Zoey the nose

Zoey has been busy the last several weeks. She started the month out celebrating the 4th at Grandma’s house. She got to play with all the dogs and bbq. Later that evening everyone took a dog and went for a walk. Grandma actually walked Zoey to give her some variety. And everyone marveled on how nice she walked on her leash.Ever so often she would want to know where foster mom was and make sure she hadnt been left. It took Zoey and the other dogs a few days to recover from all the excitement. Later on in the month she attended a doggy playtime and leash training. And she did wonderfully. She did get alittle tuckered out at one point so she got to hang out with the trainer.

Zoey’s nose sure has been busy lately. Shes very smart and waits till your not looking. But as soon as you turn your back shes busy sniffing away at the places treats are usually kept. Last week mom heard a rusteling noice and Zoey came happily walking into the computer room with a bag of cheese its in her mouth. She acted like nothing was happening. Another afternoon she managed to pull some wrappers out of the trash and tear them to bits while the humans and other dogs were napping. Zoeys favorite thing to sniff lately is ice cream cones. She will come and sit next to you and have her face right in your lap wanting to sneak a lick if she could.She is reminded no and she is good at understanding. Zoey sniffs a lot, but she she does not beg for human food very much. Zoey is learning that is okay to take treats from moms hand (only her very very favorite ones though) but is hestiant to take them from dad or strangers still. Mom thinks she is begining to teach Zoey to sit as well so we shall see how that is going.
