Since we got Zoey we've been walking her in the morning and then either running or walking again in the afternoon (depending on my training schedule). But i noticed that she gets a little restless and bored mid-afternoon, most likely because she is still young, so we've added a lunchtime session to help keep her relaxed and happy. Here she is showing off her new skill:
What you can't see is that i was able to do some sunbathing while she was finishing her workout.
And i'm not talking about the jet lag... although its been pretty bad, certainly my worst return from Oz. I feel awful!!
Anyway.
Clint and I have been shopping for a dog. We knew we wanted a rescue dog that was a decent size, but those were our only requirements. We looked at a pitbull called Casha with 3 legs (i am a sucker for pitbulls) but she didnt get along with cats. There was the bear-dog (part Mastiff) Jasper who was full of energy, but perhaps a bit too large for us. There was also Deuce, the 12-year-old ex-sled dog who was gorgeous but clearly would rather run free than on a leash.
And then came Zoey. Cross-eyed and just out of surgery, Zoey is an adorable husky-retriever who lay depressed in her pen with one of those ridiculous cones on her head. When we took the cone off and took her out for a walk, she perked right up and we knew she was the dog for us! She looks cross-eyed, but really its just a little discolouration in her eyes (her eye isnt red, that was the camera, i just wanted a shot of her goofy look!). What a sweetheart!
The story continues.
As we arrived home with Zoey, Clint's mom pulled up with 2 foster dogs! Their mother is sick so they needed to be away from her to avoid illness themselves. So in one day we went from zero dogs to three.
Anyone want to adopt a puppy? They can be adopted together or separately. They are Bijon/Poodles and are sooo tiny and cute. Jackson and Prince. They are $400 each which covers all their medical costs. They were rescued from an overcrowded reservation.
This is what Prince looks like when he wants to be on your lap while you are trying to write a blog. Let me know if you are looking for a puppy!
