Zoe Shannons Loyal Companion
This is my baby Zoe. She was born November 12, 2003. I had her from birth. She was the daughter to my other baby Abby. She was born with PDA (patent ductus atereosis) and I was told by many vets she would not make it past 7 months old. This was told to me on her second health check. See her heart was very large and you could feel a washing machine swish when you held her. Other than that she was a normal happy go lucky puppy. I decided I would raise her as a normal puppy I mean how can you put a puppy down that acts like it is completely healthy and happy. Almost 7 months to the date Zoe started having seizures...she had them so badly that she was hospitalized for a few days to get them to stop. When I went to see her at the vets office they told me that she wouldn't live much longer and that she was going to be in a hospice state for the rest of her life. Well, I opted to take her home and make the best of it because I just couldn't understand it. She was in no pain and as soon as I got her home she was completely happy and herself again no hospice state. She did have her ups and downs every now and then having days where she would pace because this also caused liver problems as well but medicine for a day usually got rid of it for months. I didn't take many pictures of her and I have no idea why now. I feel so stupid why did I miss all those photo opportunities...? Anyway, on May 11th 2007 Zoe started having seizures again I was at work so my hubby rushed her to the vets office. The vet called me and decided to keep her overnight since it was the weekend and he wanted to make sure he got her back under control again. He called me that night and told me she was doing ok just sleeping....Then at 7am on Mother's Day morning I got the call that my baby girl didn't make it through the night. It has been so very painful. Her mommy Abby and all of us miss her so much. She was such as special baby. She could basically talk by the different noises she made you knew exactly what she wanted. She only grew to be 2lbs and 3oz but was a complete bundle of joy. She followed me everywhere....to the bathroom, to take a shower, to bed, outside, next door...all over. She wouldn't leave my side...Even when her mother would go running ahead of us she stayed by my side... I miss my baby so much and I know that we will meet again someday at Rainbow Bridge. No one will ever replace my Zoe and I thank god everyday that he let us love her and take care of her...and that I got to love her from when I could feel her kicking in her mommy's tummy and held her for hours the night before she passed. I would have never let go of her that night if I had known what she would go through the next day...:( I love you my precious Zoe Zoe Zoe...
