Karin,
I'm so sad to read that Zoe is gone... I know how heartbroken you are feeling...
You wrote such a beautiful tribute to her... Zoe is no longer in pain from this nasty cancer, and she can run pain-free in heaven... You were an awesome and loving mom to her and I'm sure that she knows that.
I know that her spirit will be with you always... Rest in peace sweet Zoe... You will be missed, but never forgotten!

Jake, 10yr old golden retriever (fractured his front right leg on 9/1, bone biopsy revealed osteosarcoma on 9/10, amputation on 9/17) and his family Marguerite, Jacques and Wolfie, 5yr old german shepherd and the newest addition to the family, Nala, a 7mth old Bengal mix kittie. Jake lost his battle on 11/9/2009, almost 8 weeks after his surgery. We will never forget our sweet golden angel… http://jakesjou.....ipawds.com ….. CANCER SUCKS!
Karin, what a beautiful tribute to Zoe I hope that I can do the same for Tehya in a day or so. I know that they are now running pain free together. My Tehya did the same as Zoe this morning to my husband I am sure it is their way of telling like you say they have had enough! Please stay strong as I am trying to do the same.

What a beautiful tribute you have written about your little girl. I am so sorry for your loss. I know that you and Zoe shared a special bond and that you are heartbroken. May your memories of Zoe comfort you. You are in my prayers. It is always hard to say goodbye but it truely is the last thing we can do to show our babies how much we love them.

Oh Karin,
My heart just breaks for you right now. I can't believe Zoe has left us.
Yes, "we get it". We totally understand even though we can't take away the hurt.
Your tribute was beautiful. She was the perfect companion and I'm sorry that is gone. I hope you can find comfort in knowing how much love the two of you shared.
Lots of warm thoughts,

Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
So very very sorry to hear about Zoe. What a beautiful tribute about the bond the two of you will always share.
Warm & furry hugs,

Karin,
I am sorry that Zoe came to the end of her road so soon. You wrote a beautiful piece about her. And you are right- everyone here gets it about our dogs.
I hope that all those good things you wrote about help you get through the next part of your journey.
