Zoe has been with us for one year. It’s hard to believe.
To celebrate, we took her and Otis to the Humane Society for their monthly Chip and Nails clinic. Both dogs were overdue to have their nails trimmed, but we remedied that today. It’s well worth the $12 (plus tax), especially considering that our multiple nail-trimming attempts at home ended up with us sitting in one room with the clippers and the dogs dashing to the opposite end of the house.
To celebrate for real, we went for walks and I gave them each a couple extra treats and lots of hugs (which upsets their stomachs less). Nothing too fancy, but we did want to remember the occasion.
It’s starting to get a little warmer now (except for today’s snow-filled extravaganza, which has mostly melted). We’ve been taking the dogs for longer strolls on the path that leads into the woods, as long as the paths stay dry. It’s been good for all of us to have longer walks, although our first attempt involved a lot of wayward sniffing on the dogs’ part.
