Our Beagle Viva Departed to Paradise Today, 3/4/17

This First Saturday, 3/4/17 our beloved beagle Viva departed to Pet Paradise at age 13 years and 10 months, the equivalence of almost 98 years old for humans. She was very loyal, loving and fun. Grateful for her life with us. We buried her at the grounds of Alagad ni Maria Seminary in Antipolo, where we also buried her first daughter Zsazsa in Nov.17, 2015.

Viva came to our life on May 10, 2003. She has been a special member of our home. She birthed 6 pups in 2006 and 4 of 5 in 2008. From the first litter we retained the eldest, Zsazsa who preceded her in Nov. 2015. From the second we retained Nova, who remains with us.
