Zoe

Zoe is our eldest rottweiler, turning 10 in September. She is the sweetest, kindest, most loyal dog I have ever met. Steve has had her since she was a puppy - back in the frat house in Iowa. I have known Zoe since she was 3 - and fell in love with her the moment we met! I think it's safe to say that everyone who gets to know Zoe - loves her too! She's been slowing down over the years and more recently has stopped using her right front leg. She doesn't complain of being in pain - but the right front leg has grown more useless in the past month. Last week we took Zoe into the vet - and we got the news that she has a tumor in her front leg - and has less than a month left with us. The day Zoe leaves us will be a VERY sad day for Steve and I - but I do know that she has lived a very happy life - and has brought many joys to the people around her. She is so kind to Mason - and I only wish Alyssa could meet this amazing dog. Losing her will be like losing a family member - and I know I will always miss her. 

Alameda County Fair

Today we went to the fair in Pleasanton - with our friends the Perroti's. Even though it was almost 100 degrees out - we all had a great time - especially the boys. I think the highlight was the pony rides! All 3 boys rode a pony - it was so cute to see them hanging onto the handle and petting their mane.  Mason tried cotton candy for the first time too - he took one bite and threw the rest on the ground - guess he didn't like it. The snow cones were the hit of the group. Mason devoured most of his - them I stole it!
