Gender-Based Assumptions About My Dog (UPDATED)
My dog and I recently celebrated our eighth adopt-a-versary. Since I also treat that day as her birthday, and the vet estimated that she was about two years old when I got her, that means that last month was her tenth birthday. She has been recovering from knee surgery since early June, so it was a very low-key celebration. I do plan on doing a bit more to celebrate when she’s off restricted duty.
She likes to sleep a lot anyway, so her “light duty” assignment works out okay most of the time.
Happy Birthday to Z

She wants to share the toy with May, but I guess she just lacks the muscle memory to let go of it once she’s got it.

She’s got some epic moves, and can corner like nobody’s business.
Fun Things You Find When Clearing Out Your Hard Drive
This was taken on June 15, 2007, the day after I brought Zeta home for the very first time. Note the crummy apartment with a foot locker for a coffee table, as well as my early attempt to buy her love with a Kong.
I think she was still trying to decide if she liked me or not. She figured it out eventually.
