12/17/22 My precious Zoey, I hoped I would never be writing to you here, but here I am. The house is so empty without you and I feel so lost. My heart is broken but I know you are healthy and playing with all your new friends. I am sure you have met Tiffany and all the other fur babies that were before you. I hope Grandpa met you there because he loved you so much. I think of you every minute of the day and night. I love you with all my heart and soul. Run and play and know my beautiful girl that we will be together again. Lots of love and kisses, Mommy

12/18/22 My darling Zoey, I am getting so many beautiful messages for you and how loved and special you were here. I read a story about Murphy, the dog, who I am sure you have met now because he is the greeter there. I never knew how empty this house could be without you here. You were what always made me want to get back home and now I open the door and you aren't there with a baby in your mouth. I am sure you are carrying babies all around while playing and running with your friends. I love you with all my heart and soul. I am sending lots of kisses to you, Mommy

12/19/22 Good morning, my sweet girl. I wake up and talk to you, but nights I cry myself to sleep without you on the bed. I know it will take time and I will get there. I feel you everywhere here in the house. I saw 2 of your boyfriends. Wilson came over and was looking all over for you. He just didn't understand why you weren't here. Yesterday I took little Bennett all your favorite treats. He gave me kisses and loved your treats. I am sure you are getting all your favorites in Heaven. I miss you so deeply and talk to you constantly. Play and have fun until I see you again. Love and kisses, Mommy

12/21/22 My Sweet Zoey, So many people have been asking about you and are so sad hearing you left. I know you are happy and healthy, but I miss you so much. I am going to Kerri's tomorrow, one of your favorite people, to have Christmas with the family. I am taking some of your favorite treats for Mia and Luna. They loved you too and don't like many other dogs. You won over so many hearts. Merry Christmas, Sweetheart. It won't be the same with not watching you play with new babies I got you and enjoying your favorite treats. I love you so much. Mommy

12/26/22 My precious Zoey, Christmas wasn't the same without you here. I am with Kerri and the family. Your friends Mia and Luna love your favorite treats and Luna keeps reminding me to give her more. So many photos popped up of you in your Christmas outfits when we went for our therapy dog visits. Paws and Hearts did a Facebook post and you had 3 photos in that. Everyone asks about you and several started crying when I told them you had left us. I love you sweet girl and know you had a happy and healthy Christmas in Heaven with all your friends. I found a white feather today and know you are watching over me. Lots of love and kisses. Mommy

1/2/23 My Sweet Girl, It is a new year without you. Going through New Year's Eve with you not here was so tough. When the fireworks started I thought that I needed to hug you because you didn't like them. You were probably happy not having to hear them for the first time. I spent my first Christmas without you and I felt lost, even though I was with the family. I know the pain will get easier with time, but my life revolved totally around you. Everything is so different now. I love you my precious girl and know you are happy and healthy. Kisses, Mommy

1/11/23 Hi Sweeheart, I watched a live video tonight of the rescue where I took all your toys. You would have loved to have seen it because so many of your favorite toys were there and the dogs were playing with them. Three dogs were playing tug with one of them like you and Gracie used to do. I cried through it but I was glad to see what you loved is being enjoyed by other rescue dogs. I miss you so much every minute but I felt you last night watching that video. I imagine you and Gracie are having fun playing tug again. Lots of hugs and kisses, Mommy.

1/19/23 Good morning my sweet girl, I thought last night I heard you in the house. I guess it was wishing you were here. I walk in the door and you aren't there to greet me with your baby in your mouth. This house is so empty without you. I am taking care of Darcy for a few days and when she first saw me, she was looking at me and sniffing for you. Your friends don't understand. Wilson comes by with his mom and he keeps looking at the door for you to come out. I miss you every second. I am having your doggie door filled in because I keep seeing you going in and out it. You touched my soul so deeply. Everyone misses you and your sweet kisses. Play and have fun until I see you again. Kisses, Mommy

2/5/23 Hi Sweet Girl, Today is warmer and I thought about taking a walk, but just can't do it yet. My walks have always been with you. I know everyone will ask where you are. I keep thinking I hear you at night and feel you on the bed. The house is so empty when I walk in the door and you aren't there to greet me with a baby in your mouth. I got to meet the puppy of a friend and oh how you would love him. He is so playful. My friends have had me over to love on their precious babies and you would love them all. I know you are happy and running with all your friends. I wait for the day I will see you again and what an eternity we will have together. Give kisses to Tiffany, Sadie, Gracie, and all the other fur babies. Love and kisses, Mommy.

2/28/23 My sweet girl, I am sitting here crying and missing you so much. I saw 2 of your favorite couples today at the mailboxes. They asked if you were in the car and were so sad when I told them you were gone from here. Angela and her husband, Kim, said you were their therapy and they have missed seeing you looking out the front window. They were so sad hearing you weren't here. Then the other couple who lives across the street said they had been concerned not seeing you at the window. I see how loved you were. My heart is empty without you and I don't know if it will ever feel better. I love you and know you are happy and healthy. The day will come when we will be together again. Hugs and kisses, love Mommy. 💖❤️💕

3/15/23 My precious girl, I just read a beautiful tribute about you written by Paws and Hearts. Of course it made the tears flow with missing you. All the amazing stories of people you made feel better makes me know how loved you will always be. Maybe you have met the man in this story. I sure hope so because you were his last visitor and he said that he loved you. I hope you have met many of the people you helped over the years of therapy dog visits. I love you so much and you will be in my heart forever while I am here on Earth. I love you baby girl. Hugs and kisses, Mommy

3/29/23 My Sweet Baby Girl, It is 4 months today that you left me. I miss you so much & the house still feels so empty without you. I miss everything you did with greeting me at the door with a baby in your mouth when I came home, our daily walks, playing ball, and so much more. The weather is supposed to finally warm up and I don't know how I am going to be able to walk without you. Life has been a real challenge without you. I know that you are playing and feeling well again and hopefully you are with lots of friends. I will see you again and can't wait for all your kisses. Love and kisses sweetheart, Mommy

4/10/23 Oh my precious Zoey, I miss you so much every minute of every day. I have your photos all over the house and have your memorial with cards & favorite stuffed babies on my dresser, so I talk to you every night. I worked in the yard and really missed seeing you roll around on the grass. Everything I do reminds me of you. You have my heart and soul forever and I know we will be together again one day. I love you so much, sweetheart. Love and hugs, Mommy.

5/2/23 My precious Zoey, I am missing you so much every day. I just got home from Kerri's and it was sad that you weren't there with me to play with Mia and Luna. They are moving far away, so I won't be seeing them much anymore. I love you so much sweet girl and don't know if my heart will ever feel better. The house is so lonely. I have no desire to get another dog and had a chance to take a cat, but I just can't. The connection I had with you can never be replaced. Run and play and be happy and healthy until we reunite. Love and kisses, Mommy.

6/1/23 My Sweet Baby Girl, I got home from Kerri's a few days ago and the house is so empty. Six months just passed without you and it feels like an eternity, but my heart still hurts just as bad as the day you left. I spent almost 2 weeks at Kerri's with little Mia cuddled up to me and it made it even harder to come home without you. I know you are having fun with all your friends and that you are healthy again, and I will be with you again one day. I had several chances to get other dogs and a cat, but none can ever take your place in my heart. I am going on a trip overseas later this month and have lots of things planned to keep me busy. I love you so much. Hugs and kisses, Mommy.

7/24/23. My Sweet Zoey Girl, I have been missing you so much and shedding so many tears again. I see so many reminders of you. A friend posted about therapy dogs and it made me so sad. I know how much you loved your work. I hope you are doing therapy dog work in Heaven. I went on a wonderful trip with Kerri and Katie. It was the trip of my lifetime. I saw so many dogs at the different ports. Italy really loves their dogs. An island in Greece had lots of cats that were so friendly. Then coming back home without you here was such a downer. The house is so quiet and lonely. I love and miss you so much. Send me a sign. Love and lots of kisses, Mommy

9/16/23 Dear Precious Zoey, I am sitting here crying and felt like talking to you. I got your Home Again renewal and had to cancel it. Today I am sorting through all the dog stuff and it all makes me miss you so much. There are so many memories of you in all these things. Then a song came on the radio just now and it was my dad's favorite country song. I pray that you and dad are together. He loved you so much. I made a quilt for the Paws and Hearts dog walk since we can't do our therapy dog visits. Richard is so excited to get it and will raffle it off. I found your therapy dog scarves and also your service dog vest. You were so special and I don't know if my heart will ever heal. Send me a sign sweetheart. I love you so deeply. Love and hugs and kisses, Mommy.

11/4/23 My sweet Zoey, I wish so much you were here. It's a tough time and I need your kisses. I am sending you lots of hugs and kisses sweetheart. I miss you everyday and can't believe that the end of the month you will be gone for one year. My heart will never heal. Your are my precious baby girl forever. Love, Mommy

11/29/23 My beautiful, sweet Zoey, Today is 1 year since you left me and I can't believe it has been that long. My heart is so empty without you. I miss you so much every day. You have my heart and I can't imagine any other fur baby making it feel whole again. I have little Marley visiting this month and it has been nice with a dog in the house. I wish you were here because you would love her. I pray every day that we will be together one day again. I hope you are playing with your friends and past sisters. I also hope you are with my dad because he loved you so much here. Lots of hugs and kisses to you sweet baby girl. Love you lots, Mommy

2/6/24 My precious Zoey, How I miss you everyday. So many things remind me of you constantly. I spent the holidays at Kerri's new home with her dogs, but missed you so much being there and playing with them. I had memories pop up of you with me at past Christmases. Everything reminds me of you. I wish everyday that you were here. Today is extra hard because 3 years ago dad left. I know in my heart he is with you because he always called you his dog. Give him a kiss for me. Life has been tough at times this past year and I have wanted your kisses and snuggles. I know you are happy and well. I will see you again one day. Lots of love and hugs and kisses, sweet girl. Mommy.

2/20/24 My sweet girl, Today is your 13th birthday and it hit me hard. I miss you so much and wish you were here so you could get a special birthday treat. I am sure you are celebrating in Heaven and running and playing. Happy Birthday my beautiful Zoey. I love you so much and miss you every minute. Lots of hugs and kisses. mommy.

5/12/24. My precious Zoey, I have been gone a month on a road trip. At the end of the trip, I picked up a little Poodle, named Maddie. She wasn't in my plan, but I know you had some input with God on bringing her to me. As much as I never wanted another dog when you left, she is exactly what I needed to heal. She is so full of love and in my lap when I sit down. We both needed each other and the house isn't empty anymore. You would have loved her and been a big mom to her. Today is Mother's Day and I miss you so much. I hope you are giving all the moms in Heaven kisses today. I love you forever sweet girl and know that we will be together again one day. Hugs and kisses. Mommy ❤️
