big, happy & handsome!

Author: zubear (Page 3 of 6)

Hi Everyone! I'm Zeus! I'm 4 and I love to stand up and give hugs, but NOT kisses. I'm just a happy happy boy. My family adopted me Nov. 14th 2016- my brother's birthday! I was the best present he ever got. Mommy met me when she took me to an adoption event for the shelter she volunteers at. I was very scared after my family left me there and another person said they were going to be my family, but took me back! Mommy said it was because I was meant to be with her and daddy. Anyhow, I was so scared at the adoption event I just sat in her lap and shook... I'm only about 100 pounds. By the next week I was in my forever home (I told the other shelter pups to try this technique of sitting in volunteer's laps too and think it has worked for a few). Now I have two big brothers and my own bedroom!!! I'm a new tripawd. My parents noticed I was limping at the end of last year and found out I had this thing called Osteosarcoma that was trying to eat my leg! I mean eww! Mommy's friend knew a really great oncologist and surgeon so they went with us and helped us decide on a treatment plan. Thanks to HealthyPaws Pet Insurance I was able to get the best treatment available! Now it's been a few months and all my checkups have been great! They can't believe what a strong guy I am. I don't understand what all the fuss has been about because I'm just the same old Zeus! Now I go to hydrotherapy- they tell me it's to get stronger and increase mobility, but everybody knows physical therapy is for TREATS! I hope you enjoy following my adventures!

My Brother Adopted a Stray Cat

Okay, so I promise I’m going to share my angel signs, but I have to tell you about what my brother Jasper has been up to! So mommy DOES NOT like cats (it’s a loooong story), but she noticed that my brother was watching this one stray cat from the porch and he would whine for her. This went on for months.

Mommy started to wonder if he liked cats. She took him to her friend’s house and introduced him to her dog friendly cats and he was SO HAPPY! He had a big smile and wagged his tail. They couldn’t believe it! He doesn’t like most dogs at all (of course I was an exception because I let him think he was the big boss so he liked me- well he did stinkyface me a couple times- but that’s okay he was mostly nice), but he loves cats!

We have a lot of stray cats in the neighborhood and sometimes horrible things happen like they get run over. Mommy started to see this cat more and more. She could tell her apart from the other strays because she had a short tail. So mommy, daddy,  and my best friend our neighbor started feeding her and she began to come around more. Then after several failed attempts at catching her mommy’s friend finally was able to pick her up and put her in a carrier.

Long story short- mommy named her Jasperella after Jasper and well actually she also calls her Meow Meow, Kitty Poo Poo, Princess Meow Meow and she is now spayed and vaccinated and lives in the basement. Jasper is SOOO proud of himself. Captain… well he’s another story he wants to eat her…  He was doing okay and was actually scared of her and then he decided she was food! So he stays upstairs. Mommy told him kitties are not lunch! Daddy always wanted a cat and mommy said NO WAY! But mommy loves Jasper so much she gave him his own cat and she even learned about litter boxes and cat stuff. Mommy tells Meow Meow she should be very nice to Jasper because he saved her and even lets her have his basement bed. She’s getting more comfortable and comes and sits with mommy and Jasper when they come down. I mean who else has a doggy brother that saves stray cats!? Me I do! ~ZuZu

Mommy got me an updated blog!!!!

Hi Everyone!

Mommy upgraded my blog today so now she can upload photos again! She has been keeping notes of all my angel signs to share with everyone. She is getting ready to take my forever glass pumpkin back to my memorial and bring my new holiday wreath!

Mommy always tells us we can’t go around looking scruffy like we don’t have a home so she likes to make sure my memorial looks the same way. Mommy was going to get my brothers forever glass pumpkins instead of the real ones and daddy said he didn’t think they would like forever glass pumpkins so mommy got our real ones and decorated them last night… but she’s still getting Jasper and Cap forever pumpkins too – mommy spoils us.

I’m Still Around!

Hi Everyone!

So much has been going on and mommy needs to update my blog to get more storage space since she LOVES posting tons of photos. She’s going to give you LOTS of updates about all that I have been up to from the Rainbow Bridge as soon as school is out for the summer… and guess what?! I helped mommy get an awesome new job as a professor (it’s her dream job)! Her and daddy spent so much money to help me and I wanted to make sure mommy, daddy and my brothers have everything they need. Mommy’s new job means she is off in the summers to be with my brothers and no more worries about finances!

So I thought I’d just let you know about my latest angel sign. Last night mommy was watching a vet show and the doggy on the show also had bone cancer and had to have his leg amputated and then it wasn’t long before he was at the Rainbow Bridge with me. Because of the show Mommy was really thinking about me more than usual (which is already almost every minute of the day) when she woke up today. She decided to sleep in a little and then headed to work.

Since she was missing me she played our special song from my boatride the night before I crossed over. While she was playing the song on her phone in the car today she thought to herself (or more like I made the thought pop into mommy’s head lol) what if she turned on the radio and our song was playing at that same moment (I’ve only made the song play twice since I crossed and I always do it when she has changed her schedule and wouldn’t normally be in the car listening to the radio so that she knows FOR SURE that it’s me (I’m a smart boy and I know my mommy).

So anyhow, mommy is thinking, “I wonder if I turn up the radio if me and Zuzu’s song is playing. Then I’d know he is with me because he’s only made it play twice.”

So mommy turns her phone down and turns up the radio… common you should know the rest by now if you’ve been reading my blog… OF COURSE I had the song playing at the EXACT SAME TIME, so as soon as mommy turned her phone down the radio picked up playing the song at the exact same spot. Mommy was in shock, she had to check that it was actually the radio playing and not her phone still. She burst into tears because it let her know that I was with her at the exact moment- as soon as she played the song on her phone, I made it play on the radio.

I was there in that car. Mommy forget’s sometimes that I can go EVERYWHERE now. I keep telling her that I’m ALWAYS with her. I hear her talk to me everyday and I know that more than anything she just wants to hug me and smoosh my big face and give me kisses so I had to come through SUPER powerful for mommy today so she wouldn’t have any doubt at all.

Ps. Don’t tell mommy, but by the time she updates my blog again… she will have another angel story- I’ll never stop finding ways to come through. Mommy’s friend told her that she was my guardian angel on earth and now I’m hers. That’s exactly right. Love you mommy! XOXO

Super Pup Project

Another update! Mommy and her friends decided to give other terminally ill and senior dogs Super Pup photo shoots! Shogun’s gift of Super Zeus Day is going to keep rolling on to others. Mommy started a Facebook page and Instagram account (superpupproject) so people can follow the project and also get involved by donating capes, sharing their own photos of their dogs in capes along with their stories, and spreading the word.

So far two other doggies have had Super Pup photo shoots. Sounder and Cody. Both are senior pups with the same type of cancer and are miracles! Mommy’s friend Sonya and her husband officially adopted Sounder and mommy says his spirit reminds her of mine. She took his water front photos and is his godmommy!

The other pup is Cody who’s dad became homeless and selflessly gave him to a rescue group so that he could get the treatment and love he needs. I bet his daddy misses him so much. Mommy’s friends are going to try and get in contact with him to share his photos so his dad can see he is happy.

Well that’s all for now!

So much has happened!

So much has happened since my mommy last posted! I was in another article! I’m so glad that everyone gets to know how special my mommy and my relationship is. Mommy always says I’m a soulmate. We just love each other so much. Even though we can’t hug each other on earth I still come in her dreams so she can hug me again. She loves when that happens. 

The thing I ❤️ most about mommy is that she is still helping other shelter pups. I saw that there was this boy named Kublai who was really scared like me and he’d also been returned by an adopter and just was having a tough time. Well as soon as mommy met him she could see he was just terrified as it was Clear the Shelters and there were lots of people. He hid in the back of his kennel so mommy got him a teddy bear and blankets and sat with him and talked to him, gave him kisses and snuggled him until he stopped shaking. She showed families how sweet he was (I totally set this up from beyond 😉).

Then when mommy saw his shelter info card she spotted the identical tweety bird that was in my info card photo and knew that I was trying to get a message to her. At first she thought I might have been telling her to adopt him, but I know that mommy and daddy can’t do that right now financially and my brothers are still adjusting to me being at the rainbow bridge.

So she made it her mission to get him the family he deserves. Mommy took lots of photos and videos and shared him on her rescue Facebook page: adropinthedogbowl.

And then one of the families mommy had introduced him to found her rescue page and told her they had adopted him! They had recently lost their own pup Blaze who looked IDENTICAL to him (Blaze also helped with this adoption- he wanted his family to be happy and for Kublai to have his spot and all the love he had). Mommy told them all about me and how I had led her to help him. She asked them if they had given Kublai a new name… boy was she shocked when she got the response-lol. I wanted to make sure mommy knew it was me. They named him Jasper. Jasper is my big brother’s name who made mommy fall in love with dogs and get into rescue.

I wanted to honor my big brother because without him I wouldn’t have had such a great family. Mommy told Kublai/Jasper’s mom she couldn’t believe it and explained that my brother is Jasper. His mommy said that no one else wanted to rename him but she did. She looked up 5 names and the name Jasper just kept coming to her (hmm wonder how that happened lol). She also couldn’t believe it! Who says we are gone- we are never gone- we are always around 😇 I’m giving mommy spirit chills right now as she writes- her sign that something is real/true. And just to top it off Kublai/Jasper’s mom mentioned that he likes to hug. My mom almost dropped her phone when she read that. She had wondered if he hugged like me- something that is not necessarily something all big dogs do 😉- YUP mommy it’s me- I knew that nobody but me knew you were wondering about that.  Xoxoxo
