It's My Dog

Well, here we are back to Friday again!


This is one Friday I'm not especially looking forward to as I have to take my dog Zoe' to the Vet for a booster shot and check up.

How much does Zoe' enjoy her visit to the Vet? Not much, she swallows two Valiums prior to the trip.

That only takes the edge off and she is still ready to fight when she gets there.

Today in honor of Zoe's drug-induced trip to the Vet, I thought I would post some famous quotations in her honor.

Bark: This is a sound made by dogs when excited. Dogs bark at milkmen, postmen, yourself, visitors to the house and other dogs; some of them bark at nothing.
