Beloved Zoe

Dear Addy
Was told Mucinos(not sure of the spelling) helps with mucus. We are so similar. I am slowing down also,having a harder time keeping up,and trying to work until we close the store. Have my own issues with health. Plan next year to sell our townhouse.
In memory of Zoe:
(Those we love don't go away,they walk beside us every day. Unseen,unheard,but always near,stilled loved,still missed and very dear.)
Sonja and Angel Apollo

Good morning, Addy! You are on my mind today, and I just want you to know that warm thoughts and sunny spring breezes are flowing your way from me. :)

I hope you are feeling much better by now! ;)

Love, Marianne

I have asthma and had that bronchitis along with a severe sinus infection a month or so ago. :eek: It was miserable :(:mad: I fought it for a good 2 weeks and than made a appointment with my ear/nose/throat specialist. She put me on Dulera (I am on Aerospan for my asthma), the Dulera replaced my Aerospan until the bronchitis was gone. I felt the difference in my lungs the first day with the Dulera. Hope you are feeling better soon.

Addy, Addy, Addy!! It's Friday... and a super dooper GOOD FRIDAY, which means I am not at work :D:D:D:DHope you get the day off too :D:D:D:D

If you are still sick I hope you have seen a respiratory specialist young lady!!

Hoping you and Koko are getting out and about now your weather has been warming up, been checking your weather and your regularly above zero now! wheeeeeeeeeeeeee, hopefully that will help your chest too.

Big hugs... I am not going to be able to make Vegas after all so we will have to plan some other meet up, some day, some time... you better believe I am going to visit ONE DAY! xxxxxx

Hi Dear Friends,

Thank you for checking in on me. I have been pretty sick with a nasty virus that caused asthmatic bronchitis. Then one of my bosses also had it:eek:

The painter was here for 10 days and the plaster dust and paint fumes caused me further problems. I am still coughing but started my Singulair and am trying to cut back on the albuterol and will switch over to my Advair once I can cope with less albuterol. What a mess:o:o

The house looks good, we painted it two shades of gray and the project just snowballed into a bigger one than we original intended.

Koko Puff fell in love with Mark the painter and there were a few days I thought he was going home with him to be his dog:rolleyes::rolleyes:
Two timer is what I almost called Koko Puff.:):):):) I mean what the heck happened to Mama's boy????

All of this has left me exhausted and I have not been able to catch up with any of you.

Hopefully I will not be so tired. I had to keep going up and down the stairs, moving all of our stuff out of the way so he could paint while I was sick. We still dont have the house put back together.

Happy Spring everyone and I hope to catch up soon.

AWWW Addy, I got your messsage. I am so sorry to hear that you are still feeling so poorly.:o What's this with our little Koko Puff being a traitor?;) Rest as much as you are able and don't worry about us here.

Big hugs and tons of love and healing energy headed your way,
Kathy

Take care of yourself Addy.
Hope you feel better real soon.

Take care of yourself. Koko how could you do that to your Mom!
Our lives are so simular.
Love always
Sonja

Darling Zoe, I celebrated your birthday yesterday by staying home from work, painting woodwork and loving you. It was bittersweet my love. Earlier in the week we had a warm day so Koko and I were outside. He sat on the iron bench as you did while I happily dug in the flower bed. I saw a siver object and l could not beieve my eyes. It was the silver earring I had lost in the bed that second summer you and I spent together over eight years ago.

I have dug in that flower bed a thousand times and could not figure out why suddeny that earring would surface. I took it as a sign from you, something lost, something found.

The house looks very pretty and I still find things of yours. The realtor will do our listing up May. 1st.

I am having a hard time with it. The house has never looked this good, I have worked so hard. Most of all, I won't have your spirit joined to mine, here in this house we both loved.

Daddy says he loves you and misses his girl and we told Jim how you healed Daddy's Carpel Tunnel so he did not need surgery, our little licker cured her Daddy.

We love you darling, baby girl. Happy birthday.

All our love mama, daddy and Kokomo too

Happy belated birthday Zoe

Addy it is good to see you again. Sounds like you have been very busy with getting the house ready to sell. Have you decided where you will move to yet?

How is the bronchitis and asthma? I hope you are feeling better and no linger problems from the concussion either.

Big hugs. We have missed you.

Love

Sorry, I'm late too! Happy Belated Birthday Zo-Zo! Is there any cake left?;)

We miss you Addy! Sending you tons of love and healing energy. I hope you're better!

Hugs,
Kathy

Darling Zoe,

Tuesday we sign the papers to put our beloved Knollwood up for sale.
The realtor said nice things about Knollwood, how unique and lovely it is and that I am selling an experience more than a house. I told her how lovely it looks on Memorial Day.

You have been by my side every step of the way Zozo but tonight I needed to come here to you.

It is harder than I thought, this last tie to you, to let it go.
I can't stop the tears from falling.

Always by my side, forever in my heart my darling. I can't seem to see through the tears to type.

L

Dearest Addy,

This is so hard and I am sure your little pup is watching over you and saying it is okay Mom, it is not the place, it is the love that filled it and you can take it all with you.

(((hugs)))
Terry

I can imagine how very difficult it is to leave that home. In my minds eye, I see all those places Squirt stood, and walked, and rolled, and on and on and on...and to leave those places would be so very hard to do. But, oh, sweet Addy, your precious girl is with you no matter where you lay your head. Those memories of Knollwood will grow more cherished and shining as time passes. Nothing can take that away from you.

Sending you many hugs and strengthening energies as you face this change to your world, one that I am sure will be positive and bring you much joy.
Leslie

Zoe lives in your heart I know that you know that. It doesn't make leaving the place she loved any easier. You love it too there and it is just damn hard this moving on stuff. Maven though you know you want to do it. Are taking steps to do what needs to be done. Emotions often ignore those practicalities.

We've had discussions about selling the house and downsizing too this year. I was surprised I think at how emotional that made me to even discuss it and I still have Molly. But if I didn't. I think it would be even harder to face.

Love.

Dear sweet Addy
Zoey will always be with you. There is no easy way to get through this. This home is part of Zoey.But when you leave remember Zoey will go with you. She will be in your heart and soul.
Next year we will sell our place,the place Apollo grow up in, and I know it is going to be hard.
Hugs Sonja,Apollo and little Ariel

My darling Zoe,

Little Bella is coming to you tonight, I kissed her head and told her to fly high and free, to run to you. I shared my favorite memory of the two of you with her mom and dad. Now don't go bossing her around right away, give the pug a break as she is tired from fighting a good fight.

It is the end of an era, Zoz, both of you gone. I was not expecting her turn for the worse.

Koko did not know her, she was your play date, never his.

Still love my best girl, it is just so hard to look back, Zoe, too hard to remember two heads in the oatmeal bowl or beautiful face at the door

Loving you forever, never forgotten, always by my side

Sorry to read about Bella, loss of a granddog so hard too, especially with those links to the past, big hugs for you all xxx

May sweet Bella rest in peace. Zoe you take Google care of her.
Sonja,Apollo, Karma, Ariel

Thank you, Bella is at peace. She was a good dog and I was happy I was able to share part of my life with her. I can still see her as a puppy, coming to the office for the first time.

I am sure Zoe is bossing her around as usual and Bella is allowing her to. They were about the same height, she was a big pug!

Goodness, Zoe I kept thinking how there would have been no way you were ever able to go to the Delafield Hotel:rolleyes:

But that is ok, we always had Zoe Sundays and papa and I still talk about all those traveling Sunday's, taking rides in the car to find a new place for you to explore.

You always had to be the co pilot and it was the only time I was able to have you on my lap.

Love you forever

Sorry for your loss of Bella. Your description of her as a puppy, coming to the office for the first time, brought back memories of my own beloved dogs who have passed too. Hugs.

Dearest Zoe,

It is October and you are on my mind a lot these days. Koko is fine and loves our new townnhouse. I don't think you would have cared much for it.

Zoe, you were such a huge part of me, so like me. It was like God took part of me and wrapped it up into a little, beautiful dog package.
I looked into your eyes and we shared our souls.

I know I cannot turn back the clock yet I long for just an hour of our lives together before you got sick.

There are no reminders of you here now, not in this new place. We call it the townhouse, we never call it home. It is ok for now. Home will always be that low slung pink stone ranch that glowed with love and happiness in the twilight, holding out its safe harbor to me with your beautiful face at the door.

Love you and miss you just as much today as ever.

Mama

Zoe will always be a huge part of you Addy. Our souls definitely intertwine with theirs. That will never change. She is with all of you, no matter where you are or what you're doing.

I don't know when it will get easier. I am still waiting for that to happen.:o I know that Koko has stepped up and I'm so proud of him for that! Our sweet little boy. What a treasure and a blessing.:p I'm sure that having him with you helps, just like having Rosie saved me, but I realize that it's not the same and will never be so. Our precious heart dogs can never be replaced and really shouldn't be. They were our perfect fit and life feels empty without them.

We will get through this together dear one, like so many others here. Know how much Zoe will always love you.

Big hugs,
Kathy

Dear Addy-

I understand exactly how you feel.
I will say that I think I have had two heart dogs. It can happen.
I am sure it is making it much harder since you had to move. Life moves on.....we must move with it. :)

Love,
Sus

Thank you both for your kind words. Koko has indeed stepped up to the plate. We sold him short Inthink a s he always hung back and allowed Zoe to take center stage.

He is much smarter than we knew and has blossomed into the perfect dog we can take anywhere. He loves to jump up into my arms so he can give me a quick kiss on the ear.

Zoe would be very proud of her little brother, I know, as she taught him well.

I am very thankful I have him.

I had two heart cats. I think Zoe will always be my one and only.

Dear Addy
It is bitter sweet to think about beautiful,brave Zoe. May you be reminded of the good memories. It just is so different know. A part of you is gone with Zoe, and a part of Zoe will always be with you.
I can't believe it has been over a year since Zoe past, 3 years for my boy Apollo, my one and only.
Love Sonja,Apollo,Karma, Ariel

I get a lump in my throat just thinking of Zoe and your beautiful connection to each other. Koko is a special little guy too and I am so glad you have each other.

Home is where the heart is and Zoe is in your heart, so wherever you are, she is there too, always lighting your world with a memory.

Big hugs Addy. I think I just really hate change and a loss is one of the biggest changes of all.

love ya

Oh Sweet Addy,
Your words of love for your Zoe brought me many tears. Some happy some sad because I know where you are coming from...everyone here who has loved and lost a beloved furbaby knows how much it hurts. You and your baby had each others hearts, love and souls. Nothing can ever break that beautiful, cherished and treasured bond.

Thinking of you with a smile and some tight hugs OOOOO.
Love you and Zoe!
Xo Jeanette

Sending love and huge hugs, dear Addy.

I know you all understand and thank you for that. What would I have done without all of you?

That thought makes me cry. But enough of tears. Thank you all so much for rembering my little girl.

Happy Thanksgiving, baby girl. I hope you are chasing rainbows and eating lots of turkey. Two years ago today was the start of the decline. I thought the pain would be less this year but find that terrible ache in my heart.

So in honor of you, feisty darling, I put on my brave face and will celebrate you and all of our Thanksgivings.

Lol, Zozo, it is beyond weird this year and I cant even find a basket for the dinner rolls, I must have given them all away.

But in spite of the newness and strangeness, I count my blessings, my best darling.Your beautiful memory and Our love and bond being one of them.

The rhythm of life continues, just that we now dance to a different beat. Time goes by so quickly, how the dance will change again.

Love you more than I can ever express, my baby girl. Thank you for playing beauty parlor with me and for loving your bows.

Daddy and Koko love you too. Koko is the "popular dog" the kitten next store loves him, the older dog two doors down loves him too, it is so funny. thank you for teaching him so well, my brave girl, always in charge and correcting bad behavior.

Koko won't dance to Golden Oldies, only you.

Forever
Mom

Dear Addy
The holidays remind even more how much we miss them, the rituals we only did with them. Every time I see a dog that looks like Zoe, I gulp and think about her. Our beautiful brave Zoe. Always loved always missed.
Sonja,Apollo,Karma, Ariel

Merry Christmas my darling. If memories were presents wrapped in beautiful paper and ribbons, I would have many under the tree.Miss you so very much, little girl,

Daddy needs you to lick his back to cure him. Remember how you cured his carpel tunnel by licking his wrist everyday?
He didn't need surgery, only your love and healing tongue.

Koko has a case of the itches, I'm hoping it is a lone flea bite, it has been so warm it does not even feel like Christmas.

Kate is finally home, our world traveler. You loved her so. One of the few people you didn't try to bite:rolleyes:

Oh my Zoe, thank you for being my soulmate, love you forever, the pain of losing you overwhelms sometimes to this day.

Have to go my darling.

Love you for eternity

((((((((((hugs!!!))))))))))

In loving memory of Zoe.
Sonja,Apollo

Hugs! As the years pass the holidays become more bittersweet. In the space of only two years, my husband and I have lost three pets. Yet our household is full once again, alive with our toy poodle and three cats. We mourn and we celebrate. May you have a blessed 2016.

Remembering our sweet brave Zoe. Tomorrow it will be the day, Feb 23,2014 that Zoe passed. Always in our heart,and minds. My dear warrior sister,Addy, thinking about you .
Love Sonja, Apollo

Thank you dear sister. It has been up and down with emotions. I tried very hard to tell my brave, strong darling that I would honor her memory with happy thoughts, many endearing memories but an overall sense of loss started a few weeks ago, something I can't get rid of.

Remember, my darling how Koko would hide from the vacuum cleaner and you would attack it?

Remember, my darling how Koko needed help solving his puzzle and you grabbed it, banged it against the stove then tossed it in the air- puzzle solved?

Remember my darling, how daddy would sing "how Zoe comes marching home" to you while you so determinedly pulled him down the street while I trailed behind with Koko?

Remember our chicken walks, our special time just you and me and sometimes the deer would follow us?

Remember beauty parlor and red bows with your red velvet coat?

Remember clicker training and all the tricks you would throw at me?

Remember my laughter at your antics?

Remember my undying love and devotion?

Remember me and what we shared and I will always remember you.

Never to be forgotten, always dearly loved, my very special Zoe, the most beautiful dog I had ever seen.

The most beautiful dog I love and always will with all my heart and soul.

We celebrate your life and remember, beautiful face at the door.

Remember dancing through the house to the oldies. :).
Zoe will always be special to us all but to none more than you our dear Addy.
You and koko and your hubby and mom and Zoe are all family to us and we treasure you.

Joining you in honoring your sweet girl ~ In loving memory of Zoe
