Your heart will take time to mend. Just give it the time to do that. I have lost 2 to cancer, neither as young as Zoey, but both very painful losses. I also have a boy diagnosed with cancer in April of this year...and Samson is my "heart dog". He is the one that taught me the special traits of rotties and bound my eternal love for the breed. Your tribute to Zoey describes the relationship the two of you shared, a special, unconditional love that cannot be replaced. My best advice is...don't ever try to replace her. It won't happen. She will ALWAYS hold a very special piece of your heart. Each of mine that has gone to the bridge still have a very special place within my heart. I am a firm believer that the things that happen are suppose to, the man upstairs has a reason...don't get me wrong, there are times I get mad as **ll that I can't change the outcome...but I've learned to accept it. Each of mine that has left me, has brought me another that needed a special home in their place. Tuxedo brought me Moses and Sasha brought me Deja Vu. There are so many similarities, yet so many differences. Time will help you to remember Zoey fondly and to smile at her memories. Time will also help you to think about her without tears flowing. My heart aches for you that you have to endure such a great loss but remember she has left you in physical body yet she is forever with you as your "rottie angel". I am truly sorry for you and your family. Let your heart grieve and one day, when you're ready, perhaps there is another little one that will capture a different piece of that generous heart.
