Zeta has been officially pulled by Friends FUR Life K9 Rescue. We are so excited to be fostering for them and look forward to getting Zeta's training started ASAP!
Now here's a creepy picture:

Best baby Brian
I cannot stress how awesome this kitten is. He is super affectionate, fun and funny. He's a total goofball and snuggle monster. He follows his family around (dogs and people) and gets downright upset when he's left out. He slipped out with the dogs the other night and no one knew until we heard him crying in the front yard. Everyone had run to the back and he was crying because he was left all alone.
He's learned to play well with the dogs, though he may be ruined now and think that all dogs are his friend. We have a habit of raising very friendly, very stupid boys that will run up to strange dogs without thinking that they may not be immediate BFFs.
He has come such a long way and will make some very lucky family very happy. He will likely be having his neuter surgery next week, after which he'll be ready to go HOME! Don't miss out!

Family visit
My dad and grandma came to visit us for the weekend. I was a bit worried at first because Zeta can sometimes take a while to warm up to people, but of course I needn't have worried.
They got The Rules before they came in the house and actually followed them, so no one got muzzle punched (sorry, Mom). It seems that her main triggers for punching are eye contact and bending forward, usually but not necessarily together. I also worried that their difficulty standing up (resulting in a lot of bending forward and rocking motions) would cause reactions but, again, nothing.
Their heavy-footed walking and occasional stumbling did concern Zeta, but she adjusted just fine, though she never became very comfortable with my dad. My grandma, however, thought Zeta was a riot and the two of them played with a napkin on quite a few occasions without any casualties, including fingers and napkin. I was pretty impressed.
Granny's idea is that whoever had her before greeted her in mean ways, like kicking her out of the way, and that's why she often goes on the offense when someone comes through the door. I don't know about that, but it helped her relate to Zeta and I think that effort put Zeta more at ease. Zeta even did fine with Roxy, Granny's Pomeranian, who wants nothing to do with other dogs at all. It took constant reminding for Zeta, but she showed no aggression, just annoying persistence. They coexisted just fine, though Zeta obviously wanted to be best friends and was happy to keep trying, even after snapping and growling from Roxy. Zeta's not the smartest girl, but she's sweet.
