Zuul is back from Phoenix

Zuul spent an exciting winter holiday in ever-sunny Phoenix visiting her Grandparents and Aunties.

The three of us jumped in the car and hunkered down for a long drive.

The drive was surprisingly pleasant. I must say that driving via Nevada was much more relaxing than jockeying down I-5 through Central California. Zuul did great. I covered the back seat with her blankets (thanks Nana!) and she seemed pleased. She spent most of the time dozing or checking out the scenery. I'm not feeling especially loquacious today. I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Zuul's first snow!

Zuul is definitely not a Labrador. That's our bag of food in the car. She is stretched out and sleeping.


A park in Sparks. A Sparks park! Sarsgaard SARS Guard!




Zuul pants! This is a first. Seriously.




"How may I help you?"


Zuul picked up a premium sweater courtesy of her mother's fine 90s fashion sense. Thanks 90s!

"Why yes, I do."





I can't remember who took which pictures. I'm sure the good ones are mine and those involving a dog butt are by Megan. Figure out where Zuul was by going to her Picasa album and looking at the map in the lower left of your screen.

Zuul picked up a bug while in Phoenix. She starting coughing after we returned home last weekend. It was mild until yesterday when it really picked up and she was producing some goodies. She coughed most of the night :( I let her out at about 5:30am this morning and she coughed up a big mess of mucous. Megan took her to the vet this morning and Zuul should be back to normal within a few days. She's cute when she coughs so I know she'll be fine.

I hope everyone had a great holiday! I know we did.
