Zeus Spychalski

Zeus Spychalski-Kjell passed away on Wednesday, April 19th, 2023 after being diagnosed with double kidney failure. He was ~12 years old.

Harrison Kjell adopted Zeus the moment he met him after meeting his original owners in Janesville WI. I should say that he adopted me. He went right with me when I met him and hopped right in my car like it was his own. At first he had separation anxiety and would chew up stuff around the house but eventually got used to me working most of the day.

He was a big fan of long walks, fishing trips, and of course CAR RIDES ! Zeus had the magical ability to capture the hearts of anyone he met. His beautiful brindle coat and stoic demeanor was impressive. He loved to wear himself exhausted with play and then would immediately love to snuggle up and sleep as soon as you laid down or sat on the couch after. He was an exceedingly patient dog and friend. For more than 12 years he let so many into his life. When I was unable to care for him any longer I let my brother Austin and his Mother Michelle adopt him. They cared for him in the second half of his wonderful life and cared for him like any great family members would. He loved to go on long walks with Austin and Michelle as well as keep them company on any given night in Loves Park. He was a great friend to Carter and Morgan as well. His loyalty never wavered and he watched their home like a hawk and always alerted them of potential intruders. But one of his favorite things was when Michelle would sneak him a treat or people food behind Austin’s back. Eventually his diet was upgraded by his new mom to meals of cooked chicken, rice and vegetables prepared by his mom, Michelle. 

He was a beautiful, friendly dog that never bit or scratched. But His bark was audible throughout the whole house, especially at night, when he thought he had to go to war for his family. The house is too quiet now without him, and his cuddles and vibrant attitude of love and gratitude will be sorely missed. We're glad to know that he's happily chasing down tennis balls and playing in Heaven, and no longer in pain.

Our princers, there is so much to say about him. He was the biggest attention seeker, when he would want your attention, he would smack you with his paw until you gave him love. He was a very stubborn old man, but he loved with his whole heart, all the time. He was our big fat butt <3
