Yesterday our family had to say goodbye to our furbaby Zoie, our baby?of almost 14 years. Zoie came into our lives in 1999 as a little bundle of fur with huge feet. A co-worker of mine at the time brought her into the office after saving her from a busy parking lot where someone had dumped her out of a car and drove off. My co-worker said that if no one wanted her, she would have to take her to the human society because she was allergic to dogs. I quickly called Joe to ask if I could bring her home and being the canine lover that he is, he said yes.
That little bundle of fur grew into a hundred pound ball of energy! She was always timid and loving, hardly ever made a sound. As a puppy she loved to chew on things, mostly her favorite squeaky toy hamburger, but she also managed to chew off a corner of a chair and a hole in the dry wall of our old house. She loved to play fetch and wrestle with our other dog Sadie. We used to joke that the kids could take rides on her because she was so big and strong. Being so large and playful had it?s disadvantages at times, like when friends would come over with their kids and she would get so excited to play that she would hip check people and send them flying. Eventually she outgrew the hyperactivity and settled down to become a gentle giant.
After our other dog Sadie passed away, Zoie started doing endearing things that we hadn?t noticed before. In the morning she would stand at the bottom of the stairs and ?talk? to us. She sounded like Chewbacca from Star Wars, it was her sweet way of telling us she was hungry or had to go outside. At night she would go up and sleep in the boy?s room on their floor or would lay in the hall between their room and ours. She was definitely the faithful protector of her family and liked to be close to us.?Zoie would also lay in my office with me while I worked. She was good company and my office feels very lonely without her.
She was the best dog I have ever had and I miss her terribly. It has been a long few month of her dealing with an ever growing tumor though, so I do find comfort knowing that she is finally at peace, but damn I miss my dog.
