vsrenard Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I don't have it in me to write a fitting tribute to my Zola, not yet. She came into our lives twelve and a half years ago, and lived to a ripe old age of fifteen. She had a grand life with us, the queen and diva of our little family. She was That Dog to me, the one who nestled herself in my heart and only made it grow bigger. I was a part of her and she will forever be a part of me. No regrets, ZoZo. We did anything and everything together and you lived life to the fullest, with fierce determination and an iron-tough strength. You are my hero and my soulmate, and I am so lucky we found each other. Quote Missing Zola, my hero and my heart; and Brin, my baby dog, my wisp of love.
