Hilarious to watch Zoe bat popcorn around the room yesterday afternoon. It's light, white, and fluffy, perfect for a tiny dog, so she had fun. Missy's friskier and playing "fetch" more often with another dog living in the house. Nice change from slacking off most of the day. Of course Zoe had to get in on the action with her own version of "fetch". She found a worn Beanie Baby she liked, but shook it to death on the way to bringing it to me. Not a gentle bird dog, no siree.
Zoe is considered a "tiny toy" poodle at 5.4 lbs. She was 7 years old in July, according to new info from the previous family. Missy is a "toy" at 8 lbs, and about the same age. She towers over Zoe, which seems funny, considering how little Missy looked when we first got her last year. Guess everything is a matter of scale.
We took our fourth walk this morning, 1.5 miles. Missy is getting a bit impatient with the slow pace, but it's teaching her not to lunge ahead. Meanwhile Zoe trots along on little legs, leash barely drooping toward me. She makes sure she's not back so far that it is taut. She got tired about 3 blocks from home, so we detoured through the park and let her walk and Missy run off leash. One worked off excess energy, the other rested and gathered stamina to make it home.
After breakfast, both dogs plopped down for a nap. So why am I still up? Good doggies.
