Time4ANap Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Zoey is actually a Weimaraner who lives on the next street. She has been besties with every greyhound we've had. We made her an honorary greyhound years ago. Zoey would come to our front door and bark to let me know she was there, just in case I wanted to bring her a Milk Bone. She also trained some other neighbors, and when their garage door was up, she would enter the garage, bark, and wait for them to open the kitchen door. She would then go to their treat jar and wait to be served. We first met Zoey 9 years ago while Rocket and I were out for a walk in our new AZ neighborhood. Both of them wagged their tails at each other and as we met our new neighbors, the dogs hit it off. As Zoey walked away to head home, she turned her head and watched Rocket the whole way until she disappeared around the corner to go to her house. Even her owner was laughing and said "I think Zoey has a crush." Rocket and Zoey were always ecstatic to see each other and would hang out with each other patiently while the humans stood there and talked. They would also walk together when the timing of our walks was right. Petunia was also good friends with Zoey. Each of our dogs got to know Zoey and would pull to go and see her if we were out for a walk. Today I had a phone call from Zoey's mom asking if I could help get her into the car to go to the E-Vet. When I got there, Zoey was having a seizure. She continued to seize during the ride. Based on her medical history and age, her Mom knew that it was time to make the decision that none of us want to make. She passed peacefully with her Mom and I petting her. Her dad is on a trip overseas, but was able to be there on Facetime and talk to his girl. That was rough. Run-free, Zoey. I'm sure that Rocket and Petunia will be there show you around.

FiveRoooooers Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 What a wonderful grey ghost to have had as a friend. Zoey sounds like quite a character and the kind of neighbor I wish we had more of.

Condolences to everyone who knew and loved Zoey. She sounds like a lovely dog. I am sure Rocket and Petunia were thrilled to see their friend again. Extra French fries for all at the Bridge tonight!

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
