We all loved sharing your “Big 9” on January 1st… and I know you loved your special treats ala Aunt Carol and your buddy, Cooper Couchara. I’m so proud of you for your ladylike behavior and the inner strength you showed over these last few rough days. I’m not sure if you could hear me humming this song to you so I wanted you to check it out, now that you are comfy cozy. Zoey, as I look out our window, there is a sky filled with clouds and a small pocket of the blue sky. Thank you for this reminder that you will always be our sunshine.
Thank you for the love you so generously shared with your brother Andy, your Daddy and me, your proud Momma. Now please get busy sharing those Zoey smiles and your special brand of sass in heaven...I know Granny Sammie, Alvin and Aunt Baby are ready to get to know you. And I know your first Pop, Joe, will enjoy having you with him for the Super Bowl - just like old times. Try to go easy on the popcorn, young lady! I know if you were here you would thank my family and friends for their love, support, positive thoughts and prayers. Rest well, Lady Zoey… We love you always, Daddy and Mom (mar) and Andy too

Oh, Maria - What sad news. You and Geoff offered Zoey a good life, and a dog can not ask for anything better than that. Hugs.

Mar, you have me in tears. I can picture you humming this song to your beautiful girl. I know it filled her heart with even more love than she knew as a Jordan.

What do I say, Sis? Do I joke as normal? I think not. You're hurting and sit here unable to change that. When I was young, back during the Middle Ages, I had a dog I named "Tramp", after the one in the Disney movie that had just come out. He was my friend through good times and bad. When my mother died, he was my listening post and sympathizer. He was always there for me, regardless. As I grew older, he became a "Puff, The Magic Dragon" of sorts. Sports, school politics, a car, a job, and a beautiful girlfriend seemed to replace him to an extent. I moved away for a year prior to going in the military. Yet, every time I went home, he was there, wagging his tail, wanting only some of my attention. A couple of years in the Navy, I took leave to go home. When I arrived, I saw an empty doghouse. My father told me that Tramp had passed and had been buried. He hadn't let me know because he didn't want to upset me. I visited the spot where he was placed and cried my eyes out. Even writing this, my eyes are beginning to tear up. I've had many pets since, mostly cats. My current buddy is Faletame. I know you've seen his picture in some of my posts. He's beside me 90% of the time, vying with my writing for my attention. He'll push my arm with his forehead, stretch out and touch my cheek with his paw, and purr forever while being pet. I know, one day, he too will pass. It breaks my heart. Yet, I believe God did this on purpose, as far as giving pets shorter lives than humans. He knew that there are those that have a tremendous love to give. Instead of giving it to just one pet, he shortened our lives so we can give many a life and love they deserve. One day, we will be the ones to pass. I can only imagine that when we arrive at our destination, you'll see your Zoey, and I'll see my Tramp, both standing there with tails wagging, as well as all the others we been blessed with sharing their love and our love with. Luv ya, Sis.

Sorry, I made a couple of errors. I think emotions took over. It should be "I sit here" for one. Another correction is, "he shortened their lives". Bro made a boo-boo. Sorry.

So sad to lose a furry family member. Zoey does have the bearing of a real lady. My deepest condolences for your loss. But pets do go to heaven. Just as my beloved George took his last breaths, I heard our beloved deceased cats 'meow'. I'm sure they were waiting to greet him.

Oh, Maria! I am so sorry. Your sweet, loving tribute to your beautiful Zoey has left me in a puddle. RIP, Zoey. How lucky she was to have all of you to love her!

We all hope that day will never come for our beloved babies. My heart breaks for you as you grieve over the loss of dear Zoey. She looks so much like my own pups. Please give Andy a hug and a treat from his Aunt Peggy. I know he will be lost without his beloved sister. Lots of love coming your way. Peg

Sweet Mar. Your heart is heavy. There is a hollow spot where Zoey occupied her space. It hurts that she's not here. It hurts that this an inevitable part of life's cycle. But if I know anything, I know this: her spirit is with you and she lives on. It won't feel better for awhile because she is not physically here. But in the meantime, let yourself smile at her memory even as you feel those tears. I have lost fur kids in my life and it is the same as losing a family member: we love them, we care for them, we get to know their quirks and personalities. Zoey's personality and life will live on in you. Her spirit has released to The Great Beyond where she is young again, happy, and waiting for the day in the distant future when you will run together, frolicking and laughing like old friends even while her spirit also exists in your heart in the present moment. I'm sending you big hugs, light, love and thoughts of healing for your heart. More hugs. And more hugs.
