So...today is the 6th, too much time has gone by since I've seen Joe. I've decided I am going to focus on one of the many things that still makes me happy everyday.
Miss Zoe. She is my "new" partner in crime and truly brings a smile to my face each day. (Some of you might be thinking - what about Skittles...She is a little moody and so Zoe and I try and give her space. She is still in the family.)
Watching Zoe play in the leaves and snow was one of our favorite things to do. Zoe was our little girl and the love she shows me still and the love she shared with Joe is / was amazing.

Zoe was always by Joe's side - ready to help eat a sandwich, take a nap, or give him a needed kiss. They were always together. It has been hard on Zoe. She is different. She lays on the couch and is just sad. She is coming around though. She snuggles in at night with me - and will not rest until her pillow is properly placed under her head. She found a tennis ball in the basement the other day and played with it for 5 hours straight - I only wanted to burn the ball 2 times. She tried to playfully bite my face off while I was working on some Yoga. Her spirit is picking up.
More frequently she has been barking like someone is here. I get up and go look to see who is here - and there is no one. I really feel like Joe is here - just stopping in to check on us. At first, it was a little unsettling, but it's a bark that states - I know who is here...it's my dad.
Here are a few more pictures that show our "dog"hter. She is basically human - her posture, her personality and her attitude :).

Where would I be with out Zoe...The other day, I teared up when asked a question... Zoe hopped right up on my lap and tucked her head into my chest - a hug - she needed to comfort her mom.
The best part - Zoe was a birthday present from Joe. Just one of the many special things he did for me. I am lucky in some ways - in a lot of ways.
