Chasing Cats

Tonight I took a drive and when I got back I let Zola outside. She sniffed around and then found things weren't quite right. A cat was in her yard! She chased it off and then proceeded to sniff around for about 20 minutes. I guess she was making sure there weren't any intruders hiding elsewhere. She is a silly dog.

After her little escapade she was pretty worn out. She came in wanting to cuddle up and relax. So far this is the highlight of her day, and perhaps her week.

Summer Breeze

This evening was beautiful, lucky for the Summer Breeze Concert Series and the band, Elephant Revival. You can check Elephant Revival out here. Zola and I took a blanket an 'popped a squat.' Everyone kept approaching Zola wanting to pet her but she is just a little beast. Kids kept running up to our pad and she would growl viciously. I wish she were nicer and more social but I am happy that she is my protector. She could never physically protect me but she is alarming so that is a plus. Anyway we sat for awhile listened to some great music and walked a bit soaking up springtime weather (which is near nonexistent here). What a beautiful night!

Betas

Apparently Betas are prone to constipation. Fun stuff eh? Last week my fish, Ziggy, was acting really weird. He was just floating sideways on the top of the water. After inspection I realized he couldn't swim downward. Thanks to Joey and the internet I found out he had a broken swim bladder. One remedy was to cook a pea, peel the skin and get them to eat some of it. This was definitely easier said than done but I tried. I was worried that he was going to die but Thursday I came home and he was back to normal YAY!
Fish are hard to photo. Pointers welcome, apologies for poor quality.

I have been bad about posting lately. Apologies. Last Saturday we went to the Dachshund Dash, which benefited the Oklahoma Human Society. It was a lot of fun, there were so many adorable dogs. We missed the entry date so Zola wasn't racing this year but maybe next year. I really think she could win it!
These were the doxie boxes. It was pretty silly watching them try to wrestle their dogs into them.3,2,1...And they're off!!
