Here are a few of my favorite pictures of our dog, Zulla.  We loved her!!!

I meant to write down a few things about Zulla, but didn’t have the time between last night and this morning.  I absolutely LOVE her and am just so sad that we couldn’t keep her. 

Zulla thinks she is a lap dog.  She knows that she can come up on the furniture when I put her quilt next to me and she snuggles up!  She loves treats, and comes running when I open our pantry door-that’s where I kept them.  She’s pretty lazy and mostly lounges around-especially when there is a sunny patch on our stairs.  She loves lying in the sunlight.  She also loved to lay under our grand piano when I played.  She loves to play with her toys and will fetch them if she’s in the mood.  If not, all you have to do is taunt her with the toy and  bounce it on her neck to get her to play and she’ll do it until she poops out.  She also likes to play hid-and-seek.  I just whistle and she would come try to find me.  She is potty trained and will come bump me on the back of my leg to let me know she needs to go.  The phrase we used is “potty” and she would go.  We trained her to go potty in the rocks to eliminate cleaning up poop in our backyard.  She is excellent about going in one spot.  She knows how to sit, shake, up to jump up on my legs to get her ears rubbed and my husband trained her to be very gentle when eating from his hand.  He would use the word “soft” and she would be very gentle when taking a bite.  She LOVES popcorn!  She goes nuts and will simply not leave you alone unless you share!  She catches food mid-air when it is thrown to her.  She loves to go on walks…all you have to do is say, “Zulla, do you want to go for a walk?”  She’ll shake a bit, but once you get her out, her tail usually goes up and she is happy.  She doesn’t necessarily like to shower, but once you get her in (we had a big shower and I just showered her with me) she loves the feeling of being clean and will prance around happily after she gets out.  She is most comfortable in her kennel.  She’ll probably be there near the back for a while.  She also LOVED to follow me around our neighborhood when I would ride my bike.  She’d race me and always won!
