I met Ike yesterday at a local middle school park where we take The Biz for weekend exercise. Ike’s owners found him abandoned in an Ikea parking lot and decided to name him after it. I just love that.  Ike is a little poodle mix — his owners were told maybe with a dash of mini schnauzer. After watching him run and play for a while I have to think there’s some terrier in there — which would make Ike a Perrier or a Terdle depending on your preference for designer breed names.

Ike, I hope we meet again soon.

With a name like that he had a lot to live up to and boy did he ever exceed my expectations. Zev turned out to be beautiful brindle pitbull with love for life even bigger than his name. We went to Ft Funston (my destination of choice these days) and took advantage of the fall iceplants for background scenery.Zev spent the outing marking everything in sight, meeting and greeting lots of dogs, retrieving his wubba, and, believe it or not, climbing a tree. And now, without further ado, meet Zev V…

Let his mom know which shots you like the most for a Pet Food Express poster.

I just love Zev’s focus. This was a classic pose for him
