I grew up with the best Weim ever!! My parents had him and his sister and when my brother was born when we went to bed one of them was under his crib and the other was in bed with me. We would wake up and it would be the opposite. One night my mom was up late and heard something, looked in our bedroom and they had gotten up, stretched, and switched places. The male was very tolerant, my brother would pull himself up on the dog, pull his ears, crawl all over him and he wouldn't move. I had a nightmare or something one night, went into my parents room, woke up the next morning on the floor next to their bed with him as my pillow. He didn't move until I got up. I could go on and on with these stories, and your neice will have many as well!!
