Family Pet

 

This is Zed.  He has been through a lot in the last few years.  He used to be the baby in the family.  Then we had W and life changed for Zed.  He had to share and Zed doesn't like to share.  When W started to walk, Zed retreated even more (Zed is only about 12 lbs)  We threw Zed a curve when I got pregnant again with Zeph.  But that wasn't the only change Zed had to deal with in the last year, he lost his "sister" Zoey (our black lab).  Zed didn't let this get him down.  He has taken to being an only dog better than we expected.  He really likes not fighting for table scraps and having the ottoman to himself.  He sometimes gets to go to work with C.  Since Zeph has joined the fam, Zed has actually shown a little more interest in the boys.  He gives kisses to Zeph, takes food from W and even has played fetch with W.  Things have been turning up Zed lately.

This is Gigi.  She is W's "dog".  He remembers to feed her (more than he does Zed), walks her (in the house), takes her for car rides, ties her up (so she doesn't run away) and wraps her up in a blanket at night (so she doesn't get cold). 

Needless to say, Zed has competition again in the form of a little, cuddly stuffed poodle.
