Bad hair day

This is what happens when you look in the mirror and see a cat instead. EEK! It's hair raising.

The longest tongue ever!

This is my new neighbor buddy, Oliver. I love to visit him! Thanks for being in photos with me, Oliver!

Hola, loco perros!

I had a crazy weekend. I climbed a tree. I fell out of a tree, but was saved by my mom just in time. She pulled out some of my hair though. No worries. You cannot tell. She bled a little too. Oh well. Now, she knows how acrobatic I truly am.

I was in a lot of photos with my neighbor, Oliver. He is an aspiring dental hygienist and a very cute one at that. He likes to lick my gums and my tongue. Photographs to follow. Better to say "photographs" than pictures because some humans would think I was referring to "pitchers" instead. Those that hold liquid. I don't mean to confuse.

I went on a walk with my buddy Pepper and my human grandpa in the wee hours of the morning. We chased a pretty black and white kitty too. I can run so fast! The pretty kitty sprayed Pepper and I in the face and that pretty kitty turned out to be pretty stinky. We rolled around in the field, but it didn't help. Lucky for me, my mom packs my shampoo and conditioner whenever we go to the farm now. She is getting so smart! I had to have another bath at the farm in the tall stainless sink that makes a lot of noise under my toenails. I hate that noise! Then I got to hide in my kennel at the farm.

That's all.

p.s. I also ran in some tall grass and snoozed on my mom on the drive back home. Yay.

hello

Hi,
I'm still here. Don't feel bad. I'm not snubbing you. I've just been busy.
Love, Z

Best friends

Toys that squeak are the best.

yum!

I thought it was spring

We even planted pansy's and a succulent, but now it is snowing.

Sweet sorrow

Today, my friend Moby left me. He's been at our house for several weeks and I miss him. It was nice having a buddy to hang out with and go on walks with too. Bye, Moby.

Tonight, my mom decided to carve my silhouette out of linoleum. I think she is procrastinating doing real work but don't I look cute?

We have a guest this week!

This week we have a house guest named Moby. He is a briard and my cousin from Minnesota. I prefer tennis balls and he prefers a big ball with a handle on it.

Tongue anyone?

Is spring here?

There's a spring in my step, at least.

Dog park friends

Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.

Take naps.

Stretch before rising.

Run, romp and play daily.

Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.

On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.

When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

Be loyal.

Never pretend to be something you're not.

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.

Enjoy every moment of every day!

SNOW!

Possum killer? That I am not.

Today, I pulled a muy gordo (very fat) possum out from under our front stoop. It was big and warm with huge teeth, but it didn't move. I don't know why it would be warm if it were dead. Makes no sense to me. When I came back later, it was gone. So I will resume my watch, sitting on our back step, waiting for it. My nose will find it again. I just know it.

Happy holidays, late...

The holidays were exhausting! I hope you holidays were great like mine were.
