In the post subtitle, I called her "Heart-Stealer Extraordinaire," but she was first and foremost a heart HEALER. She came into my life 4 months after my first iggy left for the bridge, and more than filled the gaping hole in my heart. I am celebrating as much as I'm mourning -- I was her third owner, and she still gave me all of her heart. What a precious gift!

This makes me sad, Zoe was one of my very favourite little dogs.

 

The name Brick Butt was given to Zoe by Alisha in 2007. I had stopped by her booth at Sandy Paws and handed her to Alisha so I could shop for Peanut's coming home collar. When I chose the collar Alisha handed Zoe back to me with an oomph and said "here you take little Miss Brick Butt, she's heavy!" :lol

 

I don't have any pictures from that year as I stored them somewhere other than photobucket and they deleted them :(

 

But I do have these from SP 2008

Oh Mary, I remember when you adopted Zoe. I'm so glad the two of you got to spend so much time together, even though it wasn't enough. I'm so very sorry. :grouphug

I'm so sorry this little peanut Princess had to go. Her photos are wonderful and show a life so lived and loved, my favorite is of her in her basket of stuffies. So very sorry.

I'm sorry, Mary. I was SO worried Pippin was going to eat Zoe that day. :-)

 

 

Weren't we all!?!?!?! :lol He'll be happy to not have to wear his muzzle all day. She has walked into him so many times when he's sleeping, due to her blindness. The only way to keep her safe at this point was to muzzle him, or not let her be where we were at all, which wasn't a good choice. He's been sticking close to me all day today - he knows my heart hurts. :wub:

I'll be telling that story in this thread at some point. It's purely the magic of GT that she was in my life at all. GT saved her life in 2007

Ya know, Kristin, her last mom told me "she's got five more years in her, easy!" She was right. the last two cold winters were really hard on her, so I was happy that this one has been more mild. And the forecast calls for very wintry weather over this weekend. That influenced my decision, too. She was already having a rough time -- it would just be rougher when it was freezing or sub-freezing temps outside.

 

 

I "just happened" to have ordered a new hibiscus plant -- it arrived this week. I'm going to name it Zoe and plant it in my front yard by Angie & Jessie's butterfly bushes. It's a Cajun Hisbiscus "Tres Bon" -- very unique, just like my little girl was.

Mary that is a GORGEOUS hibiscus! I have a mental image of Zoe with a blossom tucked behind her ear :)

I told Jason the sad news tonight (he's in Miami at the moment). We are both so sorry she had to go. Zoe gave us both an appreciation for little dogs that we never had before. I expect one day we'll have a little Zoe of our own, thanks to her. Hugs to you from us.

See, THAT was her gift (besides healing hearts)...she changed lots of people's opinions about small dogs.

 

I've waked up several times tonight, and finally just gave up and got up....each time I woke up, she was the first thought on my brain. Guess that means I'm missing her. :(

Your last gift to her was letting her go, and it illustrates the depth of your love for her. I know your heart is hurting. I am so sorry , she was beautiful.
