Farewell, Zoey, our smart & lovely dog

Zoey, we will miss you!

Zoey was born from two breeds, a dachshund (dad) and a labrador (mom). She arrived in our house sometime in December 2011 It was actually a gift to Geof on his birthday.  But it's Julia who's grown more attached to her.
Zoey watches the house diligently, always alert for strangers. However, she hates loud fire crackers. During the New Year when fire crackers are noisiest, she trembles and insist on hiding inside the house. She gave birth to puppies - Seria, Mojo (+), Rango, Jupiter and Hachiko (+). Before she left us, she was pregnant with who knows who (maybe Oreo - the puppy of Seria). We really don't know when the event happened. :-)

Zoey always greets me in the morning waiting for her prize of bread or chicharon. He is the smartest dog in the house. We will miss you Zoey! :-(

"The look you gave just as I was about to leave this morning (22 Feb 2017)... I was arranging for a homecare for you - dextrose and all. I know that a liver desease in dogs is fatal, having lost 3 dogs already just last year, including my best friend Luna. Still, I was banking on your strong constitution and will to live. But the desease is treacherous and cruel. It didn't even give us the chance to say goodbye. Goodbye my baby. I will terribly miss you." - Apple

Zoey, may lahing Dachshund at Labrador

Regalo ka para kay Geof na napamahal kay Julia

Sa garahe, isa kang bantay na matapang at siga

Subalit takot na takot sa paputok at iba pa

Nagbunga ka ng limang masisiglang tuta

Mojo, Rango, Princess, Hachiko at Seria

Mga alagang tunay na nagbigay na ligaya’t tuwa

Maraming salamat, patuloy pa rin ang aming saya
