Zeus is half Australian cattle dog and half staffy.

I got Zeus when he was nearly 3 years old, as a rescue dog.
Here is his first picture when he first arrived to my house. Doesn't he look happy ❀️

Zeus is now nearly 14 years old. And he is still doing great.

I work from home so he is always by my side he is like my shadow.

When Zeus was younger he was very energetic and a bit of a hand full some times, but as he has gotten older he has chilled out alot!

His favourite thing in the world is car rides!!

And also sleeping and eating haha.

When we got out at nights we always come home to Zeus sleeping on the couch on the back deck which he is not allowed on haha.

And some times he trashes the couch and pulls all the coushins off and sleeps on the floor πŸ˜…

Zeus's dislikes are people touching his feet. Which makes it extremely hard to trim his nails.

And water. He hates water. We used to have a pool in the back yard and he would always stand on the edge barking at us. And when I take him to the beach he will get close to the waters edge but when a wave comes in he runs away haha. It is fun to watch.

Zeus also enjoys hikes in the forest.
But now that he is older the walks aren't as long as they used to be.

And loves watching other people eat. It's his favourite show πŸ˜‚
On today's episode of other people eating...

We nearly lost Zeus last Easter when we gave him a pig trotter as a treat. As Zeus doesn't chew his food properly, after he had the pig trotter he started throwing everything up that he tried to eat and drink 😟 We rushed him to the emergency vet and he was unresponsive on the back seat at one point.
Now it was the start of covid in Australia, we had to talk to the vet via phone which made everything extremely hard and stressful.
Long story short and two trips to the emergency vet it turned out Zeus had a bone lodged in his throat. He had to have surgery straight away at midnight. It was touch and go for a couple of days there but he eventually pulled through and came back to the Zeus we know and love 😊

Zeus has brought so much joy into my life and has always been there through the ups and downs. I can't imagine a life with out him to be honest.

IMG_20210214_131656.jpg

As Zeus is getting old now his back hips are a bit stiff and has trouble getting up stairs and into the car so I have to give him a lift up into the back seat.

If I was granted one wish.
I would wish that pets would live as long as humans, so Zeus could grow old with me 😊

IMG_20210214_141814.jpg

Fingers crossed Zeus will be with us for a couple more years to come.

Thanks for stopping by and Zeus says "WOOF" 🐾🐾

Hahaha, he sure is the best!! And definitely doesn't like his paws touched, I didn't realise it was a breed thing.

Nah, the touching needs to be trained period but riding the car and the overall behavior. The Staff in him lol. And the nails tend to be like that, Bulldogs are a similar breed to Staffs etc. They all belong to the Molossus dogs, even pugs ;). I cannot trim Joys nails because they are so thick and splitter.

Love your bike btw, we have a Honda RC51 SP1, are you into MotoGP? A shout out to Miller, Stoner and Doohan πŸ˜‰...you guys rock...but Vale is the best πŸ˜„...Go 46!
