Zoey and her new pack (Calvin and Tango). Looks like she’s already settling in. Couldn’t let this old girl face uncertainty (certainly not a shelter), so here we are. Our guys are used to welcoming in fosters, already making her feel welcome.

Awesome!

A sad update. After almost 2 years with us, Zoey crossed the Rainbow Bridge today. Her arthritis worsened and worsened to the point that she couldn't stand, let alone walk, anymore. We had a lovely vet from Caring Pathways come to the house today, and she did such a beautiful job helping Zoey rest peacefully. Calvin, Curbee and Coco were on the blanket with her the entire time. When she was gone, Calvin sniffed her, then literally hung his head and went inside to lay down (he has never once gone in the house if I'm outside).

Although only with us 2 years, she quickly became family, and was best friends with my wife. She was an incredibly wise old soul, and taught us much about stoicism and grace. No matter her pain, she was always bright-eyed and wagging. She was the epitome of a peaceful being.

I really thought we were going to lose her sooner, but for the last 3 months, we've had a vet coming to the house twice a week doing acupuncture, laser treatments, e-stim, and other pain-management modalities, as well as extensive prescription combinations. This absolutely extended her life, with quality. Happy to PM info if anyone has a need. Zoey also wore a harness with handles that allowed us to assist her (and then fully carry her).

Zoey, you were an amazing girl. You will be missed, and remembered.

Of course, I notified Sparky before posting this.

OK...I got all teary eyed and still have a big lump in my throat. I knew as soon as I saw this thread revived what the news would be.

Jeff... that was probably the best tribute to a little pup I think I've ever seen. As blessed as you and your family were with Zoey's presence in your life these past couple of years she was blessed even more so. I am in awe of your generosity and willingness to care for a needy animal to the extent you did with Zoey.

Thanks for the update, as sad as it was. Thanks for caring for that sweet, old soul the way you did. I'm glad Zoey is no longer struggling but I grieve your loss with you.

Thank you Fentonite. Condolences to both of you.
