Thoughts

Zuzu is curled up on the couch next to me. She is sleeping and probably dreaming doggy dreams. It is just us in the living room. I can see her by the light of the christmas tree and my computer, and we are listening to christmas music. My family decorated our christmas tree tonight. We have to be careful not to put any breakable ornaments on the bottom part of the christmas tree, because Zuzu will knock them off.
It occurs to me that she has no idea that she has been the subject of my blog for the semester. She doesn't even know what a blog is. Well, obviously she doesn't know what a blog is; she is a dog.

A little out of season...

I know that it is now December, and Halloween is the farthest thing from everyone's mind. However, I just wanted to post this picture of Zuzu in her ladybug costume, that we forced her into this Halloween. This is her model pose, as you can see the whole costume. 

My sisters and I got her this costume while shopping for Halloween costumes for ourselves. We noticed a costume section for dogs in The Halloween store (yes, that's the real store name) and we knew we had to get something for Zuzu. We looked at lots of different options, like a piece of corn or a flapper, but we eventually decided to go with the ladybug costume. I think we made the right choice.

I made it!

Okay, this is a post of relief. My family went away for a few days this week, leaving me in charge of all of the animals, including Zuzu. I was nervous that I would feed her the wrong thing or that she would run away. I am not sure why I was so nervous, probably just because my mom usually is her primary caretaker, and I have never been solely in charge for two days. Anyway, nothing very exciting happened. I walked her a lot, so she got all of her energy out. I fed her twice a day. Everything was fine. Boring even.
