About Me

My name is Zara - affectionately nicknamed "The Zoobs". This is my website for my daily thoughts and experiences. I started my life in Japan, born as an American Akita and was purchased as a "pet" by a wonderful family (we'll get to that later). Being an Akita my regal background is well known to you I am sure. I don't need to tell you that my ancestors were guards for royal Japanese families, that we are very athletic, physically beautiful, wonderfully intelligent, and generally self assured. 

Enough of that - my early life was spent in a loving home with another dog already in the home - Beau the Beagle. We were friends for a bit, but he usually tried to eat my food (he was a pig) so I bit him one day and he stopped messing with me from then on. The family was generally satisfactory until my mom and dad split up. The next few years were ... beneath me so we won't talk about that. I ended up back in the home with my mom and my real dad who had brought with him another dog - my best friend - Uncle Remus. A beautiful black lab who was generally the talk of the town. We were friends until his last day a few years ago leaving just me again in this home. 

My second mom (my mom's daughter) was my most faithful supporter for the majority of her teenage years and into college. She went away for a brief period to college out of town and I tore up her apartment in rage at the change. We quickly moved back home so that strategy clearly worked in my favor. 

Fast forward to the last few years - I am getting a bit older now and have no time for foolishness. I have been fortunate to meet my second mom's future husband, Mr. Jordan who has been one of my greatest supporters. He generally understands me and we get along quite well. So well in fact that he encouraged me to start this journal where I keep my general thoughts every few days and document my daily experiences for your edification. I hope you enjoy it - but who am I kidding - of course you will. You may reach me at my convenience at
