Zo-Zo.

We got another beautiful dog and her name is Zoey. She looks just like Lucky, but even smaller! She is only 4 lbs and most of it is fluffy hair. :) She is one of the sweetest dogs we have met and we love her SO much already. We still have a lot to learn about her, but here are the things we have picked up so far about her personality. Enjoy the pics! Meet Zoey!
  • She is an amazing cuddle-bug and she sleeps right next to me at night.
  • She gets really excited when Jordan and I come home from work and she just twirls and twirls around in circles.
Before:
  • Her and Lucky didn't get along at first as you can see by picture 1, but now they do and they are very cute together.
After:
  • We gave her some nick-names (though i am sure they have been used already lol) and they are Zo-Zo, Zoers, and Zo-Zo Bean.
  • She is afraid of almost everything! Most loud noises scare her and she is very sensitive about it.
  • She is very good about going on walks. Her previous owners were awesome and were able to teach her to stay by their side without a leash. So now, when we take her up the canyon by the river she just stays by us and only stops to sniff a few leaves. We had to put her on a leash for our first walk because we weren't sure if she would really stay by us since we were new to her.
How Cute! :) Our first walk together.
  • She also loves riding on our backs when we go on car rides. I guess she has been in a car wreck before and she got scared of the air bag. :) She just looks so darn cute up there that we can't bare to bring her down.
Riding on my back :D
  • When she is laying on the couch she crosses her two front paws and it is the cutest thing ever!

The last few things we have notice about her are:
  • She loves having her belly and ears scratched.
  • She doesn't really like baths.
  • And she is one picky eater. Lucky just eats any doggy treats that she refuses to eat (even when we break it up into smaller pieces). lol.
This is our new sweetheart and we are excited to have her with us! :) She is a doll!

We got LUCKY!

This is Lucky... our puppy! Our newest addition to our family. And we are so Lucky to have him! ;) ha ha... you don't have to laugh at that! From the very first day that we got him we have loved him SO VERY much! He was jumping up and down at me when I first met him and I couldn't get enough of him so we took him right then! He has been the most funny, loving, and crazy dog. I wouldn't trade him for any other because he fits perfectly into our little family. Unfortunately, the previous owners named him and he was used to it so we decided to stick with it. We have decided it kind of fits him though for a few reasons. They are cheesy reasons, but it helped me adapt to his name! lol. His hair color has red in it... and red-heads are known to come from Ireland (Luck of the Irish!), We got him in March which is the month that has St. Patricks day in it (this holiday happens to be about Luck) and the day that this holiday is held on is the 17th (anything with a 7 or 9 in it is my lucky number) and we decided that St. Patricks day would be his "birthday" since the previous owners never told us the real date. So now that my funny quirks are over here are the pics of the little guy! :) This is Lucky! Isn't he just SO cute? :D He is a one year old, male, full-bred, Pomeranian. (though we don't have the papers to prove he is full-bred)
We put a bark collar on him, though it wasn't even necessary. He hardly barks at all. Usually just when he hears other dogs barking, or when he hears strange noises at night outside our window. He thinks he is a big dog in a little body! ha ha. This is Lucky's favorite toy! It was old and torn, so we went to the store and they had another one exactly like it, but darker blue and actually stuffed with cotton. :) He goes crazy when we start playing with it. One of his favorite games is to play tug of war with it. We found out quick that Lucky doesn't like baths.... but then again most dogs don't. ha ha. He is actually good about it though. Once he is in the bath tub he just stands there instead of trying to escape or jump around to avoid the water. Another thing we found out quick was that he LOVES meeting new people. This was our friend Colby's first encounter with Lucky and he was ALL over him. When I took him to the vet for his rabies shot, the doc told me that he is really impressed with Lucky's personality. He said that most dogs of his breed and gender are standoffish: either they are scared or they are mean and extremely territorial. GREAT news! The third thing we found out was that Lucky loves car rides! The bad thing is that when the window is rolled down all the way he feels that he can survive hitting the road at 35 mph. So we have to hold onto his leg when we roll the window down so he won't jump out. ha ha. He likes the drivers seat best cause he can stand on the steering wheel and look out at everything :D We just previously learned a few days ago that he also likes our new treadmill. We always knew he liked going on walks, but now he can enjoy walks and runs with me inside too! lol.

We believe the thing that Lucky loves to do best is sleep! Isn't he just so cute when he is sleeping? Awwww! This is how Lucky usually sleeps. On his back with tongue flailing! :D LOL. Well this is it of him for now! I hope you all enjoyed!
