This brilliant article was sent to me by my friend Laurie. You may not be able to read it unless you subscribe to the NY Times, but if you can read it and have been reading about my puppy Zoe’s recent behavior, you’ll see it describes her to a “T.”
I had more naughty photos, but WP thought it was appropriate to erase my entire blog after a half hour’s work collecting the photos, so I had to start all over again. Is anyone else having problems like this? I was updating and saving… then all vanished.

Awww..Zoe, so micheveous. She does have lots of energy 🐕 😍

Yes. Intermittently. Without any reason. I always figure it has something to do with a wi-fi glitch — from which WP should be able to easily recover, but their entire format is so hinky and unstable, they never recover from anything.
Zoe’s just being a puppy. At least she is a SMALL puppy. Big ones can do that much damage on steroids!

Aww, what a naughty imp she is. 🥰

Zoe’s life force is replacing things (now that’s a euphemism for you.) She’s a little doll, even if a bit naughty.

The moment I update anything, whatever I knew to rely on before, just vanishes. (Though sometimes I’ve just walked away.) The one good thing I can count on? Each day is a new one. My motto? “Jees! NOW what?!” (Or sometimes: “Jees! NOW what have I done?”) The questions may be clear, the answers hardly ever. And NOW is all I’ve got. BTW I may soon be living on a boat.

I read theTimes article, and what I cam away with is that you with Zoe, and us with Max, have a pair of juvenile delinquents on our hands.

Looks like Zoe is settling in, Judy. I have heard that 8 months old puppies are a real challenge for their owners. I certainly found that to be the case.
I haven’t had that glitch yet but I have had plenty of others. Making a comment is particularly troublesome so I don’t do it that often anymore.

She is keeping herself busy and having fun in the process. She is still adorable, and you love her.
