This is so fun — ZEUS has sent us his own update. What a talented boy! But first, here is Baby Zeus with his brothers and dad, Major.

“My apologies for the belated update! Life is busy for me with a 15-month old to follow around these days...
I know they say to nap when they nap but I also have to stay on guard for the trash truck, mail carrier, Amazon driver, FedEx, UPS or anyone else who may try to drive through the neighborhood. It's exhausting.
Carol started walking a few months ago so it's really important to keep up with her and make sure she doesn't need my help with any of her yummy snacks. When she sits in her high chair I am right there to catch anything that may be dropped or hung off the side. Vigilance is key. I also have to clean up her face, hands, and shirt when she makes a mess- it's a dirty job but someone has to lick it up!
Grandma comes over to play when Mom goes to work so we spend a lot of time together. Luckily, I'm a huge help with Carol. She is a good buddy. Carol does take my toys and she will try to eat my food sometimes, but more often she feeds me one kibble at a time. She also plays in my water bowl and while I allow it, I don't think Mom appreciates it much. I have become very skilled at detecting stinky diapers and alerting the authorities.
This year we did lots of fun things as a family.
We love to go hiking, play with bubbles, play fetch, paint, and take naps!
I'm pretty much up for anything...did I mention naps? My all-time favorite (besides naps) is taking my family for walks in the neighborhood. I'm definitely still Mr. Congeniality. I also got a new neighbor on the other side of the fence. We decided we should be friends and made a pact to alert each other to any squirrels, deer, rabbits or delivery drivers that come around- the agreement is working well.
My buddy Raymond graduated from 6th grade this month. I tried to wake him up for school every morning but we'd really rather just snuggle. Ada graduated from 3rd grade. When she comes home from school I can tell she needs to go outside and blow off steam by playing fetch. So I tried my best to stay on top of that all year. It's important kids get plenty of exercise! They're growing up so fast.
When I'm not taking care of my pack, I love laying down on the cool tile in front of the fireplace. I'm always there at the top of the stairs to greet everyone with a wagging tail when they come home. And I'm definitely ready to head to bed at bedtime. Sometimes I have to bark to remind everyone its bedtime. My spot is right next to the bed on Mom's side so I know if she gets up.
It's been a great year. The pack keeps me busy but I have a job to do. So we play hard and nap harder. From me and my pack to yours: Happy Birthday Wildflowers! We wish you the best naps, treats, and adventures this year and always!”

Thank you Zeus (and Penny, Caleb, Raymond, Ada, and Carol) and HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZEUS!!!!!
