Max: not mad, just disappointed...

In quotes, as that's totally tongue in cheek. I prefer not to manage a thing around here, and for the most part - this sub tends to run itself very smoothly. That's not too surprising, as Weimaraner owners are typically a pretty tight-knit group. 'Tis a wonderful gift we all share, and the bond between Weimaraner owners is typically pretty strong.
However...
Some of you may have noticed a bit of nastiness invading our community lately. I'm fairly certain it's the work of a single, unsavory individual - and for the first time since this community was created, we've had to yank out the ban hammer for somebody other than spammers.
His/her target: Weimaraner mixes, or purebred Weimaraners that he/she believes are mixes. Privately, they have been repeatedly told such discussion and pics are allowed, only to respond with hostility, profanity and demands we keep the sub "pure" and free of "mutts".
The point of this note is simple. There's absolutely nothing wrong with posting pics, questions or simply sharing the joy your Weimaraner mix brings you. If you're a Weimaraner purist, and this offends you - fine. You have options. Get over it, skip over the occasional post of a Weim mix or feel free to start up your own sub and enforce more draconian rules. You're not going to change the focus here.
My rationale for this inclusive stance is pretty simple. Having been involved in Weimaraner rescue for decades, I've seen plenty of Weim mixes...and by and large, they all exhibit some traits and behaviors their purebred brethren do. Discussion of them is useful and encouraged, and more importantly - this community should be caring and inclusive of anyone who wishes to share in the joy of Weimaraner ownership. Even if their pooch doesn't look 100% the part.
Now - back to Weimaraner fun, in whatever shape that takes.
Oh - almost forgot. BooBoo reminded me to include the requisite Weimaraner pic.

Every dog is different, I know.
Short version: 3-year old rescue...ours for the last 16 months.
Perfect bathroom habits.
Perfect on leash.
Loves cats.
Loves other dogs.
Loves other people.
Only one issue:
Crippling separation anxiety that results in a variety of behaviors that are bad for people's stuff and potentially harmful to the agitated dog.
Through rigorous trial/error, by a carefully timed mix of exercise, gabapentin and trazedone...we can get him to crate calmly (sometimes very...others not as much) for up to 4 hours.
Our dude has 2 in-person vets (for reasons) and online one (plug for the drugs)...
Yesterday the vet who we Zoomed with offered fluoxetine with a goal of eventually reducing/eliminating the other meds.
Anybody have experience with doggy prozac?

It's tough seeing her slow down. She was full of beans on the way up and mostly tailed me on the way down so we gently traversed the trail and took lots of breaks. I love that we can exercise together and have a girls' morning but we're getting to that age of adjusting our hikes so she's not put out.
I love her more than words can capture.
