I know how you feel my Dad isn't an animal lover at all and isn't the talking type either. I would just leave him a note maybe and say I know you were not happy with Zoie coming along, but I hope you understand how much she means to me. I appreciate your patience with US and love you for letting her stay here too. I usually write how I feel to my Dad since that is seems to be the best way to get his attention. Good luck and give Zoie a lot of love
