ALSO BARKED ZARA THUSTRASIA...

My dog has a fine pair of balls - which belonged to her predecessor

On this very day 30 years ago, my dog ZARA was born.

I brought her home on July 12th, and the first thing she did was

take a dump on the living-room carpet..  Took me ages to get her

house-trained, but she had a very placid nature.  I could take bones

from her without incident and she never bit anyone in her 12 and a

half-odd years of life.  I took loads of photos of her over the years

so I thought I'd show some of them here to mark her birthday.

She was registered with the Kennel Club under the name of

 ZARA THUSTRASIA, which was a feminization of the

name ZARATHUSTRA, as in 'Also Sprach...'

So enjoy the photos and then give your own dog a pat on
the head to show how much you love and appreciate it.

"What did you wake me for?" she's asking

Ain't she sweet?

My mate Peter from primary school gets a warm (but wet) welcome

"What do you mean 'Get down Shep'?  Who's Shep?

Don't worry about me - I'm winning!

"What're you looking at?"

"Hey, it's snowing!"

"I'll just pose here for a minute!"
