Day 26-Cookie Dog's Dream Day

Day 26-Cookie Dog's Dream Day

My dog Zoe comes back into the series today. Honestly this dog will do most anything for a "cookie" or something that resembles a cookie. She is a mix between a Chihuahua and a Dachshund (get that picture, she's also black and white-go figure) and tends to gain weigh easily (I think she's just Big Boned :)

Anyway, she is cookie crazy.

Because of her weight issues she was plumping up even on low-cal doggie cookies, so we devised a way to still give her rewards, but keep the calories down.

We bought a different brand of low-cal dog food than the one she gets for meals and those kibbles became cookies! Magic- instant cookie treats.

She doesn't seem to realize they are the same size as dog food-she loves them and is so proud when she "earns" one. I never said she was a genius. I'm pretty sure she's not.

In the painting it is every dog's dream to have it raining cookies, especially on a sunny day.

Day 3 -Zoe, the Wonderdog



"Zoe, the Wonderdog" 6"X6"


Here's my fav. dog-girl, Zoe with her ball.

Zoe is a "rescue-pup" who's mug-shot I saw on the Internet. We adopted her about 1 year ago from a small shelter.

We don't know anything about her "back" story, someone just brought her to a shelter and that was it, not sure what her name was, but seems to rhymes with Coco. Funny, when I named her my first choice was "Coco, before Chanel", but my daughter suggested Zoe, so that was it.

When we first adopted her she was 2 years old, but now one year later, she is 5 or 6 yrs. old!  After a health incident and some x-rays and closer exam it was decided she was much older. Now, she is growing those gray grandma whiskers.

But, after a good night's sleep she awakes as a puppy and is ready to play, with her ball always near by. (She just came in and brought her ball, hoping I will lug it out in the hall.) She drops it and rolls it around to show just what a great ball it is and how Fun it would be for You to throw it. Gotta Love It.

OK, she's still waiting-I better give it a toss.

Over and Out from Here.
