Zoe and her Maternal Instinct

A post on FB, had me thinking about Zoe this morning... Her maternal instinct comes into play with Sneek. It's a beautiful thing to watch.

Walking in the gully, Sneek's terrier(? maybe terrier) side is in full force. She snifs every little nook and cranny looking for varmints. Sometimes, she gets up on the hill side, alone. Zoe consistently looks for Sneek if she isn't with the pack. If Sneek falls behind, Zoe goes to her and shows her the way to Jake and I.

We were on the bridge last night and Sneek wasn't - she was down by the water, on the wrong trail. Sneek still won't cross thru the water. The look on Sneek's face was almost panic - she couldn't' figure out how to get to us - without getting in the water. We were all the way thru the bridge and Zoe ran all the way back, to get Sneek. She got Sneek to follow her onto the right path...I was simply amazed at how Zoe knew what to do...

Good girl Zoe..
