Maggie (AKA Madgelena), Zeus’ mom, was flown from a remote First Nation in Northern Saskatchewan by a doctor, determined to rescue lost dogs. After landing in Regina the dogs were then driven to Rocky Mountain Animal Rescue. The story struck a chord with us and so we immediately decided to foster her. Six days after picking Maggie up, with a vet visit in between to start her shots, she surprised us and had two beautiful, male puppies.
Zeus’ lineage is anyone’s guess but our best guess is husky (dad) with some labrador and shepherd (mom). Zeus was named for the small white streak on the top of his head when he was born. He is slightly smaller and lighter in colour than his brother but every day he gets noticeably bigger. He often finds himself on the receiving end of his brother’s playfulness but is learning to stick up for himself and even be on the attack. His noises are getting more animated from soft grunts to little raccoon like calls to small barks. But otherwise, Zeus is quiet unless hungry or Maggie walks by.
He spends a lot of time outside on the grass where he likes to cruise around and is really starting to run. He is more the inquisitive brother and is getting a little braver every day. He will explore the yard but often finds himself wandering back to the safety of the pen. He loves to curl up with his brother whether it’s inside their box or in a corner, cuddled up in a puppy pile. Play hard, nap hard is his motto.
