ZOEY

 

ZOEY IS 16 YRS OLD AND STILL GOING STRONG.  I AM ALWAYS TALKING  ABOUT HER AS SHE'S THE LAST OF OUR 5 PUGS AND HAS THE ENERGY/STAMINA OF A TASMANIAN DEVIL, BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T LET ANYTHING STOP HER. 

SHE'S BEEN THROUGH 3 GENERATIONS OF GERMAN SHEPHERDS!! 

SHE'S GONE BLIND, AND SHE HAS A BAD BACK(GENETIC DEFECT FROM BIRTH) AND HER REAR LEGS ARE GIVING OUT (SEE PICTURE BELOW) SLOWLY. BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP HER.  SHE STILL EATS, PEES, POOPS, GETS LOUD WHEN SHE IS HUNGRY, AND SHE'S BEEN LIKE THIS FOR OVER 2 YRS.  SHE'S AN AMAZING PUG!  

THE REASON I'M WRITING ABOUT HER IS BECAUSE SHE TAKES UP ALOT OF MY TIME AT HOME WITH WASHING HER, FEEDING HER, AND HELPING HER WHEN SHE NEEDS IT.  SHE LETS ME KNOW.  

SHE HAS A GROWTH ON HER HEAD THAT COULD BE CANCER AND WE'RE TREATING IT WITH CALAMINE LOTION TO KEEP IT SMALL AND IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING, BUT SHE KEEPS RUBBING IT OFF BY BUMPING INTO THINGS BECAUSE OF HER BLINDNESS. 

SHE'S ON ONE CRANBERRY PILL A DAY TO KEEP HER BLADDER CLEAN AND SHE DRINKS WATER WHEN SHE NEEDS TO, AND PEES LIKE A CRACKED HOVER DAM 

I'VE WATCHED HER MOVING ABOUT AND MANUEVERING TO FIND THE WATER BOWL AND HER FOOD BOWL, SHE USES HER NOSE AND SHE KNOWS WHERE TO GO BECAUSE WE KEEP THINGS IN THE SAME PLACE FOR HER,  FOR THAT REASON. 

SHE'S TIPPED OVER THE WATER BOWL A FEW TIMES TRYING TO MANUEVER, BUT GENERALLY SHE KNOWS WHERE IT IS AND HOW TO STAND TO DRINK AND GET HER FOOTING GOOD SO SHE DOESN'T FALL OVER IN IT.  

SHE SOMETIMES NEEDS TO BE HELD AND COMFORTED LIKE WE ALL DO, BECAUSE OF HER BLINDNESS SHE GETS SCARED AND INSECURE, AND ONCE I HOLD HER AND TALK TO HER FOR A LITTLE WHILE, SHE'S OK. SHE'S CALM AND KNOWS THAT WE'RE THERE FOR HER AND EVERYTHING IS OK. 

GOD IS SHOWING US THROUGH HER, THAT DESPITE ALL THAT'S WRONG WITH HER, THAT WE HAVE TO KEEP GOING EVEN WHEN THINGS ARE BAD.  

GOD HAS SHOWN US THAT THE PRESENT TIME REPRESENTS THE PAST, EXAMPLE, WHEN WE LOST OUR LAST GERMAN SHEPARD, AVA, WE WERE AT OUR 20 YRS OF TRISTAN AND I BEING TOGETHER FROM WHEN WE FIRST MET, AT THAT TIME WE WERE DOWN TO ZOEY (FEMALE PUG)AND FALCOR (MALE GERMAN SHEPHERD) THAT WE STILL HAVE NOW.   

WE HAD  10 DOGS AT ONE TIME, 17 IF YOU COUNT ALL THE PUPS FROM WHEN WE MATED MAXWELL AND HEIDI (GERMAN SHEPHERDS) WHO  HAD 9 PUPS AND AVA AND ADOLF (WHO HAD DM) WERE THE PUPS THAT WE KEPT, PLUS WE HAD A ROTTWEILLER/ BLOODHOUND MIX AND THE OTHER 4 PUGS.)))

THE PICTURES ABOVE ARE OF HER AND MAXWELL , THE FIRST GERMAN SHEPARD, SHE TRAINED, GOT ALONG WITH.  

WHEN I MET TRISTAN, HE HAD A FEMALE PUG AND A MALE GERMAN SHEPARD.  HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE???? 

WOW 

SO JUST LIKE THIS, EXAMPLE AND REAL LIFE, THE NEW TESTAMENT OF THE BIBLE REFERS BACK TO THE OLD TESTAMENT OF THE BIBLE, THEY AREN'T SEPERATE, THEY GO TOGEHTER, AND THE NEW TESTAMENT ALWAYS REFERS BACK TO THE OLD TESTAMENT, WITH REFERNECE OF MOSES AND NOAH, AND THE COMMANDMENTS.  

GOD IS REAL AND WORKING IN OUR LIVES, WE JUST HAVE TO BE WILLING TO LISTEN AND SEE AND DO THE FOOTWORK TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO KEEP GOING!!! 

GOD BLESS!!
