Zoe

[3muttsandaboston]

Zoe unfortunatly had a birth defect where her rib cage was only 1/2 the size it should be. It was also twisted and deformed. So much so that if she layed down the wrong way she had a hard time breathing. You could see her lungs and heart moving. The vet said that he couldn't believe she lived with it like that. All it would have took is one hit or a twist in the wrong way and she could puncture a lung. I'm pretty sure this is what happened to her. Thursday night she was coughing and hacking I was planning on taking her to the vet Friday morning. I woke up at about 6 am friday morning and she was laying in the bed right beside me se looked up at me and licked me in the face. I figured I could get a couple more hours of sleep so I went back to sleep. When I woke up again at about 9:30 she wasn't in the bed anymore I had to look all over the room for her and she was right there on the floor dead with a pool of blood and foam under her mouth. I don't know what happened to her or what was wrong she has been coughing a little these past few days but nothing serious. I was mortified when I found her... I couldn't even look at her...My dad came home from work and buried her for me. Zoe was my heart dog. She was so special to me I can't even describe the pain i'm going through right now. Zoe was about 8-9 years old. She was found at a year old abused skinny and she had just raised a litter of puppies. She was so scared of hands at first she would drop to the ground and cry when you lowered your hand to pet her. She was over that and seriously the sweetest most loving dog in the world. She wasn't a purebred or even a cross of two breeds. She probably had about every thing there is in her. She was always there for me. If I was sad she seemed to know and she would just sneak up into my lap and lay her head on my shoulder. I wish I had her right now to do that for me. and I wish I would have stayed awake when I woke up at 6. Zoe will never be forgotten by me or any of my family my entire family is very upset by this even my tough dad who I have never seen cry my entire life cried. Thanks for reading...
I would just like to share some pictures of my special girl.

I'm so sorry about Zoe. :( She is healthy and happy playing at the Rainbow Bridge. It is very hard to lose our furbabies, it hurts so much. Time will ease the pain a bit. You will always have your memories of Zoe. She will always be with you, in your heart. {hugs}

I am so very sorry. I do know the feeling very well. I lost my heart dog last November. I know you feel guilty about going back to sleep. Please try not to, though. She knows you did everything in the world for her. Look at all the love you've shown her. She lived a long life full of love after she found you. You made it possible for her to not be afraid to be touched. There will always be an empty spot in your heart for her, I know. She's now whole and pain free, waiting until you can reunite.

[Daisy and Delilah]

How heartbreaking for you. I'm so sorry. I think she gave you a kiss to tell you goodbye and thanks for everything. She knew heaven needed a new angel. What a beautiful girl you were Zoe :(

Rest in Peace Sweet Angel and play hard at the bridge. :(

My heart has dropped. I have only known you and your girls for a short while, but here I sit in tears as if one of my own has passed. I am so sorry she had to go. I am sure she was needed at the bridge for an important duty - she will be waiting there for you to love and care for her again.

You've shown her love and thankfully, she was loved until the end. Thank You.


R.I.P. Zoe, run free at the bridge...

She was such a beautiful girl and I fell in love with her when I first saw her in the pics you posted. my thoughts are with you and your family and your other pups. I am sure they miss her as well. :(

Beyond The Rainbow

As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.

I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.

I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.

For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

I missed this yesterday, I'm so sorry this happened! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. She had a wonderful life with you and she knew she was well loved.

Run free little Zoe, and watch over your family. They will really miss you.

I am so sorry to see this. :( Although I haven't had a chance to know any of your girls that well, it has always been Zoe's face (nose) at the bottom of your signature that has always grabbed my heart. I agree that she woke you up to give you a kiss good-bye. {{{Hugs}}}. Thanks for taking such good care of her for the short time that she was with you. RIP Zoe.
