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.
