Zoe By My Side- Our Journey with Cushings

Hey! How about a group Hug?? Wings and all? We can place hubby in the middle and squish him until there is no doubt.
Then can we just teach him how to log onto the site so he can just read thoughts about Zoe? Or see the candles? If we wrote down a few notes to remind him, it would not be too hard. It would certainly be worth the time.

Your Monday is almost 1/2 over. I hope some of the sun we are having here is also there. Sun coming down from the skies just seems to warm the soul. After some time has passed, remind me and I will tell you what someone said to me the day after my first dog had to be euthanized. It's the stuff that makes us stronger.

Treat yourself gently. You've been through a lot.:)

Love,
Sus

Her IMS just called me at work to tell me she and the whole staff at the clinic was shocked and sad when they read the report from the Grafton clinic. She thought I had done the hardest thing for me but the kindest thing for Zoe. She spoke along time to me on the phone and I could hear tears in her voice .
She spoke of everything I had done to help her. How I did more for Zoe than any patient she ever had. She asked me to remember Zoe and why I did those things. Remember who she was as my dog. She said she has never had a patient as long as Zoe and how she will miss us.
Now I am sitting at work trying not to have a melt down.
Breathe in, breathe out Addy and remember how brave Zoe was every day of her life.

Dear Addy
WHAT you and hubby are going through is normal. You both are still in shock. The human society has grief classes for the lose of a pet. Maybe you can find one in your city. For me I needed to talk about it. The cemetery in San diego had a little chapel and we had a little memorial for Apollo to honor him. Zoe was your family and most people don't get it. Take the day off if you can. You and hubby need to just let the feelings out. Talk,write.
Maybe you could copy part of your thread and paste for your hubby to read,not just the bad but Zoe's triumphs,the love,the support,the laughter.
I took pictures of Apollo and made a collage, I also took clippings of his fur before he was cremated!and his paw prints for hubbies office! Mom and myself,and made the video which I look at a lot. I read a book on pet loose. but for so many I wanted to cry,and talk about my lose and had no one other than hubby to talk to which made both of us cry. I wrote a lot about my anger,grief and wrote to Apollo a lot. I held his bed and blanket a lot and still do.Addy you don't have to do this alone. Even I have been depressed since hearing about Zoe's death. She was our Cushing hero,showing us all how to be strong,brave ,endure and still have joy,laughter during it all.

I am hear to support you so do not be afraid to ask for help.
We love more,hurt more,grieve more when we have a Cushing baby.

Here at work with tears running down my cheeks as I was reading the thread. how your IMS is going to miss Zoe so much, I was thinking of the vet tech, that was her special tech, I'm sure that there are many tears being shed for Zoe all across the earth.
Your dear hubby who will feel this loss so much today while he tries to make it through the day. We are with him, we are thinking of him and sending prayers for him. Wrapping him in k9cushings angel wings and you to Addy. Neither of you are alone through this very very hard time.

sending love

Awww how nice of her to call you Addy and to recognise all you have done for Zoe. We all know you would have gone to the end of the earth if it would have helped your girl!! I hope this helps you realise you could not have done more. Zoe and YOU have had such an impact on all of us including your veterinary staff, how could she not the little darling :) Hope hubby and Koko are managing OK on this first work day.

Have you managed to get a half day? I hope so xxxx

I am pleased she called and spoke to you and that she did clearly care as I don't think she often gave you that impression

Hope you all got through your day ok.

More tight hugs. We love you guys. xxxxx

Made it through the day. Heading home now to the first time after work with only Koko in the kitchen. I hope he is ok.

Hubby made it through nap time because someone comprised one of our credit cards and the the bank called. Blessing in disguise again I guess bad news taking your mind of grief:rolleyes:

will post later. thank you all.

crap about the cc card, ticks me off. never had that happen before.

Sorry to hear that Addy.

It does annoy me, get a job, don't rob from hard working people.

Hopefully Koko will be just fine, drive safe xxx

I drove the speed limit;);)

Koko is fine, too bad it so cold, we could have taken a walk.

Will feed him now. No hurries anymore, no pills to take by a ceratin time.
