All about Zoey

Zoey is a large black, two and a half year old Labrador who has a lot of energy and keeps the whole family on their toes. Her favourite game is chasing a ball and bringing it back to whoever threw it so they will throw it again, and again, and again. Her best friend is a little white Bichon Frise named Toby. They live with three cats, Kimba, Kenny and Tigger, four budgies a turtle and some tropical fish.
Every morning Zoey and Toby take their mum for a walk to check out the neighbourhood and sniff the smells along the way. Occasionally one of them will find a chicken bone that someone has dropped and it is crunched up very quickly. They are not into sharing when it comes to chicken bones.
Sometimes at the weekends we jump in the car and go for a ride to the Botanic Gardens in Manurewa. There are lots of exciting smells there and other doggie friends to meet. Zoey loves to jump into the pond and have a refreshing swim and it is even better if a ball if thrown for her to swim out to and fetch. Toby watches from the muddy banks and cheers his friend on. Once he got so excited that he fell into the water, but his sense of hunour was lost at that point and he had to have a helping hand to pull him out. Now he is careful not to get too close to the edge!
