The Johnstons!: Meet Zeus Johnston!

Those ears... !!

This past Saturday, Tony and I adopted a sweet little Corgi/Australian Shepherd/?? mix from Greenville Humane Society. His name is Zeus, he's a few days over two months old, and he is absolutely adorable. While we've talked about our "dream dog" breeds before, and may want to adopt/buy Frenchies and Goldens somewhere down the road, we really hit the jackpot with this little guy - Zeus is such a good boy!!! And besides, we've always said we would rather adopt a shelter/rescue dog as long and (s)he was young enough for us to train ourselves.

Zeus has warmed up to us quickly, and is a very fast learner. He's quickly learned to "crate up" at night, has only had a couple accidents inside, and will do his best to walk up and down steps with his cute, stubby legs! We had a bit of a scare on the first full day we had him home - I went to take him outside, and as Zeus was rolling in the grass I noticed that he had eaten away the medical glue keeping him from getting at the stitches over his neuter site. We had to take him to the Animal Emergency Clinic on Sunday morning, and Zeus got staples and an e-collar :( He is not happy about the collar, but luckily he'll be able to take it off tomorrow after his staples are removed.
