Life Lessons According to Zooey

I've caught A LOT of flak for bringing home a new puppy whilst pregnant, I have to admit. Erik did say that he wanted this monster for his birthay, but I'm not entirely sure that he meant it after all. She wakes us up at all hours of the night, wants to nap only after we're wide awake, makes messes, puts everything in her mouth, terrorizes her older "sister", and pretty much just keeps us in a constant state of vigilance...you know, pretty much just like a baby...only with four legs and a fur coat! It was actually a genius move for me to bring her home right now (mental pat on the back) - what better preperation for November?!! We are having a lot of fun with her too of course, and she has also reminded us of some valuable lessons that we tend to forget in the course of our now-more-hectic lives.



Lesson #1: Make sure to always pose and look your best when there's a camera around! You never know who might post your picture!




Lesson #2: A friend by your side makes every moment sweeter.




Lesson #3: A nap in the middle of the day? A necessity in this sweltering Oklahoma heat!




Lesson #4: A walk a day keeps the doctor away. Oh, and looking fashionable while you do it doesn't hurt.




Lesson #5: When you REALLY want something, don't let any obstacle stand in your way, no matter how big it seems.
