a dog's life

Finally it's my turn to post...

if you are recent to this blog then let me introduce myself -

My name is Zoe and I am a 9 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi.
My mom is allowing me this guest post while her finger heals.
She thanks you all for asking how she is doing;
the finger is healing but starting to hurt more and 
she is hoping that means the nerves are reattaching
and nothing more.
She is a tad down and finds it hard to sit still
and the worst thing is that she won't throw the ball to me
and no art is happening.

I live with her and Doug and I love fetching and herding my family...

yep that is what I do...

especially on walks - and when strangers come to the door,

well who are we kidding - when anyone comes to the door.
It's just what I do.

thought you might enjoy seeing a little bit of my world....

We walked to Pine Lake Park the other night for a 60's concert.

There were lots of dogs to see,

but my mission was to herd my parents through the park and back home.

It's just what I do. 

It was a beautiful summer day.

Summer doesn't get any better than here,

that is after summer actually arrives and decides to stay...

just love this lake -

 

Then Saturday we went on a long drive in the car...

I usually don't go on these outings as I get a little dizzy and carsick.

I am too short to see out and Mr. Nick is in Paris and could not hold me.

sigh, I miss my boy.

First we went to Gig Harbor, a beautiful little town west of Tacoma.

Oh mom, of course we had to pose...

how embarrassing!

and I was planning on eating these yummy colored items left right on the sidewalk

until my mom showed me that there was a sidewalk drawing contest going on.

very cool art...

even got my white paws colored from it -

I kinda like the look.

Then my adventure continued at a family party.

 I met Maddie and Bella -

 they were young whippersnappers and made me nervous 

as they ganged up on me - 

I am an old lady you know

and I like my quiet.

I enjoyed spending time with my good friend Tess.  

Now there's a dog who gets me.

She had the largest beef bone and 

I got to gnaw on it a couple of times.

I had a whimpy rawhide and I wanted Tess' bone 

and she wanted my rawhide.

The grass is always greener right?

So I had to eat my rawhide as fast as I could so she would not get it, 

but then I threw it all up... drat.

Here's my favorite Ella who loves cheerios -

my kinda girl...

She did not spill as many as I had hoped, drat...

She didn't feel very well...

my mom thinks she has the cutest bum...

but then again she says that about mine.

Now I for one covet her shoes -

red and pink and cherries -

how cute are these?

and these are her ladybug shoes...

I seriously wanted to put all 4 of them on my feet and sneak out - 

do you think anyone would have noticed?

On the ride home I saw my first train - a little loud and big and scary
so I moved to the other side of the car...
I really prefer just hanging out at home
(It's just what I do),
but I did enjoy myself today.
I have more to share so mom said I can blog again sometime if you guys like it,
so please comment if you do!
I gotta get more comments than the cat's post  (9) so comment here please 
and give the dog some support.
thanks!
