DSCN1712-2Zumba has been very busy this spring “helping” in the garden and going toΒ student de-stressing days at Simon Fraser University.Β  Mum just doesn’t appreciateΒ Zumba’s help in the garden and doesn’t understand that the dirt out of flower potsΒ needs to be spread out on the lawn, and that the clematis vines need toΒ beΒ tugged straight so she can rearrange them properly on the fence!!Β  Mum did appreciate Zumba’sΒ holding his sit for this photo when he really just wanted toΒ steal her garden gloves and hand shovel, and to deadhead the flowers before they were dead!!Β Β

Zumba is very good at “mine” and “yours” (except when it’s flower pots).Β  When we were at SFU the other day I wrote his name inΒ kibble and he completely left it alone and made a point of not looking at it.Β  Eventually heΒ decided to have a little snooze, and as he lay down his head heΒ realizedΒ that he was about toΒ lay on the kibble.Β  He actually recoiled – no way he was going to touch that kibble that wasn’t “his”.Β Β He is SOΒ sweet!!!
