One of our precious doggy clients died last week. 
We got this beautiful note from Christine, Zoe’s mom. It brought tears to my eyes and I wanted to share it with all you dog lovers out there who have lost your dogs. I know you’ll be able to relate to Christine’s heartfelt letter about her loss.
Zoe–you were an incredible dog and will be missed.

Dear Kristin,
I thought I’d share something I wrote about Zoe last Friday to family and friends. I needed to do something before I went to bed that night, and attempted to write something earlier in the day, but couldn’t stop crying to see the screen. Below is what I shared with everyone:
Hello everyone,
Early this morning, Zoe passed away quietly in her sleep.
She fought a good fight, but we knew this day was coming when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer in Oct 2009. Through her chemo treatments, she was able to get into clinical remission until May 2010 when the chemo wasn’t helping anymore. We opted for a last ditch effort on an anti-inflammatory drug and an appetite stimulant to make her comfortable and help with her symptoms. Throughout this time, we kept up with acupuncture, Chinese herbs, dietary changes to minimize the cancer growth, and any nutritional supplements.
There was a noticeable slow-down in the last week of June, the turning point came on July 4th, and then seemed to change so fast from the time we left for work to when we came home.
We’ve been very blessed with her entrance into our lives, and it’s difficult to remember what life was like before she was here. She belonged instantly. There is a void in our home and in our hearts; she’s everywhere you look and a piece of us feels so incredibly empty. To me, there will never be enough Zoe time because she tapped into my heart like nobody has ever done.
We want to THANK YOU all for your thoughts, prayers, blessings, love and light as you all know how much she was a part of completing us as a family.
— Christine, Ryan and Thor
