Zeus, the Dog of the Day
Name: Zeus
Age: One and a half years old
Gender: Male Breed: Siberian Husky
Home: Allegany, New York, USA
 
   This is Zeus, my year and a half year old Siberian Husky. My husband got him for me for a birthday present last year. We had been to see the litter when they were about four weeks old, but I had no idea one of them would be mine. He has been a delight and a challenge! He will howl if I try to sleep late on Saturday mornings. He has escaped several times to visit my neighbors farm and also the high school a few miles down the road. He loves to play with his "sisters" Dixie (a German shepherd) and Foxy (a 14 year old shepherd mix), and our four cats. He also went for a trail ride when my neighbor took her horse for a ride! He is the biggest mooch I know, but that's ok because I like to share. My husband was worried that three dogs would have been too much too handle, but he is such a wonderful companion, I don't know what I'd do without him!!!

    We decided to go out for ice cream one night and had to take Zeus with us. This one ice cream place has what they call a "man's best friend". It's a dish of soft serve vanilla ice cream with three milk bones on top. As you can see, Zeus liked it very much! I try to take him with me where ever I can; all I have to do is jingle my keys and he thinks he's going for a ride. This was the first time we took him for ice cream, and when he got out of the truck he ran right over to the window like he knew what he was doing! I was glad I had my camera with me. He is such a special dog and is so much fun. He plays hide and seek (my husband or I will hide and Zeus will find us!), and he also loves to go for bike rides.
