Hi Deanna
Thanks for replying to me in my thread -- it means alot. I read your whole thread - what a heartbreaking story to lose Zoe at such a young age. I am glad that you have Sasha -- and we are seriously considering getting another Westie -but I'm wondering if it's still too soon and if I'm still to traumatized by Sammy's 7 month illness. I want to be able to relax and enjoy our new Westie and right now I'm worried about what to feed her - which vaccines does she really need -- will she be as wonderful as Sammy? All those questions run through my mind and I don't want to short-change a new puppy - because she deserves to be loved as much as Sammy was -- by the way - when we do get our new Westie girl - her name will be Bailey ---I am working on getting my courage up to get another one --- just need to find a reputable breeder who has healthy Westies.
Thanks again for your kind words -- they're so helpful.

You're welcome Sharon. I just know how you feel right now. I'm glad you are considering getting another westie, I couldn't bring myself to get a different breed of dog, westies are the most fun loving pets to have. I'm actually thinking about getting a second one, if I can talk my husband into it. He doesn't want me to, but he would not get ANY attention. (ha) I know the fear of how this new puppy is going to "compare" to Sammy. I did the same thing with Zoe. Zoe was so smart ...and when I got Sasha, God Bless her soul, I love her with all my heart, but when we got her and started working with her, we thought she was a lil' "special~ slower than what Zoe was, if you get what I mean" ...I would snicker and talked to Zoe every so often to ask her to "help me out girl". ha It's been a great process though, Sasha has come a long way, we love her just the way she is. Do your research on a reputable breeder. Although very energetic, I discovered a day or two after I got her, she was so sick with kennel cough, upper respitory infections, etc. It took a couple of weeks to bring her back to good health. My heart was breaking for her until I got her well. I am now soooooo proctective of her, I will NOT take her off her leash unless we are in the house or locked in the back yard. I can't imagine dealing the pain of losing my pet again.

Well, I've got to get ready for work. I'll be in touch.
Much love for your sad heart.
Sammy is still with you.
Deanna

I am thinking about your sweetheart, it's coming up on two years and I feel like I lost you yesterday.
I love and miss my lil' Zo Zo.
Mama

I thought of you today Zoe. Mama misses you.

I read your first post about what happened to Zoe. Unbearable to see how it came about. Probably unbearable when you replay the events in your head. Even after all this time, just wanted to recognize your love for your Zo Zo.

Dennis

Dennis,
Thank you so much for your thoughts and recognizing the love I had for my Zoe (zo zo). I really appreciate it.
It's people like you that make the world a nicer place.
Take care,
Deanna

I still love and miss you so much Zoe.

Hi, Deanna... I wasn't actively participating on the forums when you lost Zoe but I wanted to say now how sorry I am you lost her, especially the way you did. I lost my dog Winston almost two weeks ago much the same way; he bolted out the front door and was hit by a car. I know exactly the pain you're feeling, because I'm feeling it too, every day.

While the grief for me has mostly abated (I process my grief very quickly, I've learned recently) I still ache when I think of Winston and tear up when I think of how we lost him. Like you did for Zoe, he's buried in our back yard, his grave surrounded by a small picket fence, covered with paving stones and a nice headstone that we made for him. And while there's only one window in my house that I can see his resting place from I know it's there and it hurts to know that Winston, who was so full of life and energy, is lying there in rest.

Again, I am so sorry for your loss but you've definitely come to the right place to heal.

I would first off like to say I'm very sorry for your loss. You two sounded like you shared a very special bond and were very attached to each other.
I am also going through the same pain that you are. The love of my life passed away 3 days ago so don't feel you are alone in your pain and suffering.
The only thing that can really take away that pain is time. When you think of the memories of you two, just remember how blessed and lucky you were to have your puppy friend in your life.
That seems to help me when I am feeling sad. Keep coming to this site to vent or share how your feeling. It really has helped me and the people here are amazingly nice.
I hope you find peace soon.

I still think of you Zoe, I miss you.

It's been three years, almost up to the hour, today since I lost you. You are still in my heart, I think of you and miss you very much.

Dear Deanna

I too read your original post on how Zoe was taken from you. Remembering her today is extra special. Friday was my Gretta's two month anniversary. We'll love them always. Always.

Hi, Deanna, thank you so much for sharing your and Zoe's "angel-versary" with us. It doesn't matter how much time goes by - - our beloved companions are always and forever in our hearts and memories. No amount of time can ever take this away from us - - not even the dimming of our minds with age.

I hope today is treating you kindly, Deanna. The love bond you and Zoe share is eternal - - it is not dependent upon the physical laws of time and space. Please know your precious Zoe is smiling down on you as she continues to share your earthly journey just as she always has and always will. And please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, Deanna.

Peace and blessings,
