Zoe is so darn cute. She loves Steve, but I am her Sun and Moon. Wherever I go, Zoe is close behind me. We do have a lot in common, I admit. Energetic, silly, goofy, sweet (I've been told! :D), affectionate, and full of fun and mischief. I was taking pictures of the dogs when she trotted by and I called her name. She stopped, turned her head and looked up at me...*click*! :D (Texture by Jerry Jones: PaperBox )

Many notes above full of fun and frolic! :D This morning when I went out with my camera to get my Picture of the Day, I took the dogs with me and had a great time watching them run around and play. All three of them were in high spirits, and even Molly--who doesn't usually bother with Zoe and Moosie's games--joined in for the fun and games! :) With such silliness going on, I thought it would be a great opportunity to take pictures of them!

This is our extremely silly Boxer, Zoe, with Moosie using her rump for a pillow! She is the most hyperactive dog I've ever met, but the's also incredibly affectionate and sweet, and is a total clown. She loves to play and would be happy if she could run at full speed all day long! Steve was at the nearby hardware store a few years ago when he called to tell me there was a litter of Boxer puppies there and we simply must have one, so he brought me back to see them and the smallest puppy was who I fell in love with. Zoe is still a bit small but she only recently stopped growing! We don't know anything about her parents except that they are purebred, and we were happy they only cropped her tail and left her ears alone! The Boxer was bred in Germany in the late 1800's as a military dog, where it was used for guarding, attacking, delivering messages, and as a pack dog. Today, it's known as a wonderful companion, family and guard dog, and is often seen in agility, obedience and flyball events.
