"Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring - it was peace." - Milan Kundera (b. 1929) Czech author

In Memory of Dr. Zira
Last year Dr. Zira passed away on March 8 from pneumonia. We adopted her at age 9 and I always feel bad that we were not able to help her more. She was always a shy dog, and never very affectionate. Sometimes she would bat me with a foot for a pet and it was so sweet. She preferred to stay at home and never loved the car rides and walks our others dogs adore. I do feel we gave her best years though, and I miss her sweet little monkey face. I wish every dog could start out life in a loving home so they could enjoy the world fully, but Im glad we were able to give Zira a place to spend her last years in comfort. Here is my favorite picture of my little girl:

So sorry about this sad anniversary, but you sure do have wonderful memories of your sweet Dr. Z. I loved the picture of Tubby and Dr. Z's tongues hanging out. Such a little face to house such a big tongue. So funny.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet face. You can tell she's had a rough past. Thank you for giving her a wonderful last few years of her life :)
ReplyDeleteSome anniversaries we just never forget. Such a sweet little girl.
ReplyDeletepaw prints are on your heart forever.

she is one of the cutest little dog faces i've ever seen! i feel the same way about phyllis, and especially priscilla since she is 8 at least. both came to us in not great shape and sometimes i wish i knew how they spent their first lives (and i want to know who the heck kicks a blind or three legged pug out on the street since they were both strays!) but i like that I can love them as much as I can for their remaining years and treat them like a dog needs to be treated! i bet dr. zira appreciated being in a safe, loving, fun home.
ReplyDeleteI am sure Dr. Zira was happy she got to stay in a loving home. She looks precious with that beardie and that does look like a happy picture.

ReplyDeleteI think it is wonderful that you gave her a warm loving home right when she needed it most. Even though she's gone, at least she knew your love and affection.

RIP Dr. Zira. A tough anniversary, but your memories demonstrate she had the best life she was capable of living. She reached out in the way she was able to and enjoyed the life she was given with you.
