Viva Zapata

New Dog on the Block

We have a new dog on staff: Zappa (or Zap if you're in a rush - Zapata if you have more time on your hands). He is named as a nod to Mexican Revolutionary Politics, American Progressive Music, and of course Fly Spray.

He lists among his interests -- Agrarian Reform, Stockhausen and Pest Control.

Here he starts his duties on Border Patrol. He is accompanied by a Follower of Zapata, or Zapatista ...

Sam and Zappa

As a footnote , Zappa comes to us, like his much missed predecessor Fire, as a rescue dog. Many thanks to Staffy Rescue N.S.W., an admirable outfit who save so many of this most adorable breed. If you'd like a great dog, or to help, or just to have a look at some shots of some terrific dogs, here's a link: Staffy Rescue Dogs

As a second footnote:

Note the smart Persol shades worn by the Zapatista ... 24 hours later they were demolished by the said Zappa. Grrrr...
