Please note that there are three videos. Once you see the first, come back to this page to see the other two.
Zoe in combat with a palm leaf in her new domain. It is accessible from the house, but has gates at two ends, a wall on one side and the house on the other. I put a little house in it with a fluffy rug and put sod and grass in the planter between the palms and pots. It is “her” place. The cats come to visit, but she is boss even though they are five times her size. The dogs come visit by sticking their noses through the vertical bars in the gate. It’s like she is holding court. In this video, however, she is pursuing her favorite activity: declaring war on plants.
Another new surprise for Zoe today was that I poured a little milk on her kibble to soften it up. As you can see in this video, her enthusiasm over this new development was extreme. The cats, who had been fed before this, looked on with such great interest that I went out and poured milk over their, kibble, too. They set upon it immediately, but I was too slow in closing the door and they were soon joined by a visitor.Click on these links to see the videos:
Such fun to explore!

Glald I came back to see the other 2 videos — she sure likes that kibble and milk combination!

But I don’t think the milk was good for her.

Oh, dear — maybe too much of a good thing?

I’m now trying oat milk. She likes it. Let’s see the result. Just can’t feed her dry old puppy chow, even though the vet says it has more nutritional value. Life is not made on nutrition alone.

Zoe is precious! How old is she? We now have an Australian Labradoodle named Gracie. She is the first smaller dog that I have ever had. Actually, she is considered medium—only weighs 32 lbs. (I would send you a picture, but don’t know how to do it on your blog.) She will be three in April. My last two dogs were 85-pound Akitas! We are too old to have the large dogs any longer.

She weighs just under 2 pounds. Tiny. Your comment just says “anonymous.” Curious about who you are. I need to look up labradoodles. They sound darling.

OMG I looked up Labradoodles on Google. They are adorable. Is she tan or black? I think Zoe will remain tiny but not as tiny as she is now at 2 lbs. It is likely that she has some Chihuahua in her but her face is like a tiny golden retriever..

Yes. She sort of crept in and took over. There are 4 earlier reports on her as well.

That isn’t her meal. It is theirs!!! The minute I served it to them, she came scooting out the door to join them. She had already eaten most of her own meal inside.

But it is such a relief that both the two bigger dogs and two bigger cats are all accepting her and don’t see her as prey. She actually chases the cats but dining together seems to have helped. They are pretty laid back around her. They used to run. Hard accepting a new kid into the family.
