Zachariah came to us from Annapolis in 2010. His owners had moved and said they couldn't take him. So sad.
Zachariah already had a grade 2 heart murmur, but he was so sweet. His foster family couldn't let him go, and they adopted him.
His mom adored her little boy.
He was 12 years old, but his heart was worse and he was on medication for that, and for arthritis-- but he kept going as much as he could.
Dogs with heart issues can go into congestive heart failure very quickly and Zachariah died peacefully at his home-- I know he tried hard to stay with his family.
His mom said, "
My sweet Zachariah earned his wings,
he's in heaven running around with Jazzy, Dolly, Dexter & April. I'll miss
my little smushie face-fluffy butt. I'm heartbroken but he passed away
peacefully at home. You've never known puppy love until you've been owned by a
Pekingese." Run free, sweet boy.
What a beauty he was . I am so sad to read this but Zachariah had a wonderful loved filled life in the end.
ReplyDeleteThat's the truth...you've never known love until you've been owned by a Peke. I & the one on my lap send our condolences to Zacariah's mom & family. May he run free with my babies as well.
