Kirk and I saw this incredibly well-behaved dog in a restaurant. She sat upright on this chair for an hour and never moved or begged for food. As far as I could see she never blinked. But, she looked exactly like Zoe would look if she were twice her present size. What do you think? When I remarked on her behavior, her human said that she had not been feeling well. She is a rescue and one of 12 dogs he and his partner have. And 54 cats! I now feel less a martyr to my 3 dogs and two cats. The second shot is of Zoe a couple of weeks ago. The first and third are of her doppelganger. Zoe would have been in the middle of my plate in seconds.

Tami sits on the floor beside me when I eat and the only thing that moves is to follow my fork from my plate to my mouth, then when she knows I am finished she runs to the spot where I might give her leftovers. This morning I was nailing with brads and put the brads in my mouth, she followed every one of those nails, she talks with her eyes. I have a good friend who has a young puppy and she has not been able to teach it anything.. She sounds disappointed, I have made it clear that if she gives up I want that puppy~!

I hope you get the puppy. You have the time to be patient with a frisky one. Zoe is like the problem students who were always my favorites.

Some people have well-trained dogs. I am not one of them. That looks like a mini-dachshund. Is Zoe a dachshund of mix?

She just came in and peed and pooped on the floor…so proud that she held back and didn’t mess up the outside. Learning curve…….

So funny! We’ll sort of… Puppy Girl did that when we left her for a few hours last week. Usually she holds it for 10 hours. She must have saved it up while we were on our walk. Our neighbor came in to check on her and voila, a little treat!

At least I have stone tile floors. Easy to clean up.

But Zoe is just a baby, and that poor dog is not feeling well. Who knows how he behaves when healthy.
