Meet the Parry Family: Zoe

Last but not least it's time to meet the canine member of the Parry family...Zoe!
  • Zoe was born September 6, 2003 and came to live with us that Halloween day!
  • Zoe doesn't realize she's a dog. Sometimes she thinks she's a cat and other times she thinks she's a goat or even occasionally a human.
  • She hates spending time outside by herself and will sit by the sliding glass door staring in at us until we let her back inside
  • She can sit, stay, roll over, and play dead as long as you have a treat in your hand
  • She goes nuts any time she hears someone outside the front door or when someone comes in the house but calms down after about 5 minutes
  • Zoe was the last one born in her litter but the only one that wasn't solid black. Solid chocolate cocker spaniels are actually pretty rare and highly prized in some parts of the world.
  • She spends most of her days passed out asleep on the couch

  • She's not as tolerant of the kids as Boo is, mostly she does her best to stay out of their way!
  • She also loves popcorn, something she learned from her pal Boo
  • Zoe really doesn't care for car rides
  • Grace puked on Zoe when she was a baby and it took about two years for Zoe to get over the trauma. Seriously.
  • Zoe will eat pretty much any food dropped on the floor or left anywhere she can reach. She's even been naughty enough to swipe food off the counter which she got in Big Trouble for!
  • Zoe's favorite person in the whole world is David, though her friend Deb ranks a very close second.
  • Zoe is as non-aggressive as a dog can get. She's totally submissive around other dogs and actually seems a bit scared of them.
