Welcome to my dog blog!...even though I'm NOT a dog.


Hello out there. My name is Otto. My mom is animal artist Robin Zebley. She has a website at robinzebley.com where she draw pictures of dogs. She also has a blog where she sits on this computer and writes about animals and her art. Sometimes when she's on this computer, she doesn't seem to remember I'm sitting right next to her...or bringing her my ball. So I figured I'd see what all the fun was about.

I hear I'll get to meet other dogs. I don't know what the word "other" means, but I do know that dogs are creatures similar to me that don't live here or next door. My best friend Chloe is a "good girl", not a "dog", and I am a "good boy". When someone says the word "dog" around me, I look around to see who they're talking about!

Anyway, here I am in my car. Dad's taking me for a ride, yay! They actually bought their new car based on how I would like it. The moon roof is great! It means I get to go out more in the summer. If they park it in the shade and open the moonroof, I stay comfy!

I am almost 10 and for some reason I can't keep up with Chloe like I used to. We like to run around in the two backyards and pretend to fight. We don't really fight. She's younger than me. She's a chocolate lab with beauiful eyes.

I like squirrels, rides, walks in the neighborhood, hikes, every person I've ever met, most dogs, swimming, playing with sticks and balls and toys, playing hide and seek (I always find them), travel, looking out the window, eating human food and going to the pet stores.

People always ask what I am. My mom tells them that I am supposed to be a boxer bullmastiff, but by the way I look, everyone thinks I'm a pitbull with boxer. What do you think?
