Things are not always what they seem...


For those that are not familiar with our fury, four-legged family member Zoe (dog) let me give a very shortened overview…. More like, let me smash 6 years of Houdini, tomfoolery into one small paragraph (Zoe could have her own book).  We adopted miss Zoe Mae from our local shelter in Dearborn, MI after my beloved, friend Rocky (dog) passed away unexpectedly in Oct 2007.  Zoe’s shelter given name was “Blessie”, which I can’t help but respond to by saying “MMMHHhhmmm” with my best “Martin Lawrence, Big Mama’s House” impersonation.  LOL “Blessie” my foot! Houdini would have suited her better.  Since 2007 Zoe has climbed fences, jumped fences, gone under fences and even THROUGH fences.  NOTHING can hold this dog in for long.  She’s uprooted tie outs, broken tie outs for hundred plus pound dogs (she only weighs 35lbs), snapped dog trollies that my 180 lb husband could literally ride without breaking, she’s ran through high powered electrical fences with a smile on her face and some how by the grace of the powers that be, we always get her back! Somehow. Someway.
