Dear Addy
It sure sounds like Zoe is guiding her little brother to keep doing and remembering her. Zoe is here. Love reading about Koko keeping the tradition. I just can here Zoe saying "Koko get those potatoes! I taught you how to get them,so do it!"
Hugs Sonja and Angel Apollo, and his little brother Arial.
I know, Sonja, Zoe was always so kind to Koko, always looked out for him until she was too sick to and then he looked out for her.
The two of them were pretty special; they had such a wonderful relationship. I love looking at the photos of the two of them together, to remember the bond between them.
My brother has stepped up to the plate and mom's party will be at his house next Sunday. He wanted me to be able to enjoy the day too. He said it is always Mom's birthday and I never celebrate the day for me. I told him I did not mind that but he insisted we have the party at his house. I am taking Koko with me.:D:D:D:D
I know he will be a good boy.:):):)
Yay brother! :) I'm glad he stepped up and that you and your mom will both be able to enjoy the day. (and Koko too :) :) )
love

I am so glad to here about your brother doing it. Let your family take care of you. Don't be surprised if Zoe is watching over Koko. He is such a blessing for you and in his own way a part of Zoe is always with him. Be gentle with yourself.

Hi Addy-I too am glad to know brother came to his senses without you having to use force.:D As we will be traveling and I may not get a chance, I wanted to let you know I'll be thinking of you on Saturday and hoping that the party is absolutely wonderful. You said this was her birthday party, right? Doesn't someone else have a birthday coming up? Is it the same day? Can Koko have a bite of cake? Take pictures!!
Love,
Sus :D
Hi Addy,
Thinking of you, hubby, darling Zoe and sweet Koko.
Sending tons of love and hugs your way. I know how hard this is.

Brother finally stepped up. Yeah!!!!!
Happy Birthday to mum. I hope that you all enjoy the day!
Koko too of course.
Addy:
Thinking of you and hoping you have some joy come into your heart on your mom's special day. Blessings.

My birthday is the same day as my mom's but we usually just call it mom's birthday and I celebrate it another day which really doesnt bother me. This year I told hubby I would rather not celebrate it another day, just have the one party.
We are both struggling a bit this week as neither one of us feel like celebrating anything right now. Hubby would always buy a birthday card for me from the pups. He said every time he goes to get one he starts crying and has to leave the store. I told him it was okay and he did not need to buy cards for me this year.
It is freezing cold again this morning 12 degrees so Koko and I could not walk. Last night I went to get a jewelry box off the shelf and found Zoe's plastic hamburger. Koko insisted on having it and held it and went to bed with it.:rolleyes: I had forgotten we had put it away the year she waas chewing her paws so bad as we were afraid she would chew up the soft plastic.
Such an impact this little fluffy dog from animal control had on our lives. She was our world and I have to remember hubby is grieving too. He loved her so. Zoe was our Kate in a minature, fluffy coat, I think.
My lap top is totally wacked out and I cant seem to get tech support to fix it. It takes forever to open things and I have high speed Uverse. It is driving me nuts because so often I cant wait and end up not being able to use it.:(:(
Stay warm and let's all hope for spring this weekend!!!
Dear sweet Addy
Wish we could ease your pain and hubby's, but no one can. All I can say is each event without Zoe will be tough for now and like you said Zoe is always there because she was every part of your celebrations, life. Little acts will trigger the lose. Koko was taking apart of Zoe with him when he took the toy,smelling her presence.
Grief can be draining. But it is better to have loved as deeply as you do for Zoe than not to have taken that chance. Just think of the joy,the laughter,the love you would have missed not having this precious little girl in your life. We love so intense that it is only natural to grief to the extent we do. It has been over a year and a half and I still grieve. When Apollo was so sick,Mom got me a card for my birthday from Apollo saying he wanted to be here for me and thanked me for being his Mom.
You can still put Zoe's name on the card keeping her memory close to your heart,I still do. Don't discount your feelings. It shows how much you love her.
Hugs Sonja and Angel Apollo
