Zoe Helps Mom Swim

16 Replies
I think I showed this one before, but can’t resist. I think her tongue wasn’t out in the last one.

Zoe’s never been outside when I’ve been swimming before, so she kept me company. And did a little gardening at the same time. While we were conversing, I held her for awhile and dipped her in the pool, which seemed not to bother her at all. I then held my hands under her and she swam a couple of strokes to the edge of the pool and pulled herself out. I helped a bit. She was too young before but soon I want to try her for a bit longer distance to be sure she knows how to get out of the pool in an emergency. I don’t leave her out in that area when I’m gone––only when I’m here within eyeshot and she’s with the older dogs. She now sometimes sleeps with them in “their” room as well.

Vying for Mom

Diego hasn’t been getting enough attention since Zoe arrived on the scene,
so he came for a little one-on-one,
whitch prompted some attention for Zoe and Morrie.
before Zoe and Diego demanded equal attention.
But Morrie had a solution to that.
Only two chairs at the table. Instant advantage in communinf with Mom.

Zoe the Despoiler

My little canine daughter is inimitably bold.
She cannot be deterred by a censure or a scold.
When her goal is purloined plastic bags or Yolanda’s mop,
it does no good to tell her that it’s time for her to stop.
She browses for the perfect thing for her to steal,
then if it seems it will not make a satisfying meal,
it might be good for chewing, so she’ll add it to her stash.
Not one of us is equal to her thirty meter dash.
She thrives on such purloining. Can we blame it on her age?
With luck, it’s a preliminary temporary stage!!!

Prompts today are inimitable, little, browse, thrive and daughter. Just like any toys that make their way out of her bed, Zoe was intent on dragging her new mop toy back to her favorite place of repose.

Holy Tearer (For Forgottenman, who requested another Zoe post)

You won’t recognize the object of the tug-of-war between Zoe and me in the first photo, but it is my shirt sleeve. You might, however, recognize the pillow made out of my childhood drapes material that a friend recently gave to me, minus the big chewed hole recently added. Guess how that got there? Zoe has turned into a holy tearer for sure. I guess it is the terrible twos!!!!

If you don’t remember the story of how I came to be gifted the swatch of material that is the exact copy of the drapes in the house I grew up in, click on this link:

Zoe’s Revenge

10 Replies

When last we saw Zoe, she was sulking in her crate because I’d given her a flea bath. She finally supposedly forgave me and came in for a cuddle as I was about to put her out in her secure little outside area while I went to town for an appointment. “If I leave you in the house, will you go outside to pee and poo?” I asked her, and she gave me her best innocent-eyed nod of the head, but when I went into the hall, I saw that she’d already peed in the corner. As I mopped up the puddle with toilet paper and reached for the Clorox, she grabbed the wad of urine-soaked tissue and RAN! Fast. I chased her though the living room, dining room and kitchen and finally had to wedge her mouth open with my fingers to get possession of the tissue, but a small wad remained in her mouth. I forced her mouth open and got it only to have her seize the big wad again and make off again for the bedroom with it. I finally caught up with her halfway to her destination and luckily the phone/camera was nearby. Naughty Girl!!! I finally regained control of the whole stinky mess. I guess I’m not forgiven. I think she’ll go to her outside kennel now.

She Wants To Be Alone!!!!

I gave her a bath to rid her (and me) of her fleas just now and she will not forgive. Can you see the hurt look in her eyes? She has been sulking in her crate ever since. And she rarely if ever goes into this crate!!!!

Zoe positively loves her Levis bed that is beside my desk. And, she loves her toys all around her. If I take one of the toys out and toss it onto the floor, she immediately jumps out of bed and gets it and puts it back in the bed. We could repeat this for five minutes, and every time she would immediately replace it. Best roomie I’ve ever had in that respect.
