I find it so touching to see a photo of that sweater, (which is adorable) and see that it's named for Zoe! That is just so sweet and it warms your heart to think of other dogs who need to keep their bellies covered wearing the adorable Zoe sweater!
I think that through speaking with you the woman in Turkey just felt the love...and she was touched by the bond you had with Zoe too, thousands of miles away. A very sweet thought indeed!

Awwww a Zoe sweater. She is such a superstar... it's like the "Birkin" bag! I wonder who many dogs are walking around toasty warm in the "Zoe" :D
I am pleased to read you are recognising the stages of grief Addy, as you know and have advised others in the past it is quite normal to dwell on the "what if's" for a while. You know you did everything you could and under the circumstances you had to at least try to get treatment for Zoe, but it was not to be and you made the hardest choice of all. If I took a holiday I could think of no one better than you to take care of him and would not hesitate to ship Flynn to Milwaukee as I know in your loving tender care he would be the best looked after dog in the world, just as Zoe was!! He would get to frolic in some snow too!! :D
I hope tomorrow gives you some peace with her return to your home, she has never left your heart but it will be good to have her back in the place she loves best. xxxxx
I forgot something!!!

Thinking of you all today, with love.

Zoe is home where she needs to be and it gives me peace and the closure I needed. I had to bring her home. I think hubby now understands that. I saw a silver music box I am going to buy and have her name engraved on the top of it. I will keep some of her ashes here in her silver music box.
She came to me last night in my sleep; beautiful and clean and happy and strong. We dropped Koko off at the groomer. I did not want to go and remember the hope I had just a short time ago when I took Zoe there to have her paws cleaned, clipped and nails trimmed. But they all hugged me and cried with me and it was ok.
Koko is doing ok and I am ok.
I have to run Koko out sorry it is so short.
Hugs Addy. I am so glad that Zoe is home and that your heart feels peace to know she is there. Even better that she visited you in your dreams, full of life and good health.
What a lovely sentiment about the music box. I think that is a wonderful idea.
Awww, everyone loved Zoe. I cannot imagine any that would not cry for her loss and miss her.
hugs Addy, I hope you had a good walk with Koko.
love,
Sharlene
Big sigh of relief here to read your is back home where she belongs. I am so pleased it is giving you relief to have her back close to you all. I too love the music box idea, made me laugh your stories of dancing in the kitchen with the radio on the oldies channel and Zoe hopping about! So that is very fitting for our girl. Plus she is still an honoury member of the Protein Pup Band so music is in her soul :) Hope your walk with Koko was nice and not too cold for the wee fellow! xx
Addy:
Such beautiful thoughts, and ideas for Zoe. I think of you both every day, and hope you are somehow getting thru this. Blessings

Dear Addy
Zoe is now at peace. The music box is beautiful. Funny, Apollo so loved to listen to music boxes. Koko will feel her presence. Don't dismiss,signs from Zoe. I was crying and thinking of Zoe and Apollo when Bet Medler sang You are the wings beneath my feet and I keep thinking about Zoe when I hear the Bruno mark song.

Well, then I think Zoe did just send me a sign because the music I want to order- you are able to pick one song you would like - they offer 5-6 songs to choose from. One of them was A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong and for some reason I kept thinking about that song and that maybe I would pick the song for the music box to play but I wanted to hear the whole song.
Well, this afternoon, hubby ran to his office so Koko an I are sitting on the sofa looking at paint chips. We have rooms to repaint now if we wish to get the house ready to sell. I love my home, love it's memories but with my injured arm and hubby's arthritis, our age, we just cant take care of this place ourselves anymore nor could we even afford it once hubby and I retire. Too much enpensive upkeep with all these trees and land, the pool, oh the pool, I should have buried it. Yikes, dont get me started about Little House in the Woods.
Anyway, I was sitting here and I thought about Trish reminding me about Pandora and how I have not turned it on since Thanksgiving when everything started to go wrong. So I picked up my I phone to turn on Pandora and there was Louis Armstrong singing Its A Wonderful World.:) It was the very first song. When I turned it on it just started playing.
I think Zoe picked her song for her music box.:):):)
