Zoe's Life and Loves

This is the blog of Zoe,a black and tan miniature dachshund. She began her life with a family who surrendered her to the SPCA where I got her soon before her 2nd birthday. She has been a perfect pet since :).

Photo Update

Here's some pictures from my birthday. I love my Bobo toy!

Who do you think is bigger?



I played with Bobo in almost every room of the house when I got him!






I also forgot to write that last week was my meetup with some other local dachshunds! We get together once a month to play, sniff, bark, you know, the norm.

Here's me and mommy.



Here's me and some other doggies.



Hiking is so much fun!

Today some of my doggie friends and I got together to hike again. This time we did the whole trail, and then even some more (I think Mommy and her friends got lost and made us go further!) We had more hills than I remember ever doing and more rocks and water to cross. Now you see, I am not a big fan of the wet stuff but I am getting a little better. I don't mind my feetsies getting wet like I used to. Mommy was so proud of me for having so much energy! I was the smallest dog by far but I led the way the whole time! Go Me!!!! There were two Australian Cattle Dogs, a Beagle, and a Pug/Boston Terrier mix with me doing the hike. I hope I get to hike again with them next month!

Mommy forgot her camera so no pictures to add today! Sorry!

My birthday weekend

Well, Mommy says I am now legal! I don't know what that means but I heard her blab something about me being 21 in human years now and only 3 in doggie years. Friday was my birthday and I had a great surprise! Grandma and Grandpa came to visit! I stayed with them for a week in June when Mommy and Daddy were on vacation and Grandpa and I really bonded. He took me to work with him and played with me and spent tons of time with me. I slept snuggled close to Grandma and love her a lot too. So, imagine my surprise when I see them at the door of my house! I was so excited I tinkled 5 times! Daddy had to pick me up and put me outside to go potty but I kept trying to go back and say hi to them. Eventually Daddy held my bum down until I went potty and then let me back inside. I have never peed that much out of excitement before. Once I got back inside to see them, I got tons of kisses, licking, and belly rubs in! Mommy also gave me my first bully stick. She was telling Grandma and Grandpa that it is bull penis. I don't think they were impressed, but boy did I like it! I also got a new toy which I have now fallen in love with. Mommy calls it Bobo and I have seen him in a Petsmart commercial before. Bobo is about the same length as I am. I like to drag him around the house, play with his squeaker, and snuggle with him when I sleep.


Then, to continue my birthday celebration, tonight, we went to my favorite restaurant! It is the same place I went for my Gotcha Day but this time, my friend Elmo came too! He is a deaf dachshund puppy who is part of our local meetup group. Mommy had some other friends come too. I had a lot of fun walking back and forth on everyone's laps!

Overall, it was a good birthday!
