ZEUS
In loving memory of Zeus
It's hard to put into words how much my boy Zeus, meant to me. Still means to me. And will always mean to me. I had always wanted a Great Dane so I had casually been looking on adoption sites, craigslist, etc. I opened Craigslist one day and there he was, just waiting for me. We hopped in the car and drove about 30 min, met him, and he jumped in our van. First stop was Petsmart, then home to get acquainted. It was like he was always supposed to be ours. We were his 3rd home in 19 months. He got too big for his first owner, second owner had to get rid of him due to a divorce. Poor, sweet boy. I promised him I would be his last. He was more than just a dog, he was my soul dog, and I was his person. There will never be another like him. He brought so much love, happiness and meaning to my life. He was crazy at first, literally dragging me on walks to meet other dogs, barking at every single squirrel, stuck to me like velcro. So much so that he would curl his entire self onto the bathroom rug while I took a bath. And at 150 lbs and 39 inches at the withers, that was a lot of dog to fit on a small bath mat! His favorite adventure was our road trip from Wisconsin to Texas. South Padre island to be exact. He got to visit his first Buc-ees gas station and ride on a golf cart while we were there. The best part though, was running fast and free in the ocean and sand dunes. I'm positive he was actually smiling! Pepperoni pizza was his favorite food, followed by Culver's chicken and fries. He also loved peanut butter and greenies. He loved his bed, which was a twin mattress, and spent alot of time there, even before the arthritis took over his regal and strong body. He loved car rides where his loose, jiggly jaws would flap in the wind. He also drank just like a horse, and as messy as that was, I'd give anything to wipe his face and kiss his snout again. I will miss his head hugs, his beautiful eyes, his loyalty and friendship. But most of all his presence. I thank him for 8 wonderful years. He made those years so much better by being our boy. I hope I gave him a good home, a good life. I hope he knows how much he was loved. I will never get over his loss. He was beautiful. We love you Zeusy, and will miss you forever ~Mom
