On Friday, October 25th, Amanda, Rocky, and Jett had to bid an unexpected farewell to their beloved Golden Retriever, Zoey. Her passing has left them devastated and heartbroken, as she was taken from them far too soon.
In her brief 8 years, Zoey was showered with love and adventure. She enjoyed endless days at the beach, thrilling boat rides, countless hours in the pool with her tennis balls and float, cozy snuggles, and more treats than one could count. She also embarked on numerous road trips and recently experienced the joy of welcoming a baby brother, whom she adored from the moment he arrived.
Zoey’s departure is a profound loss; she was vibrant and full of life, and her family cherished her just as much as she loved them.
Saying goodbye to Zoey feels akin to losing our Layla, though one was a Golden Retriever and the other a Black Lab. Both dogs shared a love for the beach, the pool, family gatherings, doggie ice cream at night, and especially summer cookouts and holiday dinners. They also shared a deep bond with Andy, Amanda’s Collie, who passed away unexpectedly on Christmas Eve 2021.
Though it is difficult to part with Zoey, there is comfort in knowing that Andy, Layla, and Zoey are together once more, the three musketeers. Run, play, and care for each other until we meet again. We love and miss the three of you dearly.
