Smile

I just ran into a guy with two Llhasas that I had the opportunity to take care of recently.  Very interesting dogs.  My version of Alpha/Beta does not coincide with the owners!  But I’m just the neighbor who takes them out and feeds them,

Zoe ran and said “hello” to Rick.  He said that when he sees Zoe, which is Greek for “life,” all he can think of is “smile.”  That’s our sweet girl in a nutshell.  The happiest critter I’ve ever seen.  When she was relinquished with her litter at the shelter at five weeks, she was full of fleas (flea bath) and had a nasty case of coccidia and hookworm that we took care of three days later.

Since then she’s had both hips removed as a pup (at six and nine months) and has recovered nicely, able to get up to the counter for steak and stove for croissants.  We love our little shelter girl. She’s sleeping right now, making sure neither of us go out the front door. Yes, a herder.  ‘night now.  Dee
