Beloved Zoe

It is so true, MB. The other day we had a birthday party at work and I mentioned something in passing about Zoe. I rarely speak of her at work now so I could not believe how cold everyone got and quickly changed the subject almost as if she was taboo.:mad: It only drove home what I already knew - I have lost all respect for that company and need to move on.


So I know you will understand: after a weekend of battling a sudden appearance of ants in the house- which we get every few years when we have a super wet cool spring, I sat down finally last night to watch Masterpiece theatre. I love the Selfridge's mini series. All of a sudden Zoe's presence flooded the room. I turned to hubby and said "Zoe's here" Hi Zozo".

Zoe has not come to me in a long time but she came to say hi last night, no doubt in my mind.

Baby girl, love of my live, forever in my heart; you would be so proud of your brother now, he is such a good boy, even on his walks when he sees another dog. Daddy and I still talk about you every day, you are with us every single day in our memories and hearts so you will never, ever be forgotten. You have our love always.

Hi Zoe!

I have no doubt that if you felt her, then she was there. HUGS!

Whether they understand or not, human empathy says that one should be patient and understanding when those who have experienced a painful loss. grrrrrr
Eh, Karma will end up biting them on the tush one day.

love

Hi know exactly what you mean. I said in another post I feel like I have four dogs but only two are physically here. I feel tommy and Tammy around me all the time especially my tommy who left seven months ago. Still miss their physical presence tho.

I am glad you feel her close by, that's so nice.

I think your workmates are like that as I bet it just makes them feel very uncomfortable and they have their own hangups about death and grief they find hard to articulate. Speaking to someone who has gone through such a loss is very hard for some people and rightly or wrongly a coping mechanism many have is avoidance and unfortunately that sounds like the approach they took with you. I bet they feel for you Addy, but some people are just better than others at handling it and talking to others about it. Or else they are cold hard ba******* and you should get your tush outta there pronto!! :D:mad:

Dear Addy
Most people are so ignorant about the precious life of our babies. That is why we band together to validate, love,support each other and our fur balls. We are family,all over the world, small, big, young old, all breeds of dogs.
Don't discount feeling Zoe was there. Strange things have happened to me also. The lose never goes away. As a friend said to me " our babies are always here,because we keep them in hearts until the day we die. "
They leave an in-print on us forever.
Hugs and love Sonja and Angel Apollo

Their ignorance is their loss. Their rudeness has no excuse. Do not let them live rent free in your head for one second. Don't let them bring you down nor let them change how you are. I'll take one of you against ten of them any day of the week and we'll climb mountains together. :)

Love,
Sus

Darling Zoe, it felt so strange not to see your name on my card but I knew it was from you as well, no matter what. You came to visit last on a Sunday so I did feel you with me today. I brought out the beautiful card dearest Sonja made. Daddy and I set it in the living room on the table so we knew you were near.

Koko was a good boy during dinner but he is so quiet:):):)

Grammy came, she has not been here since you died. She misses you too, she loved you so much. Kate is home from college and got a 4 point grade average, Zoe your big sis is such a hard worker. Funny, when we first brought you home the 3 people you liked in the family were, Grammy, Kate and Uncle Jim, the rest you tried to bite. I always thought your first mom must have been an elderly woman with a son and granddaughter and that she must have died or had to move to a home and then you went to a really bad place until I found you.

Darling, I love you with all of my being forever and a day, for always.
ever and ever until the end of time. You will be my best little girl, my heart and soul, a part of me that will only die when I pass on to find you.

Good night sweet girl.

Addy - you are such a wonderful writer. I just read all of this in one fell swoop. I cried and laughed with you - the chicken walk. I always remember you talking about your chicken walks with Zoe and now know what you were talking about. :) Zoe was such a smart, beautiful dog and you were blessed to have each other. Hugs to you my friend :)

I just love reading your posts. Such a great writer.
I can not believe it has been almost 3 months since our sweet Zoe has passed. Even though I never meet her, I still miss her and reading about her. Zoe watch over your Mom and Dad.
Love always Sonja and Angel Apollo

three months

Precious girl I loved you so
my face against the sweet smell of your fur and
the sound of your breath whilst you were sleeping

Little dog I laughed so hard
as you pulled the towel from my wet head or
waited patiently for chicken walks

Darling Zoe I miss you still
our life together, your love and mine
my heart to yours, two souls together

Forever, I remember… My Zoe
