December 20, 2011 - Rest in Peace, my Baby Boy

So many beautiful years spent with Zoey and it came to a grinding halt on Tuesday, December 20, 2011 approximately 955am.

I miss him so much… Words cant express what my heart is going through. I love him so much. He will be missed.

Guarding Mom

I remember when it seemed like Mom had the toughest time in meeting someone special.
I remember when she'd bring me along on her little pathetic dates with hopes that I would approve.

Each chump didnt stand a chance. They came with their best intentions (or so it seemed) and displayed their best representative of themselves but I saw right through them. She allowed me to determine the fate of each potential suitor...unfortunately, it was to their demise.

Some I was obvious. I would snarl, snap, sometimes leave a little bite mark. Others, I just didnt even give the time of day. While others, I chose to be passive--doggy foul on that one...big time.

My last mistake was with her past ex that she was with for about 3 years.

What a moron I was for allowing it to last as long as it did. I remember my Mom being miserable with this guy and yet, she and I tried to see the good in this person. Sometimes we saw it, but more often than not, we saw the negativity. We saw nothing but bad news for our future.

I remember biting him under the covers in bed. I bit his balls. He was sooo pissed off. Mom laughed (she punished me to appease him but I know deep down inside, she was thanking me for showing him who's boss).

The day we left him was the beginning of our lives (mine and mom) towards a happy and brighter future.

She dated 2 guys after that jerk. They didnt work out (good guys--just very wrong timing) but it was for the better because she later met and fell in love with my new Dad.

His name is Domonic. He's great. He loves me soo much--as much, if not more, than Mom! And I love him, too!

I am so happy that we found him because now I can rest easy. I don't have to guard Mom as much--that's Dad's job.

Now, I can kick back, relax, and live a dog's life!

Yo Quiero...

Ay Caramba! That gorgeous B**** walked by the house again.

Why must she snarl? Why the stink eye, Bonita?

Don't you know I am El Zoey--el Perro Romantico?! Ladies from far lands dream of me to come take them away to vast dog pastures. They dream that I will dig a hole for them and bury a special treasure for them and them alone.

And yet, I only long for you.

Ay, my beautiful one whose name I know not. Even though you tower over me like a skyscraper in Manhattan, I long for the touch of your cold adorable nose. I long to sniff your butt and walk along side you as you're sweetheart.

If only she would look down and focus...maybe she just might notice me.

Losing Someone

Mom's sad over Beth (her coworker) losing a loved one. His name was Linus and was a cattle dog, so I've been told. Linus was a son to Beth and to lose someone so dear and close is obviously difficult.

Mom's afraid about when one day I might end up passing away but Dad eases her mind by saying that I'm still a kid and that I have plenty of years in which to charm her!

I know she's being paranoid but I know she loves me a lot.

Where the Heck Do they Go?!

I just don't get it. One minute, Mom and Dad are here. The next, they leave and are gone for like a week?

I've stayed at their place on the weekends and let me tell you...I have the greatest time with them! We go all over the place--they take me EVERYWHERE!

And do I walk? Oh HECKKK no! I have the luxury of being carried where ever they go. (Yes, I have trained them well.)

But when all seems fine and dandy, they turn around and bring me back to my Grandma's house.

What did I do? Why did they leave? What did I do wrong?

I am getting sick and tired of this merry-go-round, of this playing with my feelings. It's such a downer to have to see them leave me. I miss them so much!
