Another post starring a Zoey

Today we have an interview from a border collie mix. We would have interviewed Zoey directly but she has a very busy schedule and wasn't up for the interview. Instead she put us in touch with her head of PR who is also Zoey's human sister, Joanie.

Here's what Joanie had to say about her client:

Here's the 411 on "The Other Zoey"

Birthday: April 16, 2009
Breed: Half Border Collie, San Miguel Cattle Dog
Weight: 57 pounds
Build: Athletic
Lanuages: Chinese (Cantonese), English

Select Zoey stories:
- One day I took Zoey to the backyard to do her business and she ran up the stairs into the kitchen before me, as usual. When I got to the kitchen, the cookies I left on the (very high) kitchen counter were gone. I looked at Zoey, and she looked back at me innocently. I turn my head ahead away and immediately hear chewing "chump chump chump." I look back at Zoey again -- silence. I look to the counter -- "chump chump chump." Back at Zoey -- silence. Sneaky little dog!
- When Zoey was a puppy her favorite thing to do was chew on shoe strings. One day my mom found a pair of her non-lace Sketchers (there are taut elastic bands instead of shoe laces) with all the elastic bands pulled loose. Her shoes will never be tight again.
- Zoey is part cattle dog so her natural instinct is to herd. One morning when she was still a young puppy, we took her for a walk. My mom walked ahead of us and Zoey kept running up to her and nipping her feels. "She thinks you're cattle," laughs my dad hysterically. Another moment where Mama Lam is not pleased.
- Zoey is my dad's best friend. One time when my sister asked my dad whether he thought his little nieces were cute, he replied, "I don't need any other kids. I've got my baby right here." He says this while patting Zoey's head as she sits dutifully by his side.
