Statix Zombie Howard passed away on May 10, 2018 with his Mom and Dad by his side.  Zombie put up a hard brave fight against Cancer.    We fell in love with him the moment we saw him with his golden red fur and big floppy ears.  He was a clumsy puppy who enjoyed destroying one of each shoe, power cords, and cell phones.
