Beloved Zoe

Oh faithful friend sit by my side and dream of younger days
When white coat was thick and soft, not sparse and thin
Your eyes not fogged with age.

Oh faithful friend sit by my side and dream of younger days
When legs danced in circles, not stiff with pain
Your voice a whisper now.

Oh faithful friend lie with me now for just a few more days
Spring nears, rain falls, tears of sadness
As you slip, slip away

Oh faithful friend, my broken heart for all the coming days
Come to me in my dreams
Always now a memory

Oh faithful friend, my love
My Zoe

Hi Zoe. Hi Addy. Sleep tight. Cuddle. Spoon. Just be as one, at peace.
Love,
Sus

Hi Baby Girl Zoe,

It is almost summer and I keep looking everywhere for you. You did come to visit again the other night. All of sudden your spirit flooded the room and I said "Oh, Hi Zozo" without even thinking until I realized you were not really physically there.

We are taking your brother patio dining today to Port Washington. remember how you loved to go there? Remember when they kicked us out of the patio because you barked at the server? And do your remember on Zoe days how we would go to Starbuck's patio with the clicker and chicken treats to practice so we could try patio dining again?

We try to do these same things with Koko, Zoe, in your memory, but it is just not the same. We take him to Sendicks to look at people like we did you and we take him for car rides and places to walk, just like we did every weekend for Zoe Day.

Darling, I don't think I will ever stop crying over you. I asked Daddy, how can someone miss a little dog so much?

Just wanted to come to tell you it is summer now and the long, cold winter is gone, washed away with the change of seasons, washed away by my tears over you.

I love you so very much Zoe and I miss you so very much every day.

Dear Addy
Understand all to well,how much you miss sweet Zoe. She will always be in your heart and soul. Your writing is so beautiful and moving to read. The poem to Zoe was so moving.
Love,hugs Sonja and Apollo

The yellow raincoat lay on the chair near the back door. I stopped for a moment, seeing it. It is so you, dear little one. I remember it was pouring the other morning, raining so hard, I brought it out to put on Koko. He hates coats, only one he will wear is his old ragged puppy coat, hardly fits him anymore.

I had thrown the raincoat on the chair after we came back inside, I just forgot to put it away. Tonight, there it was.

I sit now, with it clutched to my heart, holding it dear, as it was yours, Zoe. I smile, not cry, remembering.

Always in my heart.

love you so,
mama

How beautiful.

Darling Zoe,

We hit the 4 month mark, I had a few bad days and then I realized why. That I have now live for four months without you seems impossible.

We cleaned the pool today; your brother sitting on his lounge chair, watching. Daddy and I remembered how that first summer you fell in the pool in the shallow end. Daddy has the grill going and we keep looking at the back door, expecting to hear you bark. You always engaged us so much. We loved that about you.

Koko goes for his annual tommorrow night. Watch over your brother for me darling. Keep an eye out from heaven, ok? I'm alittle scared to take him in. I guess I am just gun shy now.

Love you more than words can say, little one. Miss you every single day.

Beautifully said.
Hugs Sonja and Angel Apollo

You need to be strong!
