Zoe’s Turn To Go To Pet Therapy
I took my corgi, Zoe, to Pet Therapy today. Everybody loves a corgi, but she’s a very transactional dog — treats = love, love = treats. So long as we all understand this, it works okay. My mutt, Tegan, on the other hand, thinks it is always her turn to go to the hospital. It…

More Than a Corgi Deep …
We got a foot of snow last night — not Buffalo-deep, but more than the 3-4 inches we were expecting. Certainly more than Zoe the Corgi was expecting. Her little legs barely touched bottom, and there were times when she was dog-paddling. But she made it back to dry land, safe and sound.

Zoe the Corgi Snores
Zoe is a small dog — I think she is the smallest dog we’ve ever had — just about 20 pounds. She is small enough to pass under Tegan, who is not a tall dog. For a corgi, Zoe has a pointy little fox nose. When she sleeps, she likes to tuck her…
