7/26/18: It's been three weeks now. We miss you very much, Zoe. We realize now how much you filled the house with your personality and energy. Unfortunately, it wasn't positive a lot of the time, but walking with you was a joy, and playing with you in the yard was so much fun. I think Roxie misses you, but Layla is happy you aren't attacking her any more, as it really bothered her arthritis and caused a lot of stress to us all. I have wind chimes with your name on it under the tree where we would sit together, and I would brush your fur. You always liked that. I have your ashes over the fireplace, where you would warm your fur, with your picture and some candles. I so wish we could have figured out why you behaved the way you did, and come up with the way to fix it, but we couldn't.

We lost Jasmine the week after you, and I hope that you two are together in dog heaven now, playing like you used to, before she went blind. You two had so much fun, and I also found pictures of you snuggling on the sofa together, looking so happy. I hope you are both happy and free. I think of you both every day, and always will.

8/2/18 It's now four weeks. Just wanted to say that you are never far from my mind and I am keeping our good times together first in my thoughts of you.

9/5/18 Two months have passed, Zoe. I was thinking about you the other night as I lay in bed. Layla can't jump up to cuddle anymore due to her arthritis, and Roxie only cuddles a little bit, but you were a great cuddler. The only problem was that you would growl and snarl at me if I tried to pet you. I still miss you, though, for all your faults, you did have some sweetness and we had some good times. It's just that the bad times were SO bad. I hope you are happy now and playing with Jasmine in doggie heaven.

11/5/18 Thinking of you, Zoe. Missing our good walks together. You were the best girl on walks. Love you, my crazy girl.

12/5/18 Today is five months, and as you know, we lost Layla on 12/1/18. I sure hope that she is with you and Jasmine now, playing and cuddling together as you did in life, years ago. I know the last time you were with Layla, you weren't really very nice to her, but now you have moved beyond that, and all those fears and stresses are gone.
I love you all and miss you all so much. You all were so easy to love, and it's so hard to say goodbye.

3/25/19 Heading into 8 months, and it's now spring. I miss our walks together so much. For horrible you could be inside the house, on a walk, you were a different dog. You were calm, attentive, and sweet. You worried about going too far, and jumped at every sudden leaf movement, as despite your growling and snarling, you actually were very fearful. I still wish I could have found a new home for you with that one person that would understand you, but we just couldn't. You will live forever in my memory, and I will never forget you. I hope you are hanging out with Layla and Jasmine without any fear or worry. Love you, my Zoe butt.

7/5/19 It's been a year. A lot of changes, and a new puppy in the house, giving Roxie both a hard time and love, just as you did. I miss you so much, Zoe.

4/21/2020 Although I haven't posted for a while, I think about you every day. I had a dream about you a few nights ago. Kona is smart, like you, and loves to watch the squirrels like you did. I love you, Zoe.

7/5/2020 Wow, two years now Zoe, and thinking of you still brings tears to my eyes. I miss going on walks with you, Zoe. I hope there is a dog heaven, and you are playing with Jasmine and Layla, and maybe some new friends. I hope that you are free of all the fear and anxiety you had, and that I get to see you to again. Love you forever, Zoe.

7/5/2021 I think of you every day, Zoe, and with regret and love. I regret that I couldn't do more to save you. Sometimes I think if I could have just talked to you for five minutes to understand what motivated your behavior, we could have fixed it. I think about our good times over the bad, like our walks and the times you would snuggle with me. Roxie really loved you, too. She is getting older and having a lot of trouble with her arthritis, and Kona sometimes is too much for her but the difference is that Kona never attacks. Anyway, I love you, Zoe, and miss you. Say hi to Jas and Layla for me. I hope to see you all over the rainbow.

9/23/2021 I had a dream about you this morning, Zoe. You were in a kennel, and I went to get you out, and when you came to the door, you looked happy and were wagging your tail. You were also luminescent, shiny, glowing. It was good to see you. I love you.

7/5/2022 miss you and love you every day

7/5/2023 I hope you are playing with Roxie now, as she left us on 12/31/22. I have a picture of you chasing her in the snow and you both look so happy and strong. My wish is for you to be in heaven, happy and healthy and together with her and Layla and Jasmine, and that someday I can join you. You are not forgotten, my Zoe baby. I have told Kona all about you, and how good you were on our walks together. Love you and miss you, even though it was so hard especially that last year.

7/5/2024 Thinking of you, Zoe, and please know you are not forgotten at all. Kona is like you in that she loves heat, gets right on the fireplace like you used to do. I think about how beautiful you were, so smart, so wonderful when we walked together, and truly regret that you could not be here today, at 12 years old. Your muzzle would be gray, and you might have had some health troubles, but we would have taken care of you and made sure you were happy. I miss you and truly hope you are with the other girls and at peace now, and I will always be thinking of you.
