Today we reluctantly said goodbye to our sweetest and most loving little staffy, Zoe. She tried hard to stay but life became too hard..

Zoe warmed everyone's heart with her lovable and friendly ways. She always had a smile and a wagging tail and she never changed right up to today, she was wonderful with everyone - human and animal.

I still remember well over 15 years ago picking up a little 8 week old puppy with a name of Landaulad Fancy Nancy after a year or so of waiting. I was never disappointed. She was the best.

Zoe would be the longest serving dog foster carer for ARF, welcoming dogs into our foster home since 2000. She was always their rock.

Zoe, we feel privileged to have had you in our family for so long. It breaks our hearts to let you go but it is good to know that you can now run free and happy without the constraints of age.... Fly free our little one.

Oh Raelene,

I'm so sorry for your loss of Zoe. I have tears pouring down my face :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I know how much you and Malcolm love her and I'm so glad I had the pleasure of meeting her on a couple of occasions. She was divine and such a wonderful character. She looked so much like little Jessie, I could never tell them apart when we visited.

Rest easy Zoe... you did your loving family so proud, forever in their hearts.

Take care guys, we are thinking of you at such a devastating time. xxxx

Thanks for your kind thoughts. Zoe certainly was loved and will be dearly missed.

Baifra, yes she was so much like Jessie wasn't she. I think that was part of the reason Jessie jumped out at us when we saw her photo at the pound. I think Zoe touched everyone she met with her sweet nature - converted so many who were afraid of staffies. Never a kinder nature...

So sorry to hear Raelene. I have tears rolling down my cheeks.

Thinking of you & sending my condolences.

R.I.P. Zoe :o Run free again sweet girl. XXX

I AM WITH YOU



I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.

I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.

I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,

"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,

You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.

I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.

I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.

I want to reassure you, that I'm not lying there.

I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.

I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "it's me."

You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.

I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.

It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.

To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."

You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...

in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.

The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say

"goodnight, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,

I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.

I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.

Be patient, live your journey out ... then come home to be with me.
