Greek Life

We got a dog!!!! His name is Zeus! Yes, it's a boy. Mom and Dad went to the shelter first thing this morning to look at Boo Boo. They said she was older than 3 years and although she was sweet and affectionate, she just wasn't for us. They then walked up and down the kennel rows looking at all the dogs and after passing Zeus three or four times, they asked for his story. Someone had left him tied to the gates of the shelter a few days ago, no name, no anything. He was very affectionate and sweet and didn't bark - he was very quiet - which is what my parents really liked about him, so they brought him home. You can tell he isn't quite fully grown because his paws and legs are a little too big for him, and he's a bit gangly. Dr. Westbrook said that he was probably only six months, even if he is 53lbs! That's more than Bonnie weighed at her heaviest! Zeus looks just like Bonnie - a cross between a Chesapeake bay retriever and a yellow Labrador retriever - I swear, if you catch him in the right light, you'd think it was Bonnie. I've given him a bath and some heart worm medicine. Tomorrow, he gets K9 advantix. He loves the pond! He spent quite some time in there, chasing dragonflies in and out of the water. I'm just so happy! And soon, he's getting a companion - Zoey! She was the wild card on yesterday's list, but Mom and Dad went to see her after learning that Blondie's foster family had adopted her, and they said that Zoey was just beautiful! She's a black Labrador retriever and she's gorgeous. When we get them both, I'll post up pictures. They both have to be fixed first before they meet - he's an un-neutered male, she's an un-fixed female - and we don't want anymore puppies! Well, Zeus is still practically a puppy, and so cute!
