A Conversation with My Zoe'

Tuesday is as Tuesday does.




So my dog Zoe' sat down beside me and was in kind of a melancholy mood.

It was time to sit and chew the bone so we settled in and she asked me how my day had been and how I was doing. I told her my day was fine and I am good.

I asked her what was going on in her life and she said life was good. She gets to swim every day and rule her kingdom.

Zoe' said she feels like Paris Hilton - everyone pampers her and she growls when she wants and gets attention when she wants. Zoe' said life is good!


I asked her how her trips to the local park were going and she opened up and told me that she had had an interesting conversation with the other dogs at the park.

She told me that they had all been talking about how, no matter the weather - hot, cold, wind, rain, or snow, all the dogs felt they had to take their masters to the park so they would not be disappointed.

She said she and the other dogs agreed there were nights they really didn't feel like going to the park, but they all said if they didn't take their masters to the park that the masters would mope all night and make them feel guilty.

Zoe' also told me that all the dogs noticed how all of their masters started clock watching when it was getting close to time to go and even how some of their masters give them that big eye stare as if to ask if there was any chance of going early.

She told me the dogs thought it especially important to socialize their masters with other masters so they would get along with a group.

Zoe' said that all the dogs, including her, were very surprised and real happy with the way the masters all get along with each other and in fact thought it was great how much laughter they hear from the group.

She said that all the dogs think a lot of the world problems are solved by their masters every night as well.

She also noted that the dogs all have a smorgasbord of treats every night, but the dogs do enjoy watching their masters devour Pat's cookies when her dog Maggie makes her bring cookies to the park.

Zoe said all of the dogs were especially pleased that the masters are concerned that the dogs don't get bored while waiting for the masters getting ready to leave so they bring goodies to keep the dogs there longer so their masters can visit more.

She said all the dogs agreed they were willing to give up watching Animal Planet on TV so their masters got out of the house and enjoyed the fresh air. They all thought that was a small price to pay.

With that she settled in for a quick 10 minute nap before taking me to the park.

Man I hope Zoe' wakes up in time to take me to the park. If not I will have to make noise to wake her up so she will let me go to the park!!!!!


A recent survey of over 200 professional dog obedience judges ranked the Afghan hound as the least intelligent dog. The border collie was ranked the smartest. Discover Magazine, 4/07

But when it came to the smartest, Discover Magazine never met my dog Zoe'. They don't know she talks!!!!

It's Tuesday, what can I say, but it's hard entertaining thousands of people!!

Return again tomorrow for more of nothing much!!!
