Zoie

2013

October 26, 2012, Zoie, a beautiful black and white 7 year old German Shorthaired Pointer, became a part of our family by means of adoption from Pointing Dog Rescue Canada. There was no way of knowing just how much she would affect not only our lives, but those lives her heart touched. Zoe, in Greek, means “Life”, and she was so appropriately named, and there was no need to change it. For Catcher (my Sheltie) and me, she raised the vibration in our household after having lost Pepper, our German Shorthaired Pointer in February 2012, and my spouse, Susan, in April 2012. Zoie not only instantly became a companion for Catcher; Zoie and I immediately connected at a much deeper level, going as far as to say soul mates. Zoie connected me to a lot of new friends and reconnected me with old friends. That was just her way.
On one occasion when Zoie and I were at the Vet for her tests, and as we were leaving, a chocolate lab was having a seizure in the waiting room, and Zoie went to him and sniffed him and stayed by his side until he was taken care of and only then was it okay to leave the Vet’s office.
Her energy was boundless, and how she loved the chase of a rabbit or squirrel.
She was an extraordinary teacher for both Catcher and I, as she was for my dear friends, Fernanda and Melinda as well. I am so grateful to have been blessed with Zoie in my life. She took ill in September 2013 and after treatment(s) on a weekly basis, she was coming along, then the dis-ease blatantly took a down turn in the last 3 weeks, and even more so the last week. Thursday night (Dec 19, 2013), the message was clear. I made PEACE with Zoie, expressed how much I LOVE her, and told her that she will be FREE soon. Friday, December 20, 2013, Zoie was laid to rest by our Vet in our home at approximately 4:15 pm. She went in PEACE and gave and received LOVE as she crossed over. She was and is a remarkable dog, and I know that she is happy, healthy and thankful, as she runs around with boundless energy. God Bless her Soul. ♥ ♥ ♥

In addition to my testimonial for Zoie, I extend my heartfelt “THANKS” to my dearest friends, Melinda Erin Whitehead and Fernanda Morley, who both provided treatments for my dear Zoie, as well as supporting both Catcher and I, and helped Zoie cross over and so much more. I also extend my “THANKS” to Dr. Steve Stewart of Pathways Holistic Pet Care, who was involved with acupuncture treatments, homeopathy and more for Zoie. Last, BUT NOT LEAST, I extend my “THANKS” to Dr. Raj (such a kind hearted man), Veterinarian of Beaver Creek Animal Hospital, who so caringly provided the means to help Zoie cross over peacefully in our own home.

Blessings ♥ ♥ ♥
