to live with another playful pooch.

Suitcase snacker
We had a teacher staying with us from France for 10 days. One day, Jerry the Weim headbutted our guest’s door open and ripped everything out of his suitcase. Jerry ate an entire bag of dried fruits and nuts, ripped labels off of our friend’s newly purchased spices, and threw clothes all over the room.
Jerry the Weim then proceeded to eat our daughter’s 20 pieces of Halloween candy that she kept as her favorite. He found those in her closed closet.
The joy of a Weimaraner!!
pups protest their bath-time
“We locked ourselves in the bathroom to get out of taking a bath. Mommy spent almost an hour trying to break the door down with various tools. When she finally got the door open, you can bet your bottoms we still had to take a bath.”
Cone-of-Shame
Vinny kept taking off his bite collar so we had to find another solution, hence the lock.
Woofy Gone Wild
Woofy went on a neighborhood sprint/chase after a squirrel. Right thru the invisible fence. She chased the fluffy tailed beast around the block (which is actually a circle) with my daughter trailing her and commanding her to stop! After Woofy lost scent she made her way home, but only after stopping and doing her dirty business in the neighbors immaculate yard. UGH!
No Lifeguard On Duty
I escape from home and go swimming in our neighbors pool. I am a jerk
no harness left unharmed
Oscar is usually the chillest pup ever but if we go out without him when he expected to come along, his retaliation is to munch up the plastic latch on his harness. we try to keep it out of reach but i forgot this time. This is the 3rd one in 2 months! he is so very much NOT sorry about it either!!
The sound of velcro terrifies me
This is Mica and she’s terrified of the sound velcro makes. Whenever she hears it, she runs away. haha
I control the power!
Just after Mommy adopted me, she found out my favorite trick was rolling down the window (And he’ll keep his paw on it so I can’t roll it back up). It’s a cute trick, except when we’re on the interstate. So, Mommy has thwarted my efforts by harnessing me in the van and unhooking the power window switch in the door.
Troublemakers from Korea
My mommy has to buy a crate for my little brother because he’s an escape artist. She comes home to him barking at the front door and the baby crying next door because of his barking. I’m no angel either. I like to bully my brother for his food and water and I love hoarding his bones too. But she still loves us though.
Love,
Scruffy and Cheonsa. (Doggy disturbance in Korea.)
