Zeus, by Debbie

…[we] adopted a Dobie puppy from you last year. I see you have new puppies due on our dog, Zeus’s first birthday! I had to email and tell you what a great dog Zeus is. He’s almost 11 months old and weighs in at 97 pounds. He’s a red & rust. I cannot tell you how many people have commented on what a great looking dog Zeus is. He is truly beautiful to look at. He has been a great addition to our family. We even centered our last family vacation around Zeus - we drove to South Carolina to visit my sister. Dogs are allowed on the public beaches, and wow, what a great time he had going to the beach. He got to swim, play in tide pools, and check out all the other beach bum dogs.

This weekend we took him to St. Louis’s annual Bark in the Park festival at Forest Park. Even though over 3,000 dogs showed up, tons of people were singling Zeus out and telling us what a gorgeous dog he is. We dressed him up in my daughter’s cheerleading uniform, complete with fake pony tail curls. What a riot! He actually won Best Dog Costume and took home a very nice trophy. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch was there and took several pictures of Zeus, both in and out of his costume. I’m not sure if his pictures made it to the paper or not…

My coworker… adopted a puppy from you at Christmas time in 2005. They named her Holly. Zeus and Holly have gotten together a few times for play dates and we hope to have more this summer. I am now such a big Dobie fan, we are considering becoming foster parents for Dobies in need for the Doberman Rescue group of St. Louis.

I just wanted to share with you how much we adore Zeus. He is truly a gorgeous example of the Dobie breed.
